Power Supply/Charger for GPS-NAV
No Longer Available (see note below)
Plugs into wall outlet and provides 12V, power for GPS-NAV. Useful when powering the GPS-NAV outside your glider - downloading flight logs or uploading waypoint files. May also be used to charge a CAA-064 battery.
Note: Unlike most 12V chargers, the +12V connection is on the outside of the cylindrical connector, and the ground is on the inside wall of the cylindrical connector. There isn't any pin inside the cylinder. If you reverse the polarity, you will fry components or circuit board lines in the GPS-NAV.
Below is a link to a charger with multiple output connectors, and a "reverse polarity" adapter cable. Use the reverse-polarity adapter cable, and the 5 mm outer diameter output connector. Set the voltage to 12V. I tested this setup with a Cambridge GPS-NAV Model 10. It worked great.
