Evolving USB power
I've no devices which can draw more than 1 Amp through a USB port, never the less my several outlets can handle 2.1a or 3.1a total. My favorite USB source is my Blue Seas: https://www.bluesea.co...

Uhh, yes. If the phone uses more current than the charger provides it will drain your battery. So if you're lighting up the screen, forcing that CPU to work hard and plug into a 500ma charger you will drain your battery. Plug it into something that provides more than the phone uses and it will charge.
I can say that my GS5 would drain plugged into the Ford's Sync socket (IITC its 1A) while navigating. My iPhone plugged into the same socket will slowly charge while navigating.
