Can I connect a USB charger socket to the load terminals on my vectron smart solar?
 
Just a little further comment ... the entire habitation electrics in my Motorhome are connected to the Leisure Battery via the LOAD terminals on my Victron MPPT Controller - so lights, 12V sockets, USB Sockets, TV, etc.
 
I thought you could only use the load terminals for up to 5amp.

not on the Victron MPPTs.
the 100/20 Controller supports upto 20A. The smaller MPPTs support upto 15A.

what you can't do is connect up a load that has a surge that exceeds the rating at any time, so no Inverters or Compressor Fridges for example.

If it overloads the load output just gets cut, it won't actually break, which is good. (y)

I use the output for mine as the standard system is rated at 20A in total so suits quite nicely (and you can use the Victron s/w to see just what the load is).
