USB for echo dot

[Clint]

Has anyone used one of these with lighter charger , instead of connecting via mains for a motor home.Struggling to find one even off Amazon Thanks all

 

[RM_Marine]

Not for a echo dot but I use one for my Internet router

Which version of Echo Dot do you have as the different version use different voltages

 

[Clint]

3rd generation thanks

I have one of these - step up cable [would 5v power an echo dot?]
Amazon product ASIN B07K9RR3PK
I see I bought it in 2019 - it continues to work faultlessley

This is the one I use for our Echo Dot 3rd Gen on our van.

Amazon product ASIN B07M5GKHXY
I got PaulandChrissy to 3D print a holder for Echo Dot and I fitted it under one of the overhead lockers.

Would it be the same piece of kit for an echo dot 4th gen?

The 4th generation are thicker so need a different bracket and a different cable.

Not sure, but do a Google search for an echo dot 4th gen psu and then look at the specs for the output voltage of the psu.

The echo dot 4th gen is ball-shaped, we use a echo dot 4th gen at home, the one in your photo is a 2nd gen.

I find those USB adapters for the Echo Dots pretty rubbish and the reviews are not good either.
Initially I just used little 12V regulators I wired up myself to the original cables which I just chopped the Plug/Transformers off to make sure I didn't drive them at too high a voltage, but now I have the whole of the hab electrics regulated to 12.2V, I just power the Dots (3rd Gen I think?) direct from the Hab DC electrics.
FWIW, I use brackets bought from Amazon to mount them under the overhead cupboards.

I tried a few usb leads to the Dot but failed when volume turned up so not quite enough current.

I have wired my echo dot to a W4, 2 pin 12v plug as we had a socket in Monty. Then made up a lead by adding a plug on that Dot side.

Using the same as above 5v to 12v echo plug
