I’ve never checked. It’s just my work LV.
Haven’t even used it, phone lasts the day

I use these in the front factory 12 volt outlets
Choetech 2-Port USB Type C 40W Dual Car Charger

Genuine PD output. Couple with good quality USB C to lightning cables for iphone or USB C to USB C for iPad Pro.
You can't use cheap non PD rated cables.

That one of JWB's will do the job, but still has the clunky 'adaptor' look. I think, in the short term, I'm going to try one of these: frustratingly, their own e-commerce site does't list Aus a shipping address, but they are on a couple of Amazon sites that do. It's design is all but flush to the surface, which I much prefer. They have a couple of different options, colours etc.

Pulling out from the carpark heading home the other day, felt a relative strong "pop" from underneath the car and within 5 seconds had the orange triangle indication and the error message "normal height only available". Now, I always park with the car at access height and always lower as I roll into the bay, and always press the button to raise up as I drive away. Original Hitachi compressor that has been serviced, plus all valve blocks have had a kit through them as well. I suspect I've popped an air line somewhere, but height is holding, so It must be before the valve blocks. Will be pulling the compressor out today for a look see. Oh the joys...

Update, just pulled the compressor and found this. At least I know the compressor is strong...20220521_100942.jpg

USB power delivery is such a moving feast. I have ordered one of these:

HEYMIX USB C Car Charger, 115W Type C Car Charger, PD PPS Fast Car Chargering Adapter 65W 45W 30W 20W Car Phone Charger Adapter Compatible with Samsung S21 S20 Note 20 Ultra, Pad, Dell, with 60W USB C Cable : Amazon.com.au: Electronics

I like that it is not flush - ugly but maybe better heat dissipation. More importantly it supports PPS which is variable negotiated voltage charging for the new devices. Will see how it goes!

That’s awesome. I could charge my MacBook from that!

Certainly looks powerful - any views on whether that'll run a bit hot on the standard wiring to the cigarette socket? (Basically, I'd be more worried about the wire than the 'head unit'...)

Fuse is 10amp IIRC so happy with 120w
