- Garmin Dash Cam 55
I've just got my new DC 55 and installed it in my car. Since I have only a single lighter socket and no splitter at hand and I'm also connecting my phone for charging, I'm using the Anker USB lighter power adapter with 3 USB sockets.
I've used the Anker micro-USB cable to connect the cam to the lighter power adapter and it fails to work. When I power on my DC, it says something like "this cable cannot charge your camera, please use the original cable" and then obviously the cam shuts down due to the empty battery.
Is this a normal behavior - not being able to use any other micro-USB cable to charge this cam? I could understand issues with data transfer, but power issues are strange... I'm pretty sure my Anker adapter delivers sufficient power, it's even higher than the one stated at the original Garmin power adapter.
