USB charging station:




These are really handy for Field Day. They've got five 1-amp and two 2-amp USB-A ports for charging, and come
with an AC wall pack for power. But the wall pack just produces 12vdc, so it's easy to make a powerpole cable
to hook to battery power. This is a power-only bar, it has no computer uplink connection. The housing is
solid aluminum, and it even comes with (removable) mounting plates if you want to bolt it down to something,
making it nice and rugged for Field Day. It also has a bright power light when turned on with the rugged power
button on the end.

Since USB-A is going out of style, these are showing up on eBay new-in-box for around $25, just search eBay for
"StarTech 7-Port USB Charging Station" and see what's available. They list for around $70, so don't pay that.
You'll want to keep a few adapter cables on-hand since phones will need USB-micro, USB-C, or lightning to charge.
