I have the griffen dual plug shown above. We use it to charge htc phones and a nook at the same time. Do apple products pull that much more. We dont have any but i am looking at a new phone.

Only with the latest iPad should you worry. They had to double the battery size to keep the run time the same as the previous generation. This means that it either needs to take a long time to charge on low current (17 hours 0-100% via computer USB), medium time with medium current (9 hours with 1 amp charger), short time with high current (6 hours at 2 amp).Originally Posted by 98dango
The iPhone I believe will only use 1 amp max, so almost any current 12v socket converter will work for phones.

thank you kindly. For the information

Just so every one knows the main reason a lot of devices will charge in some 2+amp sockets and not others is that there needs to be a signal on the data pins. The two outside pins are + and - 5.0VDC. The center two pins handle data and a 150 ohm resistor across the data pins is all that is needed to tell most devices (gen 1 IPad verified) that they can use 2A. So in summary all that is needed is a 12V to 5V DC to DC step down buck converter a USB female socket and a 150 ohm resistor.

Just wanted to provide a report after having this installed for a bit and having used it many times. It has performed great with both the iPad and iPhone. It is nice to not have to have the adapter and use an available 12v outlet. Those can be used for other things. With the dedicated USB port, I find myself actually using it more.

I just wanted everyone to know that Socal Teardrops has the Blueseas USB dual socket with indicator in stock right now. It's not listed on their site, but give them a shout if you're looking. I just ordered two.
