Installed this little unit with USB chargers *Try posting a bit more so your post isn't boring*, cig lighter outlet and volt meter this arvo. Not a big job by any stretch but very handy instead of charging phone etc in car.
On/off switch turns off all three sections together and power is run from the Setec unit on number 4 fuse.
It's nicely out of the way with the charge lead being long enough up behind the table rail, and I can easily flick on/off switch with my big toe when needed!:)

Thanks for remarks, bought off ebay for $22.22 from seller 'Bestoou' if you search
'12V Dual Car Cigarette Lighter Socket USB Adapter Charger Digital Voltmeter' it will come up!
There is cheaper ones on there but this one is posted from oz so it gets to you a lot quicker.

Quick disclaimer, this units works good for us, but I'm am not endorsing this product

See it all the time on other places and I've done it myself, but do we have to put a disclaimer as really blind freddie can see it's info and not some sort of for sale add..........just annoys me this nanny state crap........................not having a go at you @Maxisverymad just reminded me thats all........rant over back to topic.

Yes drover I agree, just that eBay can be very hit and miss. It's not my preferred way of shopping, but we live quite a way from our regional centre so it can be very handy!

And I agree.

I hate shopping so much I'm happy to wait for delivery.

Maybe I should move to WA....wait awhile.

With eBay it's a hit and miss approach and safer to read all the specs. I stuffed up a few times and accidentally ordered 6 12v switches a few weeks ago.

I got 60 delivered...and another 20 delivered last week.

No idea what happened but I'm now awash with 12v switches.

Sell them on Ebay:sorry:

My father-in-law does that so I quite often get some good stuff when we go over there as he has ordered too many of something. ;)

Can be hit and miss but with a bit of research all can be good, heck I've bought heaps off Ebay and can't recall a dud but have had a few duds from local shops, so who can tell.............. but I do like that unit you got.
My best buy was 5mt rolls of Led strip lights, have been running well for over a year now and at $10 per roll, I'm happy.
Just don't buy China, the gear can be hit and miss and takes a month.....................oopps moved off topic again, sorry........

Hey Drover.

Want to swap some 12v switches for some LEDs?

We could waste fuel and postage costs for something we really don't want.

Lol, I could do with some switches but ended up using all my led strips on outside of van and cutting up for cupboard lighting and in back of the Ute but wait I'll be home soon and will be going shopping...........................
