It is a data only connection, it does not supply power.
Then how does my iPod Classic (with a nearly dead battery) work from the USB port in my 2015 LEAF S? :evil: Don't post incorrect information.
The truth is the USB port delivers the standard 500ma (1/2 amp) that USB was originally designed for. Many devices with larger batteries (e.g., Android devices and iPads) charge very slowly or not at all from a "low-power" USB port. iPhones and iPods, which are generally more energy efficient than Android devices, can charge at 500ma.
Both my iPod Classic 80GB and my iPhone 5S have no problems charging from the built-in USB port. I also have a lighter plug that can charge at a faster rate or charge my iPad. I usually use this for my phone because I leave my iPod Classic attached all the time to the built-in USB port.
