How to hard wire phone USB station to DC input

[Sojournerjohn]

Hi, This is for my yacht. Has DC power supply. I’m wanting to hard wire a phone /pad/tablet USB station to DC input. The unit currently is AC input with internal adapter.

might it not be easier to use a small 12V dc - 240V ac inverter?

There are usb sockets available with 12v D.C. power inputs available.
Look in chandelers or caravan accessories shops.

bear in mind that something like 300watts is only just over 1A @230V, but it's 25A @ 12V. so battery drain could be a problem if using that sort of a load. phone chargers and similar devices use much less.of course.
