USB port on 2020+ RTL.........

[Valkrocket]

Does anyone know the power output of the USB port in the glove box of the 2020+ RTL? The reason I'm asking is that I have mounted a GoPro camera and the max power input is 5V 1-2amp. Anything higher than that will fry the camera.
I would run it on it's battery power, but I don't want to keep changing batteries every 45 minutes.
Thanks for your input.

I believe if it's a USB port, then the power would have to be 5V. That would be part of what makes it a USB port.

The USB port can provide UP TO the maximum amperage of the design but your gopro will only draw the current it needs. I modified a USB cable to leech the 5v for my 5v XM radio with no issues.

A usb plug rated for more then 2 amps will not fry your camera. That is not how electricity works. What's important is the voltage, 5V. I assume the usb plug in your 2021 glove box is the BRP Connect plug. If so it is a maximum of 1 amp and may not be enough for your camera. Plug it in a find out.

Billy B, I only want the cord to keep the battery charged inside the camera while videoing (is that even a word?), not to run the camera itself. Thank you for your response.
