Generic chargers cause real problems

Generic plug-in USB chargers are not designed for continuous operation and not designed for aircraft. They typically generate significant electrical interference that degrades radio communications, affecting audio quality and squelch behaviour, and can reduce GPS and radio navigation sensitivity.

Poor voltage regulation in cheap chargers can also damage connected devices.

Designed around aviation requirements

Our chargers are fully regulated with a stable output regardless of fluctuations in the aircraft’s electrical system. They’re built for continuous operation, not occasional use, and interference is treated as a design constraint rather than an afterthought.

The same design principles were applied in our Charge2 and Charge4 units, which have been in cockpits since 2014.

Navigation devices

iPads, tablets, and dedicated aviation GPS units running continuously in flight.

Electronic conspicuity

Portable EC devices such as PilotAware.

Phones and comms

Modern phones and aviation apps need reliable power without affecting radio.

USB-PD 3.2 v1.0

Including Programmable Power Supply (PPS) support compatible with modern fast-charging devices. Each port independently negotiates voltage and current with the connected device.

Independent port operation

Unlike many multi-port chargers, power remains uninterrupted on one port when a device is connected to or disconnected from another. Connecting a new device doesn’t affect what’s already running.
