In Car Charger For Nexus 7

[hc4361]

I use my Nexus as a satnav and very good it is, too.
Problem is that it runs the battery down in 4 and a half hours, which is not good enough.
I do use an in car charger but either it isn't working at all or it's not powerful enough.

Can anyone recommend a charger that is up to the job, please?

The one I'm currently using states:
Input Voltage DC 12v-24v
Output Voltage - 4.2v -10v 600mA max 750ma (a is in small case here)

I have no idea what these readings mean. Is the cable linked to by Hans much more powerful?

G'evening hc......I am as wise as you are on this issue...In fact I Do Not have a smart phone or a tablet and often get lost when discussing matters outside of Computers/Laptops.

Do you have any on screen indication that your Nexus is being charged when plugged into your car battery socket.? If Not then there is obviously a lack of connection, which suggests a faulty cable/charger. On the charger which I suggested the cable will take a heavier loading than that which you have. However the one you have should be adequate to charge your Nexus. It is the voltage which is important not the amperage and I believe you require 5volts.

In view of the fact that the charger I suggested is very reasonable to purchase, I would suggest that you have a go with a new item. If it doesn't work you could ask me to refund you the cost. :-)
