Day Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Can't think of any device I charge up via USB that hasn't got it's own plug to put the USB in. I guess it free's up a plug socket but I've got plenty of extension leads anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the idea to be honest and I think it's the way to go as you don't have to fiddle about with mains plug type charging devices etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 It is the way forward, guessing all new house builds will be installing them, can't see myself rushing out to change the sockets around the house now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozza Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Shouldn't be difficult to retro-fit , tho Boycie will probably say different.. Your right but the concept is great for new builds. I was just thinking really you only need to change 1 double socket really for charging purposes. that's what we'd do , wouldn't need to do 'em all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 i would imagine so , 5amp , i thinkAlmost all USB ports use 5V. A typical USB charger is 900mA but I wasn't sure if having a direct connection into the mains affected this. Most PCs have 500mA USB ports whereas fast charging ports are up to 1500mA.

Converts to 5 volts 2Amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
