12v power?

Do any of the 12v stay on after the cars locked? I have extended storage so have the boot 12v and need to charge my phone over night (away camping). Can I use any of the rears as I know the front cuts out to charge the phone over night?

I used the trunk one to charge a power bank, but it turns off after about 5 minutes to protect the battery. If you keep the power bank plugged in all the time it should have sufficient charge whenever you need it from charging when you're driving. I use power all brand and which has enough reserve for multiple charges of your phone at least and enough juice to jump start your car a few times too if you get the higher power model.

Cheers mate, I have a small power bank to charge the phone but was trying to save it as I'm at 20% and I'm here till Monday. I will just have to leave the car running tomorrow and charge it up.
