Group-
I bought this 12-24 V to iPhone/iPod/iPad/iPad2 adapter from ebay:
http://tinyurl.com/cf3f3kj
It is advertised and arrived clearly marked as "Input 12-24 V DC; Output 5 V / 3.1 A".
Nice, professional finish and markings. Mine reads “USAMS” (probably manufacturer’s logo) and has 2 USB slots marked iPhone/iPod and iPad/iPad2, 3.1 A.
Not so fast I though - still being a bit circumspect, I tried it with a 5 V LED light on a 24 V bus (engine not running) instead of enthusiastically plugging in my tablet  . Glad I didn’t ! -
After a second or so there was a crackling sound, smoke, and the LED map light burned out. Now I have an adapter with 24 V in and 24 V out Shall we say “you get what you pay for” ?
Anyone else with similar experience?
