Panel mounted USB chargers (merged)

You should market these to the homebuilder market, Hardwood. They can install them legally, and they have potentially the same issues with radio interference as (arguably worse issues than) certified aircraft owners.

Thanks, It’s fair to say that the majority have gone into that area, a few with EASA aircraft have used the cigarette lighter variant so mount with velcro or the like. The original problem which started the whole process was in an EASA aircraft.

I hope to have a demo unit at a local airfield in the not too distant future. So if anyone flies in they can sign out a unit whilst they are there to try it out with their devices in their aircraft (if they have a cigarette lighter socket). Details of that will go onto the website once I get round to sorting it all out.

Just ordered one!

Will see how it pans out on my 28v system

Curiosity has the better of me, how have you got on with the Charge2?

Exactly what I need. I was going to order the Charge2 panel mount, but they all seems to be sold out, and the “add to basket” is grayed out.

Yes, apologies, awaiting delivery of parts.

That said, I have made a couple available, as they were just awaiting enclosures and they turned up yesterday.

{edit} You can only order items which are in stock, which is why the ‘add to basket’ deactivates.

Found this on another forum and thought I’d mention it here. No indication of FAA or EASA certification, though, or I should have missed it, so mainly of interest for Annex II operators.

At least the cigarette lighter socket version doesn’t need any certification.

However, I don’t see the point, I’ve tried a few cheap ones but I never had an RF problem, only mechanical ones (one didn’t fit, and a very compact one was hard to get out of the socket, I needed a screwdriver)
