Car Charger?

[William Kenworthy]

Try forcing it to 500ma using one of the battery.py scripts on the wiki.
I used a car charger yesterday (650ma) that didnt even show as plugged
in until I forced it to 500ma and then it was fine.  However, its
useless for jump starting/trickle charging as the phone must be up to
turn it on - as I found out when the battery drained ... :(
