Rajagra, still have picture of the USB dongle you bought ?

[Lola]

I know you posted a picture of it but I can't find it. Would really like to see it again and hear what you think of it.

What sort of thing was it?
USB car charger? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/B00XTXMAE4

I was very happy with that, it never let me down. It's unplugged at the moment because I switched to a Vico Power Plus, but I keep it handy in case I need it.
The 12V to 5V (2xUSB) convertor I have hooked up to the Power Plus now is this one:

That has been working fine. Can't really say much other than it has been working perfectly for more than 6 hours at a time without catching fire!

Or was it the USB Charger Doctor? That was pretty good, mainly for testing how a camera performs when connected to a power bank for a long time.
Or something else?

It was a USB dongle I think they are called.

Dongle can refer to any small plug-in device, often on a lead.
A search shows I referred to this as a dongle, don't think I posted a pic though:

No, this was a few inches long, like a USB stick.

Check this out first, they made a mistake. https://www.amazon.com/gp/B0016HM7SE

 

[Rajagra]

heh, that works out cheaper than the short roll I bought!
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/B0055RD2PSBut that could be down to normal UK rip-off prices.

Only thing I can think of right now is that USB Charger Doctor

Has been a long day, maybe something else will come to mind tomorrow.

Rajagra it's probably me, thinking of an object that someone else showed a picture of, LOL. It was like your charger doctor but with the ability to go into different USB sizes.

what function did it have?

Hi Jokiin, at the time I just thought that it was interesting. It's function was the ability to be used in different USB sizes, I really don't know a lot about these things but thought it would be nice to have something like it in case I wanted to connect a USB cable and needed a different size USB fitting like a micro fitting (hope I'm using the right terminology.

However the main reason was to tell him about the 5952 deal mix up on Amazon with the pricing of the 5952, awesome deal. However later I remembered that Rajagra was from the UK so it probably didn't do him any good, so I posted about it on another forum so the guys would hopefully get a buy in before the mistake was noticed.

It has been a long day for me also.
After I went to their site and read about the USB charger Doctor, that was what you had posted about. Where I got the ability for different size USB connectors is anybodies guess, including mine!

There may be versions with multiple plug/socket sizes, but not the one I have.
I seem to recall some have two outputs - one that is measured, the other is unmonitored pass-through, but I think with normal sized USB.
