USB output power? Quad lock wireless charging head?

The bike's 12vdc connector for Parts and Accessories, located in front of the rear wheel and under the rear shock. It draws power from the RESS and not the 12vdc battery. It is capped until an owner decides to use it.

Thanks. I did see an addon port there wired up the to battery but it blocked the alarm speaker install. Maybe there is another. That one I removed cause It didn't want to screw with it. I assume it is for people that leave the bike sitting all winter.
If it is wired to the battery, it is probably an add-on battery tender plug. The P&A connector is higher, above the battery box.

I use the QL wireless charger with the USB-C port - works just fine
Based on comments about the Livewire USB-C, I had thought it was a fairly low power port. But, according to the HD Media Release for Livewire, the USB-C is 5vdc at 3A, or 15W.
The QuadLock USB-A port supposedly maxes at 18W. So adding the QuadLock USB-A provides more connection options, but not really more USB power.

Anyone using the QL mount with an iPhone MagSafe compatible one? How has that been working out? Does it still charge ok on the normal Apple charger?
On the Livewire are you mounting to the mirror mount or the handlebar, or some other place? I want to get something and debating between the QL and going another Ram mount like I've done in the past.

I have the wireless quad lock attached to the handlebar. I've had it for about 2 years now and it still works flawlessly
Phaedrus,
Any chance you can post a pic of your Quadlock? Given cell phones cost as much as computers, I've been seriously considering one for the motorcycle and mountain bike.
Thanks, if you have time.
I don't have any great pictures, since my camera is my phone and it is usually in the mount, but here is what I can find....

Thank you!
It does not need to be that high profile. I used the shock mount, which elevates the charging head a bit. The Livewire is smooth enough that you could go without the added vibration damping if you wanted.

I have the wireless module without the shock adapter. Been 2 years with the same iPhone, no issues after daily riding.
It depends on the phone. They list ones they have checked conpatibility with. But it works at a fast charge rate on my Samsung.
I'll use it with an iPhone mostly. I know they tend to charge a little slower than my Samsung. All I need is basically for it to maintain the charge when I ride or slowly charge. I didn't need any really fast charging as my phone will normally be 70-80% when I go ride.
