Physical connectors can be had from eBay, Amazon, CPC, Farnell, Maplin. But do realise that USB is 5V not 12V so you'll a regulator circuit to reduce the voltage (an example http://www.instructables.com/id/Portable-USB-Charger-1/). | |

First off where do you buy them from? Tried searching Amazon but that just brings up the 12v ones that have USB on top of them which is not what I want. |
