Ohhh I see!! Yes makes total sense to me that does :)

Ok, so does that usb thing charge the mobile at a fast rate or is it super slow?

Think ill have to grab one then. I was thinkingnof getting something soeley has, its called.a magic pro, and it connects to the baytery or fuse board and isolates the power to just that socket, it also turns off when it goes below a certain voltage on the car battery.

Mmmhhhh food for thought, but yes all that info about the ignition providing power to a lot of sytems is making perfect sense to me and why the battery was under a lot of load.

Massive appreciation guys!!

As said, those inverters will be taking a lot of power just to run them. Even if the phone is not connected or not charging, leaving one of those inverters in will quickly flatten a battery.

My little doodad will flat charge my galaxy in 3 hours on my wifi charge dock and plugged in will be about an hour and a half from flat give or take.

Andy, the Power Magic-pro is for the Dash Cam, not sure if it is any good for anything else. I would imagine the cam has a low power draw?

As said above, the inverter will run the battery down, you need to find something a little closer to the phone voltage to charge your phone, ie. like Lambert's gizmo.
Re checking battery condition - Soeley already fitted an ideal device and is good for phone charging - the QC30.
I have one also, replacing my cigarette lighter (it was never a power socket if it has a lighter in it) with a dual Hi output.

But if you have need for the inverter for PC etc dual batteries my not be a bad idea for you.
