power supply to usb

[metalmickey0]

Heading may sound odd but here goes.

I want to be able to charge my iphone from my 12v power supply that i use for my chargers. Does anyone know how? as dont want my phone to go flat when out.

Just modify an iphone car charger to add 12v input connectors, crop clips, banana plus or whatever you use, to 12v leisure, or PSU, etc. you could also get a 12v car socket, with croc clips/banana plugs on and just plug in your regular car iphone charger. There are lots of ways.

Or...
use an 4 way extension lead and plug it in 240v right next to the same plug you use for the power supply

politely guys where does it mention 240v in original post ?

i do of course stand to be corrected and eat humble pie

I like this idea as it can run from any 12v, might just get one and add some banana plugs. Then i can plug into my MuchMore distribution board.
Cheers guys

Just to add add to above I bought this ......



I cut the wires and the rejoined them using banana plugs (male and female), this way I can still use it in my car/van, it can be plugged into my power supply or dis board and I also have some crocodile clips with female banana plugs so I can hook it straight to a 12v

Can anyone using this confirm that their iPhone likes it? I tried this once and the iPhone said that the charging management system would not support this charging system. I assumed that the CC/CV charging logic is in the charger, and not in the 'phone. If that's the case, then using this system could fry the battery in the 'phone.

Like Fidspeed, I stand to be corrected and have the humble pie waiting in the microwave!
