Touchdown! Greaser!
While ferrying my TR182 home from Phoenix, we found that my 12V adapter (which has a dual USB slot with a 2.1A and 1A slot) cycled on/off/on/off every 1.5 seconds, as evidenced by both the blue light in the face of the adapter, and the lightning bolt charging indication on my iPad. The adapter is rated for 12-24V input (I have a 24V electrical system). The guy who was with me also had an adapter, and his worked fine.
I also have two USB-charging bricks, as backups to all else.
There are some in-panel options now too, but pricey.
I'm wondering what devices you all use in cockpit for charging / powering your portable electronics, that have proven compatible with the aircraft's systems? Anybody using an inverter? I could do that, and just keep the charging bricks plugged in and charging on 110V (theoretically, haven't tried it).
