Sorry have not got a link, I bought mine from Halfords last August, it’s a male 12VDC plug on a curly lead into a canister that has 4 outlets, 2 x 12VDC female and 2 x 5 volt USB 2 ports with a set of micro LEDs to show the charge rate. It cost about £10.
All I did was cut the male plug off the curly cable and joined it directly to a small solar battery top up panel thingys leads. (My large 80Watt Panel is still boxed up and in store.)
Obviously the USB2 5 volt outlets are regulated by circuitry inside the canister, but I’m trying to fathom out how or if I need to regulate the fag lighter 12VDC outlets ????? without incorporating a storage battery or charge controller into this very basic simple system ?

Can you possibly point us towards a link for a 12v power hub?

Naturally ten seconds after finishing that reply I find a link to the hub thingys ( proper name is multi sockets apparently)

BTW if your loaded like SD you can always buy a complete micro off grid kit designed for third world countries but absolutely ideal as a back up kit from British preppers
