Battery drain while on charger?

I recently got a xv6900 and love it, but I've come across one issue. The battery gets drained while connected to a car charger.

The situation is this. I unlocked my phone, flashed OMJ's custom Verizon ROM and I have the 3.37.15 GPS radio. I've installed CoPilot Live 7 and keep the phone in a cradle and plugged into a car charger while using the navigation. Every time I unplug it after using the GPS for a extended period of time I notice that the battery has run down. 100% to 60% after about 6 straight hours of use on a long drive.

The charger is plugged into a accessory port so even when the vehicle is off it can still charge. Could the charger I have just not supply enough power? Its the same one I've been using for a while with 2 previous mini-USB phones. Is there a specific car charger I need for this device?
