[hayatimleyla]

hi;

i have bought a new zumo 350 for my bike  - and mounted cradle and made wiring black cable to (-) / red cable to (+) to dorectly to the battery

but problem is - it is not charging

any comments?

what voltage is it supposed to run on?

a lot of devices run on 5v (ie. usb level), just wondering.

ooppss forgot to mention about it

on cradle - one is 5,22v, other is 0,00v

on its adapter; it is written to be between 4.0 - 5,5v

seems ok - about voltage

so you need to go from your 12v source (from battery) to a usb type powerpack which in turn will provide the 5v supply for your zumo.

These power packs often plug into a 12v socket (cigar lighter type), you could either fit a 12v socket then your power supply will plug into it, or break open the power supply and wire in the 12v leads directly (which is what I did).
