It&rsquo;s panel mount and comes with a QC 3.0 port and two USB-C power delivery ports. The PD ports charge my Pixel at more than 12 W.</p> <p>I made this as we were going camping and wanted to keep our phones charged. I&rsquo;ve got quite a few 3S and 4S model aircraft batteries and this was less wasteful than buying a power bank.</p> <p><img src="charger.png" alt="Render of the case"></p>
