A lot of those built into outlets only have a 1A charge rate so they aren't strong enough to charge many smart phones.

Heard this story before. Our Iphone 6 came from Apple with 0.5A charger.

My Apple Iphone chargers are 1.0 amp or 5 watt.:h

yep, better look at it again. IF it's really 1/2A, someone played switcheroo

I got a two pack of 120V/USB (Sam's Club #454285) replacement outlets. Says 2.4 amp USB. They were a bear to install because they are deep and the RV outside wall was not very thick. Work great and charge real fast.

I know of no AC (120 volt) USB that is a Quick Box

The op secifically said he wanted "The kind that is used in RV's" that is a quick box

By the way.. If I gave you my opinion of those Quick Box outlets Damon put all over my RV you'd be needing a new monitor cause the one you have now.. would melt.. Just like one of my Quick Box outlets did.

Professional Review of above USB meter:

This meter has proven helpful in my understanding of why some outlets charge various USB devices faster than others, and that the quality of the USB cord, and its length can make a huge difference.

This linked meter can test voltage at the end of a micro USB cable, and the voltage drop can be significant.

Well I got mine.. I didnt read your 3rd party test post till a few mins ago, so it sounds like getting the one without the cord was a better thing. Seems to work well, but either this one or the one I posted arent linear as I can change the load and the -.02 display difference between them changes, but that might be cable losses in my original. I also bought a switchable 1 & 2amp test load for $1.37 DELIVERED TO THE DOOR from China. I'll be checking the accuracy on the resistors just to make sure.

I'm warming up to the memory functions but it would sure be nice to have a sheet of the various button combinations. I just saw this morning that I can switch it to watts, as well as see a powered on timer. Not bad for $6, and I'm certinaly not whining about +-.01v difference between two $5 meters

2 meter and 70 cm for now, it's a start, need more testing and a Generals before I start goofing off with some DX'ing. The HOA keeps me in check with antennas not growing all over the place.

And youre buying radios too!

Gee thanks.... There's another $10 I need to spend.. You're correct about chargers and cords. I'm finding out why some things charge, others done, and the differences in wall worts. It's amazing the charge differences in various devices

LOL Jeff, I'm in the same boat as you. Another $10, where will it end? Maybe back to tent camping days and simplicity? Not gonna happen here.

It is just 3.2 amp or max 2.1 per port.
