There are many devices that depend on USB port for power delivery. You might want to run them simultaneously but having multiple power supplies is a clutter and not practical especially in a portable setup. This interesting board could potentially solve your power problem. It can power up to six USB devices with a single DC power supply.
This buck converter board accepts anything between 9V to 30V DC input from 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel jack and have the output splitted to 6 regular USB ports. The wide range input voltage allows you to connect to various DC power source such as solar panels, led acid battery or vehicle power plug. It is also possible to solder the input voltage directly to the positive and negative terminals on the board. The board is capable of a maximum 12A output current, depending on input current.
To top it all off, the board is enclosed in a nice, transparent acrylic case.
We use this device when we want to run multipe Raspberry Pis or Arduinos and sometimes to charge our phones and tablets with a single wall socket.
You need a good 9V-30V power supply which is not included. You may get it from our store.
