Holux 236 GPS charger - mains & usb powered

cloudchaser

Hi all

I dont have my original charger handy and just have the car charger so wanted to get a mains or usb powered charger to use when indoors.

I prefer mains but will be fine with a usb powered cable too. Can someone please point out which would be a suitable charger? I am not sure which is the right one to use.

thanks in advance.

I just plug my 236 units into the PC via a mini USB lead this is sufficiant to charge the units prior to use, although the PC tends to be on more than off Wink

You can get USB chargers that plug into the mains, or into a 12V car socket. Output is 5V.

I use both varieties when travelling, instead of the standard Holux supplied car charger. This cuts down on the number of accessories I have to carry, as I have other devices that also use the USB 5V output to charge.

Standard USB to mini-USB cables are easy to come by... :D

Does your 236slim work while being charged via car lighter socket with a non holux lead if it does what are using.

Thanks guys - I found a mini USB cable that I did not know I had and am using that to charge. As I carry my laptop while travelling I dont need mains as such.

I also have the original car charger which works find. Dont have a non-Holux so can't help out on that one.

cheers
