12V Plug In Chargers

[skippydiesel]

I seek your comment/recommendations on a 12V charger, that will supply a mini iPad (Lightning /  USB A ) and a hand held (mounted) GPS navigator (dedicated cigar style male plug).

 

The two devices are to be connected to "ship" power from TO - Landing (anything from 1 - 4 hrs at a time)

 

I have a single 12V female "cigar"  plug available.

 

I would like a single adapter to supply both from the above female

 

The adapter shown, seems to have all the right features (Amazon, currently unavailable) https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/UGREEN-Charger-Cigarette-Charging-Compatible/dp/B086DHWB8Z - what think you?

 

If possible, I would like a system that "shuts down" or reduces amps , when iPad has a full charge and /or the adapter reaches a high (?) temperature . The GPS male plug already has this.

Charger with CO detector

 

It ain’t cheap, but it has a unique feature.

Very nice Freizeitpilot BUT need the cigar/cigarette lighter female plug for GPS.

 

Already have two CO detectors in the aircraft - one on all the time (has the ability to record max ppm) and one I keep forgetting to charge up.😈

 

Found the above charger, instock, for $23  from i-Tech,  https://www.i-tech.com.au/acbugn60712-ugreen-60712-84w-dual-port-car-charger-space-416314.html

depends how RF noisy it ends up being....

I've used this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Garmin-Charger-iPhone-Smartphones-Tablets-Black/dp/B00EKFH2VG

It seemed pretty clean, dont remember interference from it, as bloke above alludes many are noisey as feck

I use a Charge4 unit wired direct to 12v now

The RF noise thing is real however on my last aircraft I had at least three diffrent automotive plugs going and never had any interference. - just luck I guess.

Did just that - nothing that had a male/female cigar lighter & USB as per the UGREEN 60712 above.

 

Have purchased the UGREEN 60712 ($23 + delivery)- yet to test/try.
