Here is what Garmin has to say about using the power cord plugged into the Astro and charging rechargeable batteries in the unit (not designed for that):

FYI- ONLY

Dear Kenny Gates,


Thank you for contacting Garmin International.


You would want the 12v adapter: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=1148


Unfortunately, the Astro isn't designed to charge the batteries. Once external power is connected, power is routed away from the batteries.


With Best Regards,

Original Message Follows: ------------------------

I see Garmin sales a 12V DC power cable for most GPS. Can I use this same cable to power my Astro while in my truck and Will it also charge the NiMH batteries you sale as well?

Thanks,
KG
