For those devices adding a 12volt outlet would be more efficient since they all take DC power for the most part. My JT has a standard plug back there but I have wanted to add a 12 volt there as well.
I’ve looked all through the back and can’t find any usb chargers back there. I was under the impression not all models have that. Is that true?
Exactly what I was looking for thanks. Where did you get the usb charger pod? ThanksUnder the batteries in the firewall, there is a place to pass through a fair size battery cable. It is easiest to access it through the fenderwell by partially or fully removing the passenger side liner. I ran a 4awg to under my back seat to use for many things like audio, charging, lighting, and whatever else comes up. For my charging circuits, for the kids. I added an 80 amp switched relay From stinger (amazon) and a Blue Sea fuse box. The switch signal comes from the aux panel wiring under the passenger side dash. ARB and other companies make the automotive sealed aux power pods, you can load with a number of DC chargers. I found some quick charge variants like the apple and samsung turbo chargers. They are not fancy and lighted but most things charge in 20 minites or less. Kids love them. Issue I have now is I need lighting. They cannot find them at night.
Have to look back at my email. I think it was a company called tree tech
Only issue is the ports in the JT are absolute garbage. They can't even put out 15 wats, let alone 18w pd on the USB-C ports. Can't do a laptop or fast charge a samsung, a nintendo switch would even have issues not running down the battery on these. Its a shame, but I tested every port and get almost the same low specs. For some reason the usb-a port in the console actually put out the most power in my testing.
Awesome write up and idea. Only part that would give me hesitation is kids spilling their drinks in the usb ports since it's right by the cupholder, but otherwise slick install!Under the batteries in the firewall, there is a place to pass through a fair size battery cable.

Yeah that was a thought but they are easy enough to replace. My kids take the whole house with them so I figured they would keep this space clear for their water bottles, which they seem to do. The priceier chargers are IP67 so far so good
