It Charges thru a mini-USB port. either by connecting it to: 1)a computer/laptop USB port or 2)an AC-USB adapter, IE a smartphone charger. It takes about 3-5 hrs to fully charge and has an auto-shutoff, it cannot be over charge and cannot over charge what it's connected to.

I can't say... I no longer have the packaging with exact specifications. However I will say this powers my gps with no problems. I had another charger (with a split port) and that did not charge my gps, so that should help you gage a general power level.

Iuse the USB charger to charge the battery that is in the radio. I have not charged my spare battery, becuase once you start charging and discharging them, they begin to wear out.I will use the 1st battery until it won't hold a charge any longer, and then install the 2nd battery.

HiMy charger quit working, I just got a small 12 volt battery charger and wired in a new plug that matched up to the cart.You can run the wires from the battery out the bottom of the cart and plug the charger into it, you don't have to use the built in plug.Make sure you get the Positive Negative connection right.Sealed Lead Acid Battery Charger UPG D1724Mike

A way is to place the battery in its charging sleeve, place it in a Rexpower RPC-Z1 USB charger from solidsignal.com, and insert the charger into an enercell AC to USB Power Adapter from Radio Shack. I did this 4 yrs. ago, but items may have changed since then.

We are in the same boat b/c the charger went missing. Contact Power wheels. They should have stock battery chargers.

I would make sure your GPS is not running all the time and you choose power save mode in your setting.

DA charger comes with the Garmin - one to plug into the car to make it work while driving plus one that attaches to the computer (download the lifetime maps) and I suppose to recharge the GPS if needed, but it charges while using it.

Yes, I use a battery tender etc a small charger that will not over charge any battery .

I don't have either that Garmin or charger. When I bought my Nuvi I received a charger for my car, another for the computer and one for 110v. I would suggest u go online to garmin.com (mygarmin if u registered ur product) and ask. Better to phone if you can, answering emails is not a Garmin strong point.

Need to have a smart charger to charge AGM battery. Charger will shut off when battery is charged. Need to charge or get battery maintainer so battery will last long time

I have not had a chance to use the charger while riding with the GPS yet so cannot comment on the charger. In order to answer this we need more information. Are you calling the charger the GPS unit? Is the iphone 5s plugged into the same location as the gps for power? If both of these are trueand the iphone has no problems than it looks like the GPS or its charger are a problem. Is everything plugged into the unit properly? When it was wired in is it a good ground location?

You can by a $5.00 5W (5V 1Amp) charger at any gas station, corner store or any store that carries ipod/ipad/iphone chargers. my suggestion to you is, get a cigarette lighter USB charger for your car if you plan to use this for a MP3/GPS. I highly suggest that if you are driving to not mess with the device as it is dangerous. If you have to put in another address for the GPS please pull over or have someone else do this for you.

If you are using the GPS when driving, then you are likely plugging it into the auxiliary thingy in the car. You can also plug it in to your computer, as others mentioned. If you don't use the GPS for a while, you may wind up with a low battery and it will take a few minutes to charge. Meanwhile the screen will not be fully lit - your GPS is working fine, and it will brighten up as it acquires its charge.

I use a trickle or maintainer battery charger and some regular chargers they have a mode for motorcycle batteries or low amp charging.

I've never worn out a battery on one of these things, and I therefore can't certify that it will work in a car with a worn-out battery, but I do know that people often use laptops indefinitely on the AC adapter/charger. There's no reason why it shouldn't work that way.Mr. Kuc, if yours behaves that way you might consider calling Garmin and ask them if that's consistent with a bad battery or with another problem. It might be a damaged software install, which could be fixed at no expense.-dk
