Yes... my point being they are cheap and you probably should have already had one for own personal use predating G2 EFBs. I’d rather the company make a project to install power ports in the FD rather than buying batteries.

Yeah, why have the company provide mobile phones for Captains because you should have already purchased one for personal use that will lower company Return to Gate Ops...

I'd give up the cell phones and batteries in favor of a cappuccino machine project for the flight deck...

Bring your own VHF handheld too, the company needs help. Preferably one that can tune a loc.

Providing a battery back would cost nothing compared to installing power ports into the flight deck. There would have to be an STC for the power ports.

I don't think it's rated for the amperage required to charge an iPad.

There's a reason why USB is a standard...
