Brilliant piece of kit. Useful to use with DIN socket and with waterproof sockets it is easy to leave plugged in. Has a power LED, and just does the job. I have long USB charging cables for GPS or phone, so both get connected and kept tip top.

The actual USB charger seems okay, a bit bigger than I was expecting, what pissed me off was the the fact that both the micro usb cables included were for Apple products. Now I do not own nor ever wish to own anything by Apple, their over-priced tut is something I avoid. I didn't wish for 1 cable let alone 2. Some of us aren't iSheep and can think for ourselves!

Two neat little items; the DIN plug fits just below the seat, directly under the socket for my heated jacket... lovely I've fitted the throttle rocker and it works, but I need to practice with it some more - another excuse for a long ride ;)

Works just as it's supposed to, including turning off when the voltage drops a little on the bike. Haven't been able to test the waterproof part of it yet but other reviews say it's spot on.

Provides versatility from standard 12v feed into a double USB compact waterproof adapter without need to change wiring. Does what it says on the tin. Great.

I bought this din / USB adapter to be able to power my TomTom rider sat nav which it does perfectly. Plus it also has a second USB outlet should I need to charge my headset. Brilliant!

Works Perfectly G Slater on Sep 03, 2018

Very little to say about this product other than it is 'plug and play' and works perfectly. Haven't tested it in the rain yet but there is a rubber seal around the USB sockets so it should be ok. It powers a Bluetooth adapter for my SatNav and my GoPro Camera together without any issues. Very easy to remove when away from the bike. Usual great service from Nippy Normans.

Misleading advert Rob Marshall on Apr 29, 2018

Rating: 3

Advert is misleading as it is marketed for BMW and says it will charge while you are off the bike and won’t discharge your battery. Sounds great, However all modern BMW with CanBus will turn off the power socket when the ignition is off. Only any use while driving. NIPPY NORMANS SAY Don't understand this one. No one wants a live connection when the bike is switched off - it would flatten the battery

This USB outlet works perfectly with the rear outlet on my bike, it's stealthy and provides power to my Innovv K1 dual camera system in a seamles and practical way. The product is good quality, sturdy and waterproof. The blue LED light indicating it's powered is handy. I had it delivered to my friend's address north of London, England and it arrived within a few days. Absolute happy with everything!

Optimate 90 degree DIN Plug USB Charger Mark E on Jul 29, 2017

Rating: 4

I bought this Optimate USB charger as I don't have any other way to charge electronics whilst on my bike, and I must say it's been a fantastic bit of kit. I use a 23000Ma/h battery pack, and use the Optimate to charge the battery pack while i'm on the move. Also use it for emergency charging for my Intercom, phone or GoPro. IT has been exceptional, and is small enough to be completely unobtrusive. I had planned to install power under the seat, but i'm not going to bother now, i'll stick with this. It was a little expensive, and £25, but once I had it and it kept me, and others in my group, charged up, i'd happily recommend it.

The DIN plug had two USB outlets but the rubber waterproof seal around one of the USB outlets did not fit the cut out. It took me about 20 minutes with a tiny screw driver trying to make it fit.

Nicely made and exuding a feel of quality. Unlike my previous one this can be used wet weather as the USB slot and the plug head itself have soft gaskets built into them to give a good seal. If you need something even more water proof then you need to hard wire into your bike's electrics

It's a well designed product which plugs into a 12v socket to provide 2 USB charging ports (waterproof or so claimed). At £25 including delivery, it isn't cheap but it is Optimate branded and the quality of their products is generally good.
