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...

Second, you need to invest in a good USB current meter and prove yourself wrong. I have a 1A charger (measured) and can easily rail it out running a constant on GPS on my 6, which is exactly why I'm now running dual 2.1 outputs. So do a little homework and quit knocking others toys unless you can back it up.SCVJeff wrote:
Dont worry about his comment, he not only hasn't a clue what he's talking about, but his comments about consumption has absolutely nothing to do with charging current requirements of ANY device.
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.
