will an XDAI car charger work for an XDAII? do the connectors have the same configuration?
thanks,
Dino
Yes.

Hi,
Does anyone know if the Car charger supplied with the Globalsat BT-308 GPS receiver can charge the XDAII also. I have all the connections to do it, but my question is more specifically, does it output 5v as is required by the XDAII (I think!).
Thanks!!!!
I am wondering what voltage the Xda car adaptor runs at?
I have a couple of Nokia car adaptors here that run at 7volts, even thought the mains adaptor runs at 5volts.
Is 7 volts going to fry my Xda II ??? :?:
I have a 3rd party combination unit. It has a USB sync-charge cable but also has a mains power adapter and a car accessory socket adapter both with a socket to accept the USB end off the sync-charge cable. So you can charge the XDA II by mains power, car, or USB port on PC.
Anyway, my point is the output voltage of the mains and car accessory socket are both 5.8v
Will 7v fry your XDA ii? I don't know but the cost of a compatible car charger or a 3rd part unit like mine is a lot less than the cost of a replacement XDA II

On my AC Adapter, it says the output is 5V and 2A.
I'd stay away from 7V, it's nearly 50% more than it wants.

I am really interetsed to know what the 12volt car adaptors run at. If someone has one can they put a meter on it and let me know.
As I said above, the nokia AC adaptors are rated at 5volt, but the car charger gives out 7volts and the nokias seem to survive ok.
I'm not keen to plug my XDA in until I get a reading on the car charger's output..
I don't have a car charger, but I can't imagine any reason why it's output would be any different than the ac charger.
if one are going to measure the volts out of an car chager then it's best to measure it while it's charging a device since volts when there are no amps being drawn are often higher then when the amps are being drawn
the right answer
the correct answer is min 4.8 - max 4.9 volts 2A :lol:
my dad recently lend me his XDA IIs and i was wondering if i can charge it in my car using a usual ac chager (the one with the cig socket on the end and a circle ac with a yellow tip on the other) because the package came with an XDA IIs Connector Adapter.. a small connector that connects to the bottom of the xda and a plug where the xda 2 charger for the cradle on the other end..
can i use it to connect it with a normal AC plug for cars?
thanks a bunch!
ligther plugs from cars give DC i'm pretty sure not AC
and you may want to look at connectors in wiki
because ipaq's have the same plug as xda's
but different wireing and if the charger is made for ipaq's
then you need to mod them
you can buy xda2 2020i car chargers from any o2 shops for £19.99

oh yeah cars give DC. sorry my bad.
my connector came with the xda IIs unit so i'm pretty sure its for the xda. i'm just thinking if i can charge it with a norml car cig plug DC.
well if the connector is the same
and + and - is connected the same
and it give the same volts
then you can use it
hmmmm + and - eh? hmm.. yeah.. i think it'll work. thanks!
It will not.
You need a 5 V DC outlet to your XDA II.
If you plug 12 V DC in you'll see what happens.

Charging XDA2 from in-car charger
It does work fine. Have done this using 4.5v/600mA regulated dc/dc adaptor with plug matching that used on original XDA2 mains adaptor - centre is positive, outer negative . I know that mains unit is 5v/2A but my car adaptor works fine in car and boat. Of course you're not feeding 12v directly to your XDA.
thanks for the replies! yep. i wont put in 12v.. thanks for the advice. i'll probably do the same with tomdick. nice one. thanks.
I wonder if that would work.
I have a mobile PNA TomTom Device in my Car with a 12V (input) Charger. I realized that the PNA can also be charged by pluging it into the USB interface of my computer. The Jack is also a miniUSB. So the charger plug has the same connector. Am I right to assume that the Diamond has to be charged by a 5V (USB current) miniUSB interface?
So it may be possible to charge the Diamond with exactely the same charger from my TomTom device?
I don´t have the current output of the PNA charging device in mind but i assume that it also has to be 5V?
Is there a possibility that both connectors are differently wired? Or is the miniUSB of both standardized?
i dont have your tom tom device, but there are two standards. 6v and 5v. Make sure you check properly
The charging device from my TomTom has an output of 5V so i assume the pin occupation is the same and i can use it to charge my Diamond (to come).
Just to make some of you guys happy. You CAN actually use the TomTom car charging device to charge your Diamond.
Plug fits and power output is exactely the same as the original HTC car charger!
For me it saved spending 20€.
Been looking for a new car charger for my skyrocket, I'm looking for a retractable usb charger to reduce clutter in my truck. I've been scouring Amazon but I don't think many of them will power the hungry phone with Navigation and Music playing. Anyone have any suggestions?
Find one rated for 1amp, I know eBay has a few
i bought one of these:
http://www.gizmag.com/thanko-release-dual-usb-in-car-charger-low-price/16171/
then i bought a retractable usb cable. The good thing about doing it this way is that I'm able to charge two phones in the car and I can take the cable out and use it on my PC as well.
I has been my experience in the past that the retractable ones do not last long, and often times cause issues with the usb ports on the phones. What I have done is purchased a griffin dual usb port 12v plug, and a short usb cable. And with any excess, I got a few rubber bands from a neighbors daughter that has braces and coiled the remainder of the cable.
Or in vehicle #2, I bought the same griffin 12v plug and then removed the dash bezel and center console and ran the wire underneath that for a good clean look.
Recommend Scosche Dual 2.1A USB Car Charger
I had good luck with cheap retractable cords from ebay (~1/each)
I use them with a Scosche Dual 2.1A (4.2 amps total) USB Car Charger (~$17 on ebay). This charger allows me to use gps navigation on long trips and not drain the battery. My cheaper lower 1amp chargers did not maintain battery power with GPS navigation.
