I have this four port USB hub coming into my glove box to recharge the batteries for our heated vests. It doesn’t seem to work very well or sometimes at all. I bought this on Amazon and my question is this; is this USB port compatible with a 12 V auto system? If not, where can I get one that is that will charge my batteries?
USB port question
-
USB can carry various amperages.
Most heated vest batteries will want 2.1 amp each to charge.
I believe the usb port on the SLings Glovebox is only 800 milliamp. Spreading that over that many devices ( 4 vests) would take days if not weeks.
You want to use a 12 volt to USB charger ( most of them will only do 2 at a time do to current)

Perhaps this? As it has pigtails, that I can run to my fuse block.

Yeeep. as simple as this.. https://www.amazon.com/YIPIN-H…mZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
You can always wire this into the fuse block if you want.

That will work...

I’m gonna go with this one as it is a 10 amp charger. This one’s a little more expensive, but I can charge four batteries and two phones with this one simultaneously.

My question is what plug is on the heated vest and why are you trying to use a USB port to charge them.

I am using the USB port to charge the extra batteries when depleted. We have a spare set so when one set is depleted we throw them on the charger. We love the vests as they will last almost 2 hours with a full charge on the battery.
