Default Power point shortage

I've built up quite a sizeable amount of kit for using in my car, and am having power problems.

I've got the following:
- iPaq 2215, with Fortuna Bluetooth GPS
- Nokia 6230
- iPod 20GB 3rdG

In terms of mounting, I've got the complete Brodit set for my Clio - 2 x Dashboard mount and 1 x Angled mount, with Active holders for all - quite an expensive option, but great look, and easy to use!

The problem I have now is that for long journey's I need to have all three plugged into the power side of things. I've tried a splitter type unit, which I bought from a car-boot, that acts as a sort of adapter, however it doesn't provide enough power to the iPaq or iPod for them to stay charged.

I'm thinking I've got one of two options:
- buy an adapter that will work: however I can't seem to find anything that matches what I want; or
- think about a bit of tinkering with the car, and fit a couple of extra cigarette lighter fittings, or something along those lines.

Can anyone make any recomendations?

Cheers
Nunners

We sell triple cigarette socket adapters which I find work very well in the car. Perhaps the one you bought from the car boot was not a good quality model?
