Charging a Satnav

This is a strange one.

 

My Satnav is charged via a USB lead. I have two charging points in my vehicle. If I plug my mobile into them, via a USB adaptor cigar type plug, it charges. But if I try and charge my Satnav, it doesn't. However, if I plug the Satnav into my computer, it charges straight away, proving that the lead works okay. I don't know what to do, and I will be needing the Satnav early March.

Permanent hard wire is best as no viable cables.Just used an add on fuse.

Sounds like the voltage draw for the sat nav is too high for your adaptor, you need to get one that will cope with the draw.

This If you only want the plug and play option,it's the same for most tablets also.Stay away from cheap car adapters from eBay, I used (before I hard wired)an adapter over 2amp to run a tablet as Nav in the car.I used Belkin adapter had a1.5amp and 3amp slot would charge the phone in the 1.5 amp port and run the Satnav (tablet ) in the 3amp Edited by Davyo
