    Got a new phone, requires 45watt charge. The center console usb-c port won't charge it. Not trickle charge, but won't even register it. I saw it's a 3amp port. I think I need a 5amp USB-C port. I know there are work arounds and stuff, but has anyone found a 5amp/45watt usb-c port out there to swap them?

    Buy a $20 charging block from BestBuy ... use it to top off the cell phone and recharge the block at night. The block is small/light to travel with you as needed.

    Also a
    $100 NOCO GB40 1000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter, 12V Jump Starter Battery Pack, Battery Booster, Jump Box, Portable Charger and Jumper Cables for 6.0L Gasoline and 3.0L Diesel Engines
    NOCO GB40 battery boost block allows charging (need a USB-C to USB-A adapter which is cheap). GB40 supposedly jumps a battery 6 times per charge so should charge your phone in the day.

    OR ...

    Buy a 12V plug that has a 5 A port ... easy install into the stronger power source.

    OR ...

    Become an electrician and wire a new/stronger port into your truck.

    I have a battery pack from Amazon that works well USB-C to iThe phone can get 8-10 full charges quickly and still charge 3 drone batteries before recharging it.

    Wow, that’s crazy. I have the opposite problem. When I plug in my phone, it overheats and stops charging.
