Guest Kakugo Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've bought myself a Garmin cellphone. Laugh as much as you want but I was in dire need of a new phone and it was really cheap. The GPS in it is a real peach though and it's useful for the few times I have to get around a big city. But like all Android phones it likes to guzzle up batteries so it came with a handy cigarette-lighter type battery charger. Problem: it's too large to fit inside the RT socket. So... anyone know of an adapter that will fit? Thanks. Link to comment

randy Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I have that exact same item and it works great. However you can IF the plug on your phone is not a voltage item, just cut the wires and attach a BMW size plug. I had two phones, one did have a voltage regulator and one did not. on the one that did not it was nice to have the bmw style plug Link to comment
Rx_Mich Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Most phones and GPS units are 5.5 volts. I have an alternate SAE 2 wire connector to the battery under the seat and bought a SAE2 wire to cigarette lighter adapter to do the same thing. I can disconnect and use the same SAE plug for a trickle charger and the other plug for a GPS or an emergency mini tire pump from Harbor Freight I keep in a saddle bag. I also have an SAE 2 wire to power supply two wire heated jacket connector. If the accessory circuit goes down I still have a heat source. Link to comment
