Nice bit of kit. As the Inforad company site is very poor for information I read a few reviews of the product. They state 5 hour battery life. John does this ring true?

Sorry I haven't tested it for long enough. My logic was the longest drive I normally do is 4 hrs from Amersham to Ruabon so it should be ok.
I'll switch it on now at 07:45 & see how it goes

can u charge it without having to plug it in to a usb port ? I'd guess that you could use one of these: - Griffin PowerJolt It fits into a standard lighter socket and allows you to use any USB cable to charge devices such as iPods, iPhones or Blackberrys. As it powers standard USB devices, I don't see why it wouldn't work on this; however, until someone actually tries it out

As it powers standard USB devices, I don't see why it wouldn't work on this; however, until someone actually tries it out The other thread describing this device says it has its own power cable: "Aeroman, it has a claimed battery life of 6 hrs. It comes with a cigar light adapter which the USB stick end fits into so you can recharge in the car. It also charges of a USB port on a PC. You update via software you download. To answer other questions:- 1. I guess it will work with the top up, but haven't tried it as I usually drive top down. But it works in my c class estate & is designed for tin tops so I guess it would. 2. Because it emits a loud noise & flashing lights I notice it more easily than my sat nav. Hope that helps."
