Usb charger

[Redredron]

  Hi all. New to this forum and newish to the CT so forgive my ignorance. Has anyone installed a cockpit mounted USB charger? I want to access a switched live or unused connector already in the loom. Hope this makes sense
Any help?

This is what i've done.
The 12V is gone and is replaced with a voltage display. These are switched and under the buddyseat i have a 12V plus USB directly on the battery but the USB has it's own switch to prevent draining of the battery.

Ray thank you. That looks a real neat job 👌

Who ever had the bike before me had fitted fog lights using the accessory lead.
This lead provides switched power which made the wiring of a sat nav simple.
I used the same feed to connect my USB socket as it will be used to keep my phone charged while touring.
The USB I used has a battery voltage monitor on it, so for this reason, I tucked it out of the way so it wouldn't be a distraction.

I installed a neat unit from eBay with a 12V socket and two USB ports on to the Sat Nav Bracket, wired direct to battery. I plug my GoPro into the USB supply as the battery runs out after a couple of hours.
