[C320-list] Extra USB charger

[Warren Updike]

I connected ours to the 12v receptacle on the panel, the original one. It's a 10A with its own fuse, power LED, 2 regular plugs, 2 USB ports. There are 20 pages of these things on Amazon. DO NOT buy a cheapie! Look to pay in the $20 range. The one I found came with Velcro mount and screw mount. I attached it to the fwd facing vertical fwd of the panel, and wired behind the panel. Works great. 

I found a USB extension cord that winds on its own reel. The cord is conveniently out of the way when not in use. Easily & quickly pulls out to use.

Hi there!

We want to add an extra USB charger for our iPhones en iPads.
My question is how connect the charger to one of the batteries: directly to
one of the batteries with a 10A fuse, or via the switch board e.g. using
the wires for the 12V outlet ?
Anyone with experience or advise for this question?

Thanks in advance!
