A device for providing vehicle battery power to rechargeable devices in vehicles, such as portable radios, cell phones, flashlights and laptop computer terminals left in patrol vehicles. The device has battery power as input, and outputs power to rechargeable devices while the vehicle is on, and for a time period thereafter. One device has multiple outputs having corresponding time periods. One device includes an engine sensor, a timer, a first switch and a second switch, with the first switch coupled to a first rechargeable device through a first terminal pair and the second switch coupled to a second rechargeable device through a second terminal pair. Each terminal pair can have a unique time period and, in some embodiments, can have one of a set number of time periods selected with a jumper.
