If you already have a quick disconnect pigtail to hook up a battery tender, this is definitely the lazy man's way to add a USB outlet.

I bought one this summer and it works great for a GPS device or a phone.

Only $10.

Just thought I'd pass this along.

Easier (especially if you don't have an SAE pigtail) is a one or two channel USB plugin for the 12 V socket in the glovebox. Cheaper too.

I did that and popped my glove box fuse, even tho it was 15amp. I think I'm gonna replace that 12v socket with a new one.

I wasn't even running much off of it, charging my phone and plugged in a little GPS speedometer.

I have that usb adapter. Mine died after a while, but it was so cheap I bought another

 
I have two of them. I tried the glove box system and lost a fuse, plus the glove box door are easy to break. I just attached a "Y" to my heated gear cable and one side goes for heated gear while the other side has an adapter to plug in the USB or the battery tender. Then I have a short cable from there into my tank bag and I can charge anything in my tank bag. I truly love that little device.

 
I only bought 1 usb unit but I have the quick disconnect charger hookup on both bikes so I can use it on whichever i am riding.

 
I’ve used a flathead two outlet usb in the glovebox socket for years. No issues. I like the op’s item, though, as it looks like it’s interface with my warmnsafe cord if I ever needed it.

You got that one because it has your initials on the front! Looks pretty good - do you have a link and/or specifications?

The voltmeter could be useful if charging electronics with the bike not running. Could give you some warning when it is time to stop!

Edit: Found an Amazon link after I noticed the photo properties were from there...

2 x 2.1 amp outlets and waterproof.

Ross, I ordered two and will report back when they arrive.

Bought mine at MLMS.

Charges the Galaxy S8+ on longer rides. . . . and

Quick connects to my battery tender too. A 2-fer!
