Smartphone charge in top case

Post by jeancap_31 »

Hello,
There is electricity coming into RT1250 (2020) top case to power the lamp.
Is it possible to install a plug and use it to charge a phone ?
I know the system already exists in K1600
Thanks

Don't know but if it is not possible to use the existing power supply to the top case, this guy installed an additional wire.

This thread from the K1600 Forum would also seem to suggest that a separate wire might be the way to go.

Unless, there is an unused wire for the heated back pad.
