Jbabycsx Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 By charger do you mean an in home AC charger or an automotive DC charger that plugs into a cig lighter?

David711 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I had a inverter and tried doing a 360 but it just kept blowing the fuse that was in it so I wasn't too sure if it would work but I'm going to buy 1 today and try it out Quote "WHOEVER SAID MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS MUST OF BEEN BROKE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
