Type of review

Excellent quality although plastic. USB connections are solid, there is no chance of accidentally leaving. The terminals on the back are positive and the right size. My only complaint that made me switch is the lack of fast charging on my Note 9. When using Google Maps and streaming music, the charger keeps up with the power consumption. So it will charge but the phone will not fully charge. It's okay, but I disassembled my car's dashboard to fix something else, so I decided to replace it withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • I'm worried

Works great, but fast charging is not available on all devices

The Blue Sea USB socket is easy to install, durable and corrosion resistant. It is designed to be mounted on a floor panel, not on a weather-exposed console. The rubber flap seals and keeps out splashes but I wouldn't trust it in very wet conditions and if it's not closed properly any amount of seawater will ruin it. Fast charging is automatically enabled for the devices that are configured to start. It charges my iPhone from zero to 100% in just over an hour and my iPad in about 2 hours. Other

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

A small black piece has broken off

I bought two of these. Initially they worked great during our camping trips in my trailer. During our last hike, both ports stopped working on one. The weird thing is that the two charging cables also stopped working after being plugged into both of these ports - I couldn't physically connect them to another charger. When I got home I took a closer look and found that both charging cables stopped working because a small piece of plastic from the USB charging port had broken off both ports andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Nothing

Just received, so far a design flaw

So I got a 12v socket, got it today. This is an add on for the rear of my SUV and I want everything to look as factory as possible. So my only complaint at this point is that I immediately noticed that the included bezel, which can use two screws for extra grip, wasn't done right. It has two screw holes and a socket insert to provide secure and convenient anchoring. The panel I received has screw holes drilled on the wrong side of the panel. One side has a screw insert and the opposite side has

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • So so

Defective from the start

I converted a panel van into a motorhome and bought it because of the conveniently located charging port. My panel is a bit complex with fuses, switches, common ground etc. Everything in the van worked great except for this charge connector. I tried all sorts of ways to make sure I had the correct wiring but couldn't find any errors, but I assumed it must be due to the complexity. Eventually I gave up trying to fix the problem and used the van for two years with no regard for this particularโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Great piece Best in Accessories

The effectiveness of this item is undeniable. It's pretty capable. I wanted to use this to plug a USB power adapter into my '98 Toyota 4Runner instead of an unused cigarette lighter. Unfortunately, while I read an article that outlined this process, many of the changes required to make this process work were overlooked. The first such problem was that the diameter of the socket is slightly larger than the hole that is left after removing the lighter. and housing (see picture). So I had to grind

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • too dumb
