Charge Powerbank While Driving (2 Viewers)

If you use an XT60 plug into the port that will (allegedly) accept 300w why wouldn’t it accept 300 watts at 12 volt from a dc charge source?

Presumably because the internal circuitry and wiring has a 10A limit, so you only get 120W at 12V and need 30V to get 300W.

No I suspect the cigar type plug is fused at 10 amp which would be normal.

You never see a cigar type socket rated more than 120w

We're not talking about a cigar type plug here. This is an XT60, which is nominally rated at 60A. It's the input to the solar controller in the powerbank.

The other end of the supplied lead is a fag plug!

Im pretty sure theres a 10A limit built in. I have an anker solix and thought the lead Eddy shows was far too thin. I made one up and connect via the xt60 socket (and a switch and a fuse) to my lithium leisure battery. It charges at 120W. The original lead puts in 100W via the lighter socket.
