    Recently the cover to one of my accessory outlets broke, instead of replacing it with the equivalent part I figured I'd install a USB socket instead. I'm having trouble finding anything that seems like decent quality. Has anyone tried something like this with good success?

    Many of these have really poor fakespot ratings which makes me cautious to buy one

    I like the way it looks and it reads well. They don't seem to say the output. Like 1.5A 2.1A or 2.4A?

    I'm not worried about the $15, I'm more worried about some crap quality Chinese charger frying my $1,000 phone or catching fire in the truck. I wish Anker or Aukey made these types of sockets

    Do you experience the same issue that guy with his RV had in his review? When you plug in your phone does the voltage read really low?

    After a little thought I might just remove the plastic cover and keep one of these in the socket permanently

    Check Front Runners site. I saw some on their site recently. More pricey that EBay, but less likely to burn your truck down.

    Blue Sea has been a reputable brand in the past

    It does that but i believe it is reading the voltage that it is using to charge the phone. Iv not had any issues with it.

    I don’t know the brand but I put a double usb In my socket that lost a cover and it has worked great.

    Question: why pay for the output readout? It charges or it doesn’t - or am I missing something?

    Because the extra 1$ is nothing and people like readouts.

    It's supposed to be input voltage, not output.
