Cheapest charger/ storage for TOMTOM ONE?

Well, I finally got my TT ONE from Currys online yesterday (now I just have to chase them to pricematch the new lower prices!).

Now I want to get hold of a decent charger (so I can charge it in the house), and a case to keep it in.

I know TOMTOM do their own. I also know they’re ridiculously overpriced for what they are.

Can anyone give any guidance as to a suitable place to buy a cheap charger that would be compatible with the ONE?

Also, anyone found any decent storage pack to keep the TOMTOM in?

Any 5V charger which will also charge an ipaq should do the job.

Hi fisher

I also got my Tom Tom One a few days ago from Argos.
Argos sell a multi adapter for £8.00 I think but I bought a second hand one from Ebay. I have not received it yet but cant see why it should not work.

A word of caution regarding non specific chargers : Make sure the polarity of the centre pin is correct ..Most things have a little diagram on them showing if the pin is +ve or -ve!

Comet sell the Tom Tom charger for £19.99.

The cheapest place I have seen the bag for the One is on the Tom Tom site itself.

Quite a few places sell them, e.g. £14.99 including VAT + £2.99 P&P:

This may not be the cheapest though, make sure you look around.

A psp charger will work also, if you happen to have one lying around that is !

You could try ASDA

They do a multi voltage transformer for about £5. it gives 300 Milli-ampers. I slid the selector to 4.5V no probs at all.

There are different size adapters that come with the mains transformer, it and there's is one that fits TomTom perfectly.

NOTE: On the side of the adapter it can go in two ways + or -

(Check this with the picture on the bottom of the Tom Tom)

It says TIP printed on the side of the plug... put the adapter in so TIP is +

Hope that helps
