Weird one for anyone who might have had previous problems with something similar -- The other day I was charging my iPhone via the 12V socket and suddenly my charger stopped working. I assumed it was just a dud charger and proceeded to buy another. The same thing happened, twice. And put it down to the iPhone, thinking maybe it was due for an upgrade to the iPhone 5 (Good excuse, I say!). Then yesterday I was using my GPS and the same problem occurred -- The GPS charger stopped working. I went into Joyce Mayne where I bought it and thankfully they DOA'd the whole lot and gave me a new one.
I'm a little scared to plug the new one in in fears of the car killing it. Is this something my car is doing or have I just had a really bad run with chargers in the last 72 hours? Anything I can check? Or is it back to the dealership?
I'm already $100 in on dead iPhone car chargers -- I don't really want to lose another GPS to it's wrath.
Also, while I'm here -- Am I able to use the lighter socket to charge things? And can I use the 12V and the lighter socket at the same time to charge 2 different things with 2 different, independent chargers? Or is this a big no-no?
Please help!
