    2018 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Santorini Black

    USB charging rate

    Hi
    Just wondering if anyone knows what is the output wattage of those USB charging ports? It seems it is not mentioned in the manual. Trying to buy a wireless charging vent mount. But it may be waste of money if I buy a 20w one but the port can only achieve 10w. Rolling Eyes

    They are Slow in my d5, but mine is a 2017 so maybe they have increased the power in newer vehicles.

    I initially bought this USB detector for checking the kids consoles.

    (Purchased a USB fan, for cooling purposes, but similar issue with regards to the output, as was not working properly).

    Handy piece of kit, as it also diagnosed a faulty USB on my laptop, when the company said it was fine.

    Will take a look tomorrow if I have time and post up a few photos. I assume it's the USB under the central console you want checked out?

    Rears have 5 volt written on the panel. Front USB sockets in cubby box also kicking out just over 5 volts.

    voltage is generally constant but I experience a lack of fast charging if two capable devices are attached to the same bank, e.g., both in center console - only one will fast charge, so the current is being managed by something somewhere.

    thank you for the help Road Runner 2017. Would you be able to test the Amperage as well by charging phones via the kit?

    5v is not surprising, but if it only has 1A, that is so sad....

    Charging my Sony Xperia 1, via the centre console.
    0.79 amps.



    Same result for the rear USB connection.



    Incase anyone is curious, also did a comparison for the front cigarette lighter and the one in the centre console. I used 2 different gadgets, to see if the results were accurate, which coincidentally gave the exact same reading, so I can safely assume its spot on.







    Top 3 photos are the front cig lighter. There is about a 0.5 Volt drop, as is expected, when I connected my phone, as can be seen in the last photo. Used the original Sony cable, not an inferior 3rd party one, incase anybody wonders.


    Centre console, minus phone connection, with only 0.1 Volt difference compared to the front one.
    I assume it would read 14.1 V, or thereabouts, if the phone was connected.
