I tried searching for this but searching for "charger" brings up a ton of stuff that isn't what I want. What I'm looking for is something I can hook up to my battery and maybe route out of the seat so I can hook up my phone to charge while I'm riding. I don't want something that's not removable (like something I'd have to attach to the frame), but I need something so I can either hook up my car lighter charger or directly plug my USB cable into. Does anybody have any suggestions? I'm partial to something eligible for Amazon Prime myself, as I think I'll need this by Friday of this upcoming week.
If I understand the question correctly?

This accessory outlet below has 6ft of cable with it, you can cut it into two pieces, connect both cables to the battery, then you have an accessory socket and the Battery Tender type connector if you wanted for $6.92 (http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/detail/buy-box/prime._V382283387_.png) :dunno_black:
(you would have to add an inline fuse to the circuit I described)

And if you don't have one already...buy a Battery Tender Jr, that way you will get the harness with inline fuse that connects to the battery :icon_idea:

Suzuki Steve found a lot of options there. Look up USB to SAE adapter. That's what I have on my bike and it connects right into the same socket as my battery tender which I leave on my bike. Did it this way to minimize the number of connection under the seat. Those connectors do run about $20 or so though. They seem to be a relatively new addition to these type of connections hence the higher price.
Thanks a bunch guys! Looks like that battery tender cigarette adapter will work perfectly since I already have the tender wiring harness.
Now to just get a RAM mount so I can make longer trips and use my GPS without stopping!

This is the one I add to all my bikes, it doesn't take much imagination to make it work in a number of places on any bike, worst case you might have to drill a hole?
(Much cleaner install than the handlebar mount)

I ride a bunch and I'd rather not have any thing weird exposed to the weather all the time. What I did was put a relay inside of the head light, run to the battery so it only comes on with the key, and than I used an alternator ext off of a chevy s-10 cut it in half and used it as a connector that way I can leave my charger in my tank bad and dis connect it as needed. Some people put thirs on their bars or under their seat but that asking for a short or for water to collect in the outlet
If you have a bit of money there's a company called element case in America. They do amazing cases for iPhones (down to a 4) and they have a mounting option for their cases called a fuse dek. I have a sector 5 case on my iPhone and a fusedek on my gs and it works perfectly. It's quick release as we'll so you can move it over to your pushy or any rod type surface you heart may desire 😜

Similar to what Stevo posted, Amazon has a plug with the pig tail connector to usb/ cig adapter with a built in on/ off switch. Think it was under $20
