Car charger that works - no soldering required!

[Guest shpal]

I bought this set from 7 day shop

http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_in...ducts_id=109935

and this Belkin cable from Amazon

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001PGW...ref=oss_product

I've just used the car charger for the first time and was pleased to see it came up charging AC. I used Navigation between the supermarket and home and the battery went up from 84% to 96% on a 10 min journey.

Hope this helps some people who, like me, are a bit nervous of soldering pins!

Why opening a new topic and not posting in an already existing topic?

...Because I couldn't find a topic that recommended a charger that worked and charged AC in a car - only ones that said some chargers didn't. I thought but starting a new topic with a clear title it would save people reading pages and pages of irrelevant stuff looking for an answer.

Please continue discussion in one of the already existing topics.

These adapters look like great value, 1 x car and 1 x mains, (useful as a spare), correct power rating for OSF and only £2.99 delivered!

Have just ordered a set, thanks for the tip! :)

If this post had been buried in one of the current "car mount / charger" threads I may never have found it ;)

I tend to agree in this case. I too would probably have missed this if it was tacked onto the end of a multi-page thread, and there isn't actually a thread dealing specifically with car chargers that deliver AC power.

NB No offence to the mods intended :)

can recommend this - the car charger doesnt detect as USB and you get a reasonable case (choice of colour) for £3.99. Its 0.75 amp and restores the battery while being used by google navigation

Plus postage makes it £5.99 ... and then there's the disadvantage of getting that case as well ... ;)

Odd, as on that page it says:

Car Lighter to USB Details

Input: 12VDC~24VDC

Output: 5v--500mA

I bought the £1.50 car charger on it's own from 7dayshop, it looks exactly like the one in the photo for this product & has the same specs. It only charges as if it were a normal usb port, not ac charging.
