Remi,

I installed a 12 volt power socket and put in a double USB adaptor.  One side 
for
the iPad, the other for iPhone.  Works great, no noise.  Something like this:

There's a bunch of them available through Apple, Amazon, e-bay, etc.  And 
they're
not expensive.

Hi All,
I have purchased a 12V battery charger for my iPad. This morning I flight tested
it for the first time and was disappointed by the results:
1. The charger makes noise in the radio. The noise is  the same as when I push
the squelch button. I made some more testing and found that the noise was there
on any frequency below 126 MHz. No noise on any frequency above 126. Of course
I checked that the noise disappears as soon as I unplug the charger from the
cigarette lighter. 
2. The charging power is so low that it is just able to maintain the charging 
level
of the battery, unless the iPad is turned off. 
Any suggestion or comments?
Regards
Remi Guerner
