Hmmm.

What are you feeding it off of? It looks like a charger that would bet installed in a car/rv 12V outlet (known in a former life as "the cigarette lighter").

It’s actually a panel mount usb cable. Plugged into an iPhone charger. 

You can find the cables on Amazon and eBay.

Charging Port

The local corner store has been giving me grief about charging port, Pinot, Merlot and other wines.  They keep pointing at the sign on the wall that says “In God we trust, all others pay cash.”

Good Idea Peter!
