Default Re: GPS charging on an unregulated 6v system

The various car chargers out there for GPS and cell phone use have varying grades of voltage regulator chips built into them. Some are more tolerant of a noisy 6 volt signal coming into them than others. So if you try one and it does not seem to work, just try another aftermarket charger.

It has been my experience that cheaper chargers are more tolerant, and the pricier ones are less tolerant. Go figure.
