Does the UBS charger work when the car is not running

Does the car need to be running I for the charger to operate?

Each vehicle is different. The one on my center console doesn't work while the car is off but the one in the armrest does. I have a Charger and a Jeep

Re: Does the UBS charger work when the car is not running

Some times yes sometimes no. Depends on the car. My wife's car-2015 Sonata only has power at USB port when car is on or running. My truck-2014 Ram 1500 has 2 USB ports, a 115 v outlet and I think 3 cigarette charging ports. Some work with the truck off some only work with the truck on or running.

Mine doesn't. I was reading in a Honda forum how they tweak some of the cars to allow for charging when it's off.
