Thanks for the post. :-) I just bought one on your recommendation. Slow shipping though. It’s supposed to be here by September 25th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: USB Charging Port Question
Maybe because it is shipping from Shanghai, China??

So, to be clear, are you saying that the 12 V input chargers will accept the 6 V from the Model A system and still charge? Last edited by philcobill; 08-26-2023 at 09:08 PM. |

Re: USB Charging Port Question
Likely goes without saying, but this applies to the USB chargers only. Other plug-in accessories such as GPS, CB, radios, radar detectors, etc. actually do require the full 12 V from the cigarette lighter adapter.

Re: USB Charging Port Question
GPS, CB radio, radar detector apps are available to download to your phone from the internet. Google to find them. If you use a battery maintainer in the garage, hard wire the + and - leads to your bat cables. Cut the cord between the maintainer and the + and - leads and install a disconnect plug for reattachment. The side of that plug that comes from the battery can be used with half of another detachable plug wired to power and charge your phone loaded with all the apps you prefer. The male cigarette wiring plug that comes with your phone only allows 5 volts through because that is all the phone needs. It works great! You must use that male cigarette plug that came with your phone and you must wire the female socket like in a modern. Double check your wiring polarity. The device mentioned from Walmart would be an excellent choice also.

Re: USB Charging Port Question
I wired in a 12v version of something like this 6v version.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Car-DC-6V...SellerId=18988 I cut the back off of my cigarette lighter housing and snuck the usb charge port in the sleeve. Pretty slick. Here’s the 12v product I used. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B8C...b_b_asin_title I also agree with your son in that your not going to be charging very quickly, most of these chargers are 1.5a to 3a if you are lucky. An alternative solution is using a battery pack like below. It is “something extra” to carry but very effective. They even sell these chargers with hand warmer functions built in. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07XF...b_b_asin_title |
