Phone / Sat Nav Charger

Post by barker_001 »

I've just bought a really small car charger from my local Tesco Extra - it gets around the problem of the gear lever hitting the charger when trying to engage 1st gear. As you can see from the picture, there is plenty of clearance with this tiny charger:

It's a Cygnett GroovePower charger and has a 1A output. Mine has a micro USB connector, but they also had chargers for iPhone and one which has two regular USB sockets on the front.
