John Dorrer Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 I just got hear aids and hoping someone can share their charging experience in their Oliver. Just purchased Oticon hearing aids. When plugged into shore Power, I can plug into 110. I can also use USB. The charging manual says to ensure that the power source is USB 2.0 compliant, with a minimum of 500mA output. The USB cord has the oval end. I don't have access to our Oliver right now to see what the USB looks like. Wonder if Oliver installs the new oval plug or the older that has a longer bottom leg with shorter upper leg. Worst case, I'm guessing I can purchase a 12-volt plug, that has the newer USB plug on the the end. Any advise would be appreciated.

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted December 21, 2023 Moderators Posted December 21, 2023 Our trailer has USB A ports. The oval end means you have a USB C cord. USB A to C adapters are available on Amazon and other places so you should be good. Mike 2 4 Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L
Steve Morris Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 John, All of our devices use USB-C, so I have a few of these scattered among our vehicles. They were $13 CyberMonday. Anker is a reputable brand. You'll likely find less expensive versions, but I've had no-name USB-A adapters melt before. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0843SCLYH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details 5 ----- Steve - Northern Ohio, USA Wandering around on occasion, always lost. 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser - 2023 Oliver Elite II Twin Hull #1360 “Curiosity” Facebook - Instagram Camped in Curiosity = Green —— Visited with Curiosity = Gray
ADKCamper Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 +1 My wife has (2-3 year old) Oticon hearing aids with a USB-A charging plug, which works fine with the Blue Sea 2x USB-A outlets that Oliver was installing back in late 2018. I'm not familiar with what they're installing now. I'm not surprised that Oticon has likely upgraded to USB-C charging since then as its becoming much more universal. We also have several Anker 12V USB-A/C adapter plugs similar to the one Steve Morris has shown above, and second his recommendation for Anker USB products. I did a quick survey on the Blue Sea website, and could not find any USB-C flush-mount outlets from Blue Sea available yet. Those outlets are not difficult to swap out if you can find one from a quality manufacturer that has the same form factor as the factory installed units (thus eliminating the need to use the separate USB adaptor plug...). A USB-A to USB-C adapter would also work as Mike has suggested. 1 Tom & Holly 2018 Oliver Legacy Elite #409 - Tow 2017 Silverado 1500, 5.3L Gas, 4x4 Z71, Dbl Cab, Std Bed, 320W rooftop solar, 300Ah Epoch LiFePO4, Xantrex PROwatt SW 2000 inverter, PD4060CVS 60Amp Lithium-capable Converter

Not sure how I was thinking there was a "C" end.🙃 1 1 John & Susan Dorrer, 2013 F250, 6.2 gasser, 4x4, 2022 Legacy Elite 2, twin beds, Hull #1045, Jolli Olli -
