Hi,
I’m looking for a USB power bank to install in our car. It will be charged with a 12V USB charger, which only runs when the car is on but is permanently attached. The devices however will also be attached permanently. That appears to be a problem, at least with the Anker PowerCore Elite 20000 I’ve bought: As long as the input gets power, devices are not charged (which is okay, I don’t need pass-through), but when the input power stops, it does NOT start to charge the attached devices. I have to pull and reconnect them.
I’m looking for a product which is able to automatically charge any attached devices once the input power stops.
Do you know of any?
In case you’re wondering about the use case: Basically we have a mounted tablet in the car which will be connected to the battery. I need the battery and not only a charger because although we only use the tablet when the car is on, it will connect to the home wifi when parked. On that wifi it will automatically sync media from our Plex server. Over wifi this can consume significant time and power. That’s why a battery would be very useful.
Thanks!
