I am looking to get a USB battery charger, probably a big pack.

These usually need atleast 1amp output, kind of like some big mobile phones and tablets these days, the chargers usually have an output of 1amp, some smaller and older phones are 0.5amp (500 milliamp).

Anyone know the output amperage on the USB ports in the armrest? Just wanted to check its going to be powerful enough to charge a battery pack, or even a phone quickly enough. I understand it will charge regardless even with a lower output, but just wanted to see if it will be fast enough.

 

I think it's fairly low as my phone charges very slowly so I bought a SCOSCHE USBC242M 12 Watt USB Car Charger for iPhone/iPad/iPod Lightning/Micro - Retail Packaging - Black at Amazon and plug it into the power point in the center console and my phone charges 5x faster.

 

Yep, I did the same as XJsss, because the standard USB port charges my phone so slllooooowwwwllllyyyyyyyyyy

 

thanks folks
