slavinaway Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Anyone know of a cigarette USB adapter (28 volt) that will power my iPad using the receptacle currently powering my Garmin GPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetopflyer Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I just started using one from MyGoFlight.com and I'm quite happy with it so far. http://www.mygoflight.com/dualmicro12-28volt Cheers, treetopflyer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefall Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Most 12v usb adapters work fine with 24 volts (make sure of course) but ipads draw a lot of amps so you want to make sure its a higher amperage rated one. Its surprising how many of them don't even show what input voltages they require. I thought that was a requirement??? I'm using a random one I bought at london drugs but the one treetop posted above looks much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sven Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Check Aircraftspruce.ca under the iPad section. Ensure that it's capable of outputting at least 2.1A for iPad charging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpelton Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Be careful!! I had a generic one that was rated 5-32 volts input and it cooked my iPhone using it in the aircraft. I would absolutely spend the money on the one treetopflyer suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robottxt Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Every Chinese electronic store in Vancouver / Richmond sells 12-24v usb cigarette adapters for about $3 dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saifan Pilot Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 You want a device that's certified to work at least at 28V. I use the Garmin fast charger. It's certified to use in aircraft power and gives the 2.1Amp to fast charge ipad (or even two ipads). http://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/avpages/garmincharger11-12113.php?clickkey=47869 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windslapper Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I have been using this one for the last year works great from best buy. Dual head so I can charge iPad and gps reciever at the same time. Never an issue. Had a garmin and it worked well but not a dual and the ipad doesnt seem to like usb splitters http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/wagan-wagan-companion-go-dual-usb-adapter-with-fuse-protection-el2881-el2881/10301056.aspx?path=cd7593656c4407943fde3707c141b3d2en02 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
