Hi Jim,

        It is  always good to have the link to a device that another bus person has found worked well and held up.  Also one that fits where you want it.

        I often chuckle at the translated directions in items from other countries, but, I don’t kid myself.  How would my attempt to write in that language come out?

And, having read instructions from American made products, sometimes the directions that arrive are more confusing then the ones that come from non English speaking places.

        So, keep the tips and recommendations coming. 

Best,

Eric Caron

I could care less how well the Chinese national that listed it translates the description to English. I have it. I like it. I particularly like that 1.) it allows charging multiple devices 2.) the voltmeter allows me too monitor the state of charge of my house battery 3.) it has a switch to turn it off so as not to drain the house battery in these Covid-19 times where my bus doesn’t get driven for weeks at a time and 4.) it fits in the gum wrapper receptacle hole.
