Review on High-Speed Motorcycle USB Charger Kit - MOTOPOWER MP0609A: SAE to USB Adapter for Charging Phone & GPS On-The-Go by Phil Prater

I'll get to the point, depending on where you put this unit you will have corrosion problems if you ride in rain or wet weather. If you stick it under the hood you have a better chance of it lasting longer than I do. I just forgot to put the cover on for 1 day and it rained for 20 minutes but the water stayed in the socket and corroded the contacts. The lid does a good job but still isn't good enough as it corroded before it was exposed to the rain probably due to humidity and wet driving (dual sport). connected. Instead of a switch, you have to turn it off with the included connection cable. It also adds bulk and issues if you put this under the hood either way. You must also remember to do this every time my DRZ battery has been drained for about 5 days in the summer. is located in the front hood of most common motorcycles. I would recommend placing it in the middle of the bike or next to the battery under the hood with easy access to quick disconnects that end up being exposed to the elements unless you reconnect or hide them well enough. To make a long story short - this charging connector fell into disrepair pretty quickly and I will never buy this brand again.
