Hi guys
I'm going on a trip for a few weeks in mountains, and I need charger for my tablet and phone.
That's why I decided to fit my ET with USB charger.
Maybe some of You will find this info useful.

I've bought:
- WUPP USB car charger (5V, 3A max). I have checked motorcycle chargers and didn't like the quality. This one is "one piece" and I like it.
- fuse holder + 2A fuse (as it's 12V, 2A is enough for 5V-3A line)
- switch

I have used 3M double side automotive scotch and glue gun to fit all the stuff.

Charger does it's job well. You may exclude switch, but I decided to install it just in case.
UPD: Don't exclude switch, it's requirable in than kind of circuit.

Needs to have the switch. A USB adapter draws power all the time, not just when something is plugged in. Much better off to connect to a switched power source.
