I have an inverter in my car so I don't need to purchase a special auto charger, but I don't really want to carry the cradle around with me either. It appears that both the charger & sync cables plug into the cradle via mini-USB ports, and that the cradle connects to the unit via the same.

I know that the connectors will fit-I tried it with the charger unplugged. Does anyone know whether they're electrically compatible? That is, does the cradle act as a converter or simply as a pass-thru?

What I'd like to do is simply carry the charger with me & leave the cradle at home. Will it work?

Thanks.

If you look on the UT Starcom adapter that came with your 6700 you will see that it is 5v dc. This is the same that is carried on the USB cable you are pluging into the PC. You should be able to use the adapter straight through..

Confirmed,

I just plugged it into my vx-6700 and it works just fine. Charging as I type this.

What I do is NEVER use the cradle (do not like the way it fits) I use a direct cable with standard to mini USB to connect/charge while at work and at home.

I then use a car charger to charge while mobile.

Thanks. I knew that you could charge it via USB but that would mean taking my laptop with me, charging it from the inverter and then charging the PPC from the laptop. Seemed sort of round-about; I'd rather just carry the cradle.

But it's nice to know that I don't need to carry either. Thanks.
