Default Can my dell Car charger be used?
I have a Dell X51v which I use as GPS. I bought a Sedio Car kit cradle which has a DC out port so I can charge my Holux GPSlim 236. The charging cable to the Holux has a standard mini usb connection.

My question is: Can I use the same cable to charge my Trinity?
Personally I can't see why not, but my knowledge is very limited on the subject.

Maybe, you have to check the output voltage of your charger with the intake of the device. For example my Tytn charger delivers 5V/1mAh to the device, so if a car charger matches that should be ok.

The battery (I have not access to the chargers for the next week) for Trinity says "Rating: 3.7 VDC === 1500mAh" and the Dell battery says "Rating: 3.7 V === 1100mAh". Both are Li-ion batteries. I would interpret this to mean that the same charger can be used, it will just take a little bit longer to get fully charged. Is this correct?
