iCharger USB PD: Enable Fast Power
iCharger USB PD lets your charger power a phone, tablet, or action camera at the track.
By default, iCharger keeps the USB port off to stay focused on charge control. However, you can switch on Power Delivery in about 10 seconds.
As a result, you stop hunting for wall outlets in the pits. Instead, you turn your charger into a handy, high-speed power source.
Why enable USB Power Delivery
First, fast USB power helps during long practice days. Moreover, it keeps your lap timer, tablet, or GoPro ready between rounds.
Additionally, one charger can support your whole pit setup. Therefore, you pack fewer adapters and reduce clutter on your table.
- Charge on demand: Top off devices while you wrench.
- Fewer dead batteries: Keep filming and checking live timing.
- Cleaner pit area: Use one power source instead of many bricks.
