I've been using a 1 metre cigarette lighter socket connected to a fuse-tap to power the GC and the Mobius.
In order to combine them and shift the install to the glove box, I plan on using a Aukey 4 port USB 12V adaptor and cables from Amazon basics, which'll power both the cams and at times a third cam, leaving the orange quick charge port for mobile charging if needed. The mentioned setup works as intended with the current 1 metre version.
As the distance has increased in order to reach the glove box, I've purchased the 2 metre version from the same seller on special request, as he/she doesn't sell it as regular inventory in their online store. A 2 metre version online is sparse too.
1 metre version of the kit
Aukey USB charger
I've checked the wire gauge, amps, wire length and voltage drop calculators but am still confused if the following setup is electrically sound.
Wire length - 2 metres.
Wire gauge - 16 AWG - 1.5mm²
Amp draw - I'm guessing 1A max per camera and 1.5 -2A for the phone when connected to the QC port. Total - 5 to 6A max. (Each port on the charger can deliver 2.4A.)
Fuse intended to be used - 7.5A or 10A (again confused)
Please help..
