Electrical help needed

I’m installing this and need to know the fuse size l will need. The system comes with a fuse but I have decided to go the add-a-fuse route to avoid a T-tap.

 

What size is the fuse that comes with the outlet?

 

It’s a 1.3A on 12v draw so I’d start with a 2A fuse

 

2A should be adequate.
(It says on the side that it draws 1.3A @ 12V, so 2 should be fine).

 

Y'all missed 5v/2.4a, It's Quickcharge so it can put out any of the listed ratings. Either a 3amp or 5amp fuse will be good.

 

It’s currently being shipped so maybe it’s labeled on the fuse. Also trying to find a good candidate for the add-a-fuse. There’s already a tap in the wiper fuse.

 

15W Max output.
5V * 2.4A = 12W
9V * 1.67A = 15W
12V * 1.3A = 15W

2, 3, 5 are probably all fine.

 

Had to look that one up. In that case, if second the 5a fuse.

 

Trying to find a good candidate for the add-a-fuse. There’s already a tap in the wiper fuse.

 

Will this work in accessory mode or when the vehicle is on?

 

Yes

 

Supplying 5v 2.4A will not draw 2.4A on the 12 volt side.

2 A will be fine taking into account some efficiency loss. Maximum power out is about 16 watts on the 12v rail. (12x1.3=15.6) P=IxE
Therefore input current at truck battery will be less than 2 amps (12x2=24 watts).

I do not see where the unit is rated at 36 watts in post 8 chart, unless it is very inefficient.
The chart in post 8 does not match the picture of the unit.

 

Got it all connected and running a 2amp. Appreciate the guidance.

 

outlet 2 will turn off when car is off, thats where i did my add a fuse for the same thing.

 

Since I have an SR5, I have a few empty spaces in my dash where the switches are for some of the TRD OR/Pro options.

Does anyone know if installing this in one of those spots would be feasible? Would I just blow a fuse every time I tried to use it if I was already using all the other charging ports in the truck?

My wife works from the passenger seat on long trips so the extra USB ports would be a game changer.

I’m just assuming you replaced the stock single USB charging port with this one…I apologize in advance if I’m asking a stupid question.
