Charging with car charger

I have a car charger and I usually charge the IPOD while driving. The question is, what happens if I leave the IPOD charging while the car is parked? Could the car battery get discharged and have a problem (ex. if IPOD is charging for 6hours). Thanks, Pablo.

"Question: Should I leave iPod connected to the charger or in the dock whenever I'm not using it?
Answer: The battery stops charging when it's full. Leaving it connected won't charge it any more. It's perfectly OK to leave it connected so it can charge overnight, for example."

"Question: How long does it take to charge the battery?
Answer: Fully charging the battery takes about 4 hours. You can also fast-charge the battery to 80 percent capacity in 1 hour (2 hours for iPod (Click Wheel)). Charging the battery may take longer if you're using iPod as it charges."

  • IPod won't charge with car charger or on stereo dock..

    A couple months ago, my iPod Nano (1st gen) stopped charging with the car charger and my stereo dock for no apparent reason. Is there some sort of setting that got switched in iTunes that prevents it from charging from other sources, besides the computer?
    It charges just fine when I connect it to my PC...but it just doesn't charge when I connect it to the car charger, or my stereo dock...
    Thanks in advance.

    No, iTunes probably wouldn't be affecting your iPod's charging from anything but a computer.
    Have you tried resetting your iPod?
    Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 10 seconds.
    If that doesn't seem to work (you might need to try it quite a few times), try taking a look at this:

  • IPod with dock connector is not getting charged with car charger and iTrip

    My iPod from 2003 with dock connector is not getting charged in my car by using the griffin iTrip with USB car charger. iTrip works, but not the charger. Maybe there´s not enough power output from the car charger? Only 5.0V with 400mA are coming out. iPod needs more? 12V with 1.0A?
    Does somebody have information about that problem for me?

    Has Apple dropped support for older model iPods?
    Nope. Support is still there, even back to the original 1G iPod with the wheel that actually turns. I have a 3G iPod, and it syncs just fine. There have not been any software updates for years, but the old software still works fine with the latest iTunes.
    You have to use FireWire, which you seem to be doing.
    Try putting it into Disk Mode first, then connect it.

    Does the iPod currently play music as it should?
    Do you have another docking cable (FireWire) that you can try? FireWire connectors often get worn and they no longer work, although the power connection can continue to work.
    Did you try the other FireWire port in the iMac?

    Check the little gold pins on your charge cable.   We have burned up two apple cables from regular use.   They do t appear to be designed well.

  • Why won't my new 4s charge with wall charger?

    Why won't my new 4s charge with wall charger?  It will charge when docked for off the computer but I need to use the wall charger.

    Have you got a friend who has the same phone, you could try to use their adapter and see if you could get it fixed. Also you could upgrade the iOS5 see if it fixes the issue. http://www.itjungles.com/iphone-tips/iphone-4s-update-to-ios5-to-fix-battery-pow er-issue

  • New ipod touch will not charge with car stereo anymore

    I recently got an iPod Touch and when I plug it in to my car stereo it says that "charging is not supported with this accessory". I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that the new IPT do not charge with firewire.
    I'm having the same problem with a USB 2.0 extension cord I bought. this one I don't understand because it is supposed to be USB and not firewire. I've tried plugging that in to the wall with a usb wall charger but I get the same thing, so it's not an issue of there not being enough power.
    As far as my car is concerned, the cable has a regular ipod connection. I look up firewire to USB converters but they all have a female firewire (small odd shaped holes) connection, so I couldn't plug my cable in to it. Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this situation so that my ipod will charge while it is plugged in?

    You have identified a problem that has been around since the iPod touch came out (also effects the latest generation nanos). Go to your local big box store and by yourself a new charger that is compatible with the touch.

  • IPhone no longer works with car charger

    I bought this car charger and it worked for months, and when I got back from a road trip I got the latest iPhone OS update and now the phone tells me that "Charging is not supported with this accessory."

    Did the charger include the "made for iPhone" certification when purchased including for the 3GS?
    Your iPod Classic can be charged via USB or Firewire. The original iPhone can be charged via USB or Firewire, but the FireWire pins were removed from the iPhone's dock connector after the original iPhone which is also the same with all iPod models now. If your car charger charges via FireWire, this wouldn't work with the 3GS regardless. If a 3rd party device does not include the "made for iPhone" certification, this doesn't mean it won't work with the iPhone but having the certification ensures it - unless the device has failed.
    If there were something wrong with your iPhone, it wouldn't be charging when connected to your computer or to the wall charger either.
    If the charger includes the "made for iPhone" certification, contact the manufacturer. If not, purchase one that does.

  • IPod touch 1g not charging properly with car charger

    I have a 1g iPod touch I'm using it with a Kensington 33199 fm transmitter/car charger. The iPod does not recognize the car charger power to put it into charge mode. The battery symbol does not change to a charging symbol...the unit does play audio out through the transmitter (which works fine), but it doesn't show the usual signs of charging. It seems to get a bit of a charge as the battery doesn't run down, but it also doesn't charge up. If I let the battery run down too far it won't work with the transmitter/charger at all.
    Anyone have this kind of problem with a car charger? It charges fine hooked to the computer or directly to an apple wall charger.

    If this is a 1G, then it should work. I haven't tried my 1G in the car yet, guess I should. I use a Griffin FM transmitter that charges as it plays back over the radio.
    I'll let you know what I find!

  • IPod mini only works with car charger!

    My iPod mini only works when it is plugged into a car charger. It is 4 months old. It does not work (frozen - no response or display at all) on its own, or plugged into the AC charger, or the USB connection on the computer. I have tried the reset procedure several times and with different power connections with no results. The iPod seems perfectly fine when using a car charger otherwise nothing! Whats going on!!?!?!
    Anyone else with this problem??

    Try to reset it.
    Press and hold the MENU and CENTER buttons - at the same time - until you see the Apple logo. This should take about 6 seconds. Also, you want to do this procedure while your iPod is connected to your computer. Ipods are supposed to work with USB port cable and AC Adapters, not only car chargers.
    If this doesn't work, then try to update it using iPod Updater software. Open iPod Update, plug in your iPod to your computer and wait until the software recognizes it. Once it does, you should be able to click on the "Update" button. If you can't, click "Restore"

  • White screen of death after using with car charger

    I plugged my iphone into a brand new belkin car charger and it instantly caused the screen to go white. I unplugged it immediately and then reset it.
    The next day I charged it and it booted up ok, but would not acquire the cell network and then would not respond to touch.
    I then rebooted again and rather than getting pure white screen, I got lines of different colour vertically up and down the screen. Eventually it then created a white screen again. Everytime I reset or touched any button, the same sequence would occur - flicker of coloured lines on the screen and then  fill out to a white screen. Plugging it into a mac made no difference, it was not recognised by the computer.
    It is now completely bricked and does not respond to anything.
    Anyone seen anything similar ?

    Yes!!! After the 1.1.1 update, I had the exact same thing happen with my Belkin Auto Kit. A real bummer, because until I updated, I was happy as a clam listening to music in my car off my iPhone.
    Anyway, I had the same thing happen- white screen with flashing colored lines and then a whole bunch of problems. Eventually, my iPhone became completely unresponsive. An Apple Genius took one look at it and gave me a new phone.

  • IPod will not charge with car adapter

    My iPod mini is the older of the two iPods I own, so I use it in the car when I travel. I understand leaving an iPod in the car to charge messes up the battery, but it is okay with me since it is much older. Recently, the mini has not been charging at all when I plug it into the car. Restoring has not worked, though I can try it again.
    Any ideas on what I can do?

    Sounds like there something wrong with the charger/connection in your car. I occasionally have to remove/replace the cig lighter charger I use in my car; I can tell something's wrong when the red "pilot" light doesn't work (on the charger).

  • Problems with car charger

    I dont think i have read anything like this on the forums yet. Im on my second torch and although i like it a lot being (personal opinion) best blackberry yet (functionwide) , I feel it has some issues that are making me think a lot. I had a problem with the first one, i was charging it in my car (original BB charger) and some times i would see the lighting icon with the phone charging and sometimes not. I wanted to know if it was charging or not, so i tested for minutes looking at the battery % and nothing. Then the phone started to overheat and was not charging anymore, i took it to best buy mobile where i purchased it and they gave me different car chargers to test it. I did test it but i told them that my charger was orgiunal blackberry accesory and that i charge a 9700 and a 8520 from my wife. Nothing happened, they gave me a new phone. With the new one i noticed the b atter life was superb, was way better. but after 4-5 days (yesterday) the battery went dead at 5pm with slight use on the day, i tried charging the cellphone while eating, so i left it charging in the car and when i returned the phone was hot and not charging. Im really confused
    Things i know>
    1. its not the car charger, its charging other BB fine and its original accesory
    2. Its not the lighter in my car cause i also charge other phones
    please advice

    I too am on my second torch in 8 days. I am also having a problem with the car charger. The lightning bolt goes off while charging, especially when I am using AT&T Navigator. The second phone is not as bad as the first one was, but I don't know how well it will do in the weeks to come.
    I had this same problem with my original AT&T Blackberry, the 8900. In that case, a battery swap solved the problem. With the Torch, I really don't know what is going on, but this is a serious problem because I use the AT&T Navigator all the time in my business and I have to keep my battery charged.
    I hope Blackberry recognizes that there IS a problem and fixes it.
