it just won't 'kick in' charging

You have probably figured out it may only serve to keep a charged battery, full while running

O yeap, I just found out this. The charger did not really charge the pda, even when the indicator showed 100%, because when I brought it back to be charged with AC charger, it took a while (about 3-4 minutes) for the LED to become static again (I guessed it was not fully charged at all).
I've asked many local users in a local forum, they said a car charger of 5V output is very rare. Most available in incremental 1.5V.
HP car chargers are all "cable" type and not for use with cradle.
I have a USB car adaptor. This only "maintain" the battery level, even insufficient to maintain it when I run mapking or mp3s, and does not seems to serve any function when I have the backlight ON.
Since I wish very much to use the cradle in my car, my only option now is to use this USB car adaptor, at least to reduce the rate of power drops, maybe.
I'm wondering whether is it ok to use 6V?
By the way, Menneisys, I read ur article on storage card optimization. Very helpful. What a great work, indeed. I formatted my 1G tanscend 80X SD card with SKTool using FAT16 32K cluster size no backup table. I think got faster now, however, the card becomes "not instantly ready" when I turn my PDA ON. I can't access programs installed in storage card thru' assigned buttons when the PDA is OFF (I meant Standby). How can I solve his?
Thank you.
