Re: Device stops charging?

Its pretty annoying, especially when I am driving long distances and dont realize its not charging and Garmin/PocketScrobbler eat up the battery. Anyone have any idea whats causing this?
Is the device hot when it happens? If the battery exceeds a certain temp it will stop charging to prevent it from damaging itself (charging creates more heat, overheated battery = bad). Using the radio extensively (GPS + Network) and charging for long periods of time tends to create a good bit of heat.
