The British company Scanstrut has further developed its charger series. By increasing the power to ten watts, charging processes are now said to be up to 60 per cent faster. The innovation not only relates to the swallow's nest-shaped Cove induction charger, but is also available with the Active, Edge and Nest holders. The Swallow's Nest with wireless charging will be available with LED lighting later this year. The price has not yet been set.

The company also offers the Flip Pro Fast Charge, a charger with USB ports for bulkhead mounting. There are two sockets, one USB-A and one USB-C with 36 watts of charging power. This means that tablets or notebooks can also be charged quickly. The socket is protected against splash water with a flap in accordance with IPX4. A 29 millimetre hole must be drilled into the bulkhead for installation. The box itself measures 30.0 by 37.7 millimetres and costs 59 euros.

Redakteur Test & Technik

Michael Rinck war das Kind, das nach der Schule direkt aufs Wasser wollte – Segeltraining, Regatten, Hauptsache nass. Diese Vorliebe machte er zum Beruf: Erst als Segellehrer auf der Alster (während des Studiums), dann ab 2014 in der YACHT-Redaktion. Dort hat er im Bereich Test & Technik seine Berufung gefunden: Segelboote und Sicherheitsequipment testen. Was besonders bei Rettungswesten und MOB-Systemen bedeutet, dass er mehr Arbeitsstunden im Wasser treibend verbringt als die meisten Menschen im Büro sitzend. Höhepunkt: eine ganze Nacht in der Rettungsinsel auf der Ostsee. Seine Familie hat inzwischen durchgesetzt, dass Urlaubstörns auf der eigenen Fahrtenyacht deutlich trockener ablaufen.
