Tomtom & Garmin - Sat navs keep getting battery issues - Scott Raddon

Hi, i have now had 3 different sat navs, two tomtoms & one Garmin & all three have been replaced because of battery issues.

Is this pure coincidence or is it my car?

All have been using different power adapters into the cigarette lighter, one of which has been a USB one which charges other devices without issue. All seem to go wrong after three months or so.

My car is a 2008 Corsa design automatic 1.4.

Any help is greatly appriciated.
