Is there a way to keep the USB port powered?
 
Is there an easy way to keep the USB port powered with the key off?

I think a battery bank will help you out more, less of a risk of your battery dying out when your charging a phone. Unless you need something specific for that port.

Actually that's an awesome idea! (Put a little power bank between the fuse box and the usb port)... GENIUS!

I don't actually think that is a good idea...

soundman98 07-06-2020 12:20 AM

Why not? It wouldn't work any differently than having one plugged in eternally. Except it would be nicely hidden. The port could charge too a full cell or two even with the car off.

If you kill a car battery by charging a phone you have some serious issues with the system.
