If you have been following blog posts during June 2019, you will know I am trying to power all my portable devices on Board Arwen from a series of portable power banks thus doing away the need to install a 12v system on the boat.
My ICOM M23 VHF handheld radio was a problem - the wall charger provides an output of 6v 0.6A. My power bank provides 5v 2.4A. It is clearly under-powered.
After some head scratching and research, a company 'MyVolts' may have provided a solution and I am about to test it out as the cables have finally arrived.

This ripcord cable will convert 5v to 6v and hopefully solve the charging issue. It came with a dc barrel jack conversion kit as well.
The company's website can be found here
Next week I am hoping to get out on the water for a couple of days and I will post back how I get on charging the radio overnight
