But that&#8217;s not the case with this Timeusb DC battery socket outlet.<\/p>\n<p>I can see why it&#8217;s not exactly a budget friendly usb adapter. If you want a dependable way to charge and power electronics and 12 volt appliances, it&#8217;s really a fantastic option.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it works best with a good 12 or 24 volt power source. If you connect it to the starter battery in your car, make sure you don&#8217;t drain the battery with it.<\/p>\n<p>Car batteries don&#8217;t have a lot of storage, they are mostly made for a quick burst of energy, unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/thecampingnerd.com\/best-deep-cycle-rv-battery-reviews\/\">deep cycle batteries<\/a> that are made for lower power output but have a high storage capacity.<\/p>\n<p>If you turn on the engine while you&#8217;re using the Timeusb hub, you don&#8217;t have to worry about draining the battery.<\/p>\n<p>But if the car is turned off, make sure the battery doesn&#8217;t go below 12.1 volts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16064\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16064\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/thecampingnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/timeusb-12-volt-battery-dc-usb-hub-battery-socket-outlet-review-testing-rv-wall-mount-700x490.webp 700w,https:\/\/thecampingnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/timeusb-12-volt-battery-dc-usb-hub-battery-socket-outlet-review-testing-rv-wall-mount-768x538.webp 768w,https:\/\/thecampingnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/timeusb-12-volt-battery-dc-usb-hub-battery-socket-outlet-review-testing-rv-wall-mount.webp 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/thecampingnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/timeusb-12-volt-battery-dc-usb-hub-battery-socket-outlet-review-testing-rv-wall-mount-700x490.jpeg\" height=\"490\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecampingnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/timeusb-12-volt-battery-dc-usb-hub-battery-socket-outlet-review-testing-rv-wall-mount-700x490.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/thecampingnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/timeusb-12-volt-battery-dc-usb-hub-battery-socket-outlet-review-testing-rv-wall-mount-768x538.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/thecampingnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/timeusb-12-volt-battery-dc-usb-hub-battery-socket-outlet-review-testing-rv-wall-mount.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" class=\"wp-image-16064 size-medium sp-no-webp\" alt=\"timeusb 12 volt battery dc usb hub socket outlet connected to an rv battery\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16064\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Timeusb 12 volt battery DC USB hub mounted to the wall inside our RV.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t so sure about this 12 volt gadget when we first heard about it, but now I think it&#8217;s one of the coolest DC power adapters I&#8217;ve ever used.<\/p>\n<p>Normally we use the USB ports on <a href=\"https:\/\/thecampingnerd.com\/jackery-explorer-500-review\/\">portable power stations<\/a> to keep our electronics charged, but it&#8217;s not always convenient to have a large power station sitting right next to you.<\/p>\n<p>The Timeusb has a small profile and if you hide the cables, it&#8217;s almost like a regular outlet on a wall.<\/p>\n<p>You can have it permanently connected to your RV battery and never have to worry about not having enough ports to charge everyone&#8217;s phones.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend this to anyone, especially RVers and van lifers who camp off-grid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/thecampingnerd.com\/best-portable-solar-panels\/\">Best Portable Solar Panel Charger For RV Camper\/Boondocking<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Like<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>High Quality USB Ports<\/li>\n<li>12 Volt Cigarette Socket<\/li>\n<li>2 DC Ports<\/li>\n<li>Lots of USB Ports (Including USB-C)<\/li>\n<li>On\/Off Button with LED Light Indicator<\/li>\n<li>Voltage Meter<\/li>\n<li>Battery Level Meter<\/li>\n<li>Heavy Duty 15 Foot Extension Cable<\/li>\n<li>Extra 50 Amp Anderson Connector<\/li>\n<li>Easy to Understand Manual<\/li>\n<li>Lightweight<\/li>\n<li>Wall Mount<\/li>\n<li>Doesn&#8217;t Need An Inverter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Dislike<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Only 10 Amp Rated Cigarette Socket &#8211; Since the amp rating of the entire unit is so high, I would like to see a more heavy duty 12 volt outlet for powering bigger 12 volt appliances.
