Dual USB Car Charger Socket Panel 5V 3.1A 12V 24V for Car RV Motorcycle

A flat phone by the time you reach camp is usually a wiring problem, not a battery problem. One cigarette socket, two people and a nav app running is all it takes. This panel puts a permanent pair of USB outlets wherever you can cut or mount them: dash, caravan cabinet, canopy wall or a custom switch panel.

What the output figure actually means

The socket is rated 5 V at 3.1 A, and the supplier states plainly that the 3.1 A is shared across the two ports rather than available on each. Run one device and it has the whole allowance; run two and they divide it. That covers phones, dash cams and torches. No per-port maximum is published, and no fast-charging standard is named for this unit, so treat it as a plain 5 V supply and nothing more.

Built into the vehicle, not hanging off it

Input is DC 12-24 V, so one part suits a car, a truck, a caravan or a bike. The body measures 81 x 41 x 20 mm and mounts two ways, either recessed through a panel or surface-mounted on a flat face. The shell is flame-retardant PC, a plastic chosen because it resists heat and self-extinguishes rather than feeding a fire, which matters in a socket buried behind trim. Wiring is two leads only: red to positive, black to negative.

Key features

• Two ports, one supply: a passenger can plug in without unplugging you, sharing the rated 5 V 3.1 A.
• 12-24 V input: the same part covers car, 4WD, truck, caravan and motorcycle systems.
• Flame-retardant PC housing: rated from -40 degrees C to 90 degrees C, which covers a dash in a Queensland summer.
• Flush or surface mount: recess it into a panel or fix it to a flat face.
• LED indicator: the outlet stays findable in the dark.

Before you fit this

• Confirm your system voltage, 12 V or 24 V, before wiring anything in.
• The pack contents list the socket only. Mounting screws appear in the supplier's feature text but not in its parts list, so plan to supply your own fixings.
• No panel cut-out dimension is published. Measure the housing itself before cutting anything.
• No fuse rating is given. Any permanent 12 V or 24 V accessory circuit should be wired and protected by someone competent to do it.
• Not for high-current loads such as inverters or power tools.

Wired in once, it stops being something you think about.
