General Discussion / Recommended Power supply?
« on: February 03, 2018, 07:19:01 am »
I have tried searching but not had much success (probably asking the wrong question) sooooo.....
I power all my USB devices (PAW and 2 tablets) in the aircraft from an Anker Powerdrive 5 as originally recommended for PAW. I chopped the plug off and wired it into a dedicated circuit breaker in the RV. Works brilliantly.
I have a number of chums who also use these successfully, often as a 'fix' for PAW reliability (brown-out) issues.
All hunky dory so far.
Trouble is I now have a new plane to plumb another PAW into and the Powerdrive 5 is no longer available. What is the new recommended alternative?
I would like one with a lead (I can cut off) as fag lighter connections are so unreliable, and I don't want to fit such a socket in the new plane.
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere and I haven't found it. If so please point me there.
