Sailing with mobile devices... issues to consider

[pinguino]

As I told you past week I would give some info about how the QC.3 quick charge  I bought from Aliexpress works to give power for the rugged phone I use as an OPlotter outdoor display.
As you know, the phone has a really big battery and therefore to keep it full charged requires a certain level of power, especially if at the same time we are pushing it to the limit and with full brightness.

After drilling and installing it, you could see that it looks good and quite pretty. The quality of the product made of metal -aviation aluminum- looks good.



I was using it in navigation all day and I could check that it has enough power to keep everything running and even to push the battery to 100% of charge with the screen at full brightness and all the applications working hard. I am quite happy with the result.

Now I can enjoy all the advantages of OPlotter -opencpn, remote desktop, NMEA0183 data over wifi, Signal K data etc.- without any limit off power. I'm glad.
