Panel USB Power

Blue Sea USB teardown

I accidentally pulled open my blue sea USB panel mount and here are some pictures.

It seems to work well, but have not checked EMI/RFI.
 
The 100% charge times were within a few minutes of the solo test and they never even kicked the fan on from the power supply, highest draw was just over 10 amps as expected, average was around 4 amps.

Was the 10 amps measured as the input to the panel plug or the output to the phone/ipad devices?

I just bought an RV10 and am going to install 2 of these and am interested in CB sizing and wire sizing. 10 amps to the devices at 5v would be only about 3.5 amps at 14v provided to the jack, or about 4.1 amps if draining the battery at 12v.

Thanks for investigating this for all of us.
