Quick answer

The Quad Lock 12V-24V Waterproof Wireless Charging Head is the right pick when you need wireless charging in a wet or exposed spot, such as a motorcycle, boat, or open vehicle. It is IP67 water resistant and hardwired, making it Quad Lock's highest-rated water-resistant wireless charger. If your priority is fast everyday mounting in a dry cabin, the Quad Lock MAG Head is the lighter, cheaper option.

What makes this charging head different from other Quad Lock heads

Most Quad Lock 360 heads are mechanical: they hold your phone but do not power it. The 12V-24V Waterproof Wireless Charging Head combines the 360 mounting interface with a hardwired wireless charging circuit, so the mount itself becomes the power source. That means no separate charging cable running to your phone, and no exposed USB port to worry about in rain or spray.

The IP67 rating is the headline feature. It is the highest water-resistance rating among Quad Lock wireless chargers, which is why the product is aimed at marine and exposed applications. A red light indicator is included specifically to help with visibility in those environments.

How the hardwired connection works

This head is designed to be wired into a 12V or 24V electrical system, not plugged into a USB socket. That is a meaningful difference from a car charger: you are committing to a permanent or semi-permanent installation rather than a cable you move between vehicles. In exchange, the charging head is always powered when the circuit is live, and there is no plug to vibrate loose on rough roads or open water.

Because it accepts both 12V and 24V input, the same head suits a car, a motorcycle, and many marine electrical systems. Check your vehicle's circuit before you buy, and confirm you are comfortable making a hardwired connection rather than using an existing accessory socket.

Which Quad Lock 360 setups it fits

The charging head is a 360 Kit Builder component, so it attaches to the 360 base and arm you already choose for your vehicle. If you have built a 360 setup for a car, motorcycle, or boat, this head replaces the standard head in that assembly. It uses the same dual-stage twist mounting interface, so the phone attachment motion is familiar.

If you are starting from scratch, plan the head and base together. The base determines where the mount sits; the head determines whether you get charging and how much weather protection you get.

When a MAG Head is the better choice

The Quad Lock MAG Head is the quicker, simpler option for dry environments. It uses strong hold magnets plus the Quad Lock interface for shear resistance, and it is designed for super fast attach and detach. There is no wiring and no charging circuit, so it costs less and installs in seconds.

Choose the MAG Head for a car interior, a garage-kept motorcycle, or any mount where you charge your phone by cable anyway. Choose the 12V-24V Waterproof Wireless Charging Head when the mount will be exposed to rain, spray, or washdown and you want charging built in.

Powering other devices on the same vehicle

If your build also needs a standard USB outlet for a passenger's phone, a camera, or a navigation device, the Charging - Dual USB 12V Car Charger is a separate, simpler addition. It plugs into your car's DC connector and provides a USB-A port at up to 18W and a USB-C port at up to 30W, for 48W combined. It is not a substitute for the waterproof charging head, but the two solve different problems and can coexist in the same vehicle.

Charging head FAQ

Is the 12V-24V Waterproof Wireless Charging Head really waterproof?

It carries an IP67 water-resistance rating and is described as Quad Lock's highest-rated water-resistant wireless charger. IP67 covers temporary immersion and heavy spray, which is why the product is positioned for marine use. Fine for rain and spray; do not treat it as a diving-grade device.

Can I use it on a motorcycle?

Yes, if your motorcycle provides a 12V circuit you can hardwire into and you use a compatible Quad Lock 360 base and arm. The dual-stage twist interface holds the phone the same way as other 360 heads. Confirm your bike's accessory circuit before ordering.

Does it work on 24V systems?

The head accepts both 12V and 24V input, so it suits vehicles and vessels with either system. That range is what makes one part usable across cars, motorcycles, and many boats. Match the wiring to your vehicle's voltage, not the other way around.

Do I still need a charging cable?

No. The head is hardwired and charges wirelessly, so there is no cable from the mount to the phone. You do need to connect the head to your vehicle's electrical system during installation. Plan the wiring route before you mount the base.

Should I buy this or the MAG Head?

Pick the waterproof charging head for exposed, wet, or marine mounting where you want built-in charging. Pick the MAG Head for dry interiors where fast attach and detach matter more than weather sealing or wireless power. Wet and powered: charging head. Dry and quick: MAG Head.

Can I add a USB charger for a second device?

Yes. The Dual USB 12V Car Charger plugs into a DC connector and offers USB-A up to 18W and USB-C up to 30W. It is a separate accessory from the hardwired charging head. Use it for passengers or non-wireless devices, not as a replacement for the head.

Product facts

  • Quad Lock 360 Head - 12V-24V Waterproof Wireless Charging Head: IP67 water resistant with a hardwired connection; described as Quad Lock's highest-rated water-resistant wireless charger, with a red light indicator for marine applications. This is the deciding spec if your mount sees rain, spray, or washdown. It is the only Quad Lock wireless charger rated for that level of exposure.
  • Quad Lock 360 Head - 12V-24V Waterproof Wireless Charging Head: Uses the secure dual-stage twist mounting interface as part of a Quad Lock 360 setup. You keep the same twist-to-lock phone motion as other 360 heads, so it slots into an existing 360 base and arm rather than requiring a new mounting system.
  • Quad Lock 360 Head - MAG Head: Quad Lock MAG Head uses strong hold magnets plus the Quad Lock interface for shear resistance, with quick attach and detach. It is the faster, lower-cost alternative when the mount stays dry and you do not need built-in charging.
  • Charging - Dual USB 12V Car Charger: Dual USB 12V Car Charger provides USB-A QC3.0 up to 18W and USB-C up to 30W, 48W combined, plugging into the car's DC connector. Useful when you need to charge a second device or a non-wireless phone alongside a hardwired mount.
