Remember that waisted space in the center console, finally found the ultimate use!

I never had anything useful to place in the small storage slot until recently. I purchased a OLIGHT S1R 900 lumen rechargeable flashlight for daily carry. Other than not having a rear clicky and having a few too many modes it's a fantastic flashlight and it's CRAZY bright. Picked it up off amazon for $65.00 and carry it every day. But when I'm traveling I had no easy way to charge and I HATE loose cables.

So I ordered an extra desktop charger for home use, cut a small hole in the center console cup holder then epoxied the charger it came with into place. I did have to massage the passengers side a little heat gun to make the draw smooth. Now my light drops right onto the magnetic charger and charges while I'm on the go.

For power I plugged it into a USB splitter I previously installed behind the center console instrument cluster. It's ignition hot with a manual override. I installed it for my hard wired iPhone charging cables and my Garmin GPS as I hate the onboard GPS and like to keep my phone free.

OLIGHT S1R Turbo S

Desktop charger so you can still charge at night while at home

Sweet idea. But man... It looks like you chewed that hole out with your teeth. lol

Egh.. Not the easiest area to get to as you can't drill it directly. I had to use a sanding drum, it looks not round due to the angle of the picture, but it is. Flash makes it look worse than it is, same with all the dust...
 
I have the non-rechargeable baton about the same size. Might see if I can double side tape a piece of metal in there, because the back end of it is magnetic. Great place. I currently have mine in the center console.

I love my OLights. That is a great way to make the that space useful. I just put mine in the center console and hot glued the charger in place.
 
I went and bought a rubber mouse pad and cut a strip that fits in the space to hold my reading glasses because getting old sucks.
