Common Concerns Answered
Will this charger power my laptop at full speed on a 12V system?
On 12V systems, the maximum output is 36W, which is suitable for many laptops and tablets. For the maximum 60W output, which is ideal for the most power-demanding laptops, a 24V system is required. This is a common characteristic of USB-C Power Delivery (PD) charging.
Can I install this charger in an exterior location on my boat?
No, this Scanstrut TILE charger is specifically designed for **interior use only**. Installation in exposed exterior locations will compromise the conformal coating and can lead to water damage and failure.
Is the price higher than other boat USB chargers?
While the initial investment may be higher than basic USB ports, the Scanstrut TILE offers significantly faster charging speeds (up to 60W), a premium 316 stainless steel bezel for superior aesthetics and durability, and conformal coated electronics specifically engineered for the marine environment, providing long-term value and performance.
