Dual-port charger for 12–24 V vehicles
The Metra GB-PDQC01B replaces a standard cigarette lighter socket in RVs, trucks, boats or motorcycles. It supplies 36 W through a USB-C port and 18 W through a USB-A port, charging phones, tablets and other USB devices from both 12 V and 24 V systems. The all-aluminium housing resists corrosion and dissipates heat in harsh environments.
Two recessed mounting options
Install by swapping the existing 0.87" socket with no drilling, or cut a new 22 mm hole 1.50" deep for a custom location. An internal fuse and intelligent chip protect against overcurrent, overheating, over-voltage and short circuits during the installation and afterwards.
Sustained output with thermal stability
Under continuous load the aluminium body spreads heat so the charger maintains its rated 36 W and 18 W ports without throttling. The protection chip keeps voltages at 5 V, 9 V, 12 V or 24 V steady during long charging sessions, avoiding the drop-off seen in plastic-bodied units.
