The BlueSea socket is somewhat less efficient assuming a 12V socket is 100% efficient. The Bluesea is converting from 12V to 5V for the USB socket with some loss along the way. Limiting the amps too … 2.1 amps typical for a charging port. I would assume BlueSea is using the same electronics you would find in any 12V socket adapter with USB ports you might find but in a permanent wall mount.

I do like the sleekness of the Blue Sea.
