    I have a small problem with the Navitel T700 3G tablet hardware, and more precisely with the charger and service.

    After several (about 8) hours of operation in the truck (24 V), the message "Charging voltage too high. Disconnect the charger" appeared.

    I disconnected it, after some time I connected it, but the effect was similar. I connected another charger and the problem disappeared.

    The stairs began when trying to repair (replace) the charger which of the declared 2A can deliver max 460 mA,

    and it has power surges.

    The website said that I was to send the complete device, I asked the source, i.e. on the Navitel website, and I got it

    information that

    The procedure proposed by w-support.pl is correct - in the first batch of devices there was a problem with charging the device
    - this was resolved with a software update. Therefore, in this type of notifications it is necessary to send the entire set.


    For several years I have been dealing with electronics only amateurs and probably I'm not exactly "on the subject"

    So I would like to ask if it is possible that in times of standardized USB power supply someone sells devices

    with software that does not work with the factory hardware?

    Other chargers (12-24 or mains) do not cause any problems.

    I have some concerns after reading customer comments or sending the device

    which works without any signs of abnormality.

    Can anyone advise if the tablet may have a problem with only one charger?

    If the problem occurs with one charger, it means it is damaged. I had such a case with the SE K770i phone, when the capacitor in the charger from it was damaged and there was a message that the charger is not original.

    I think so too, but why do the service and the manufacturer say that in the territory of the Republic of Poland there is for sale equipment with defective software that prevents cooperation with the factory hardware and should be sent for update immediately after purchase,
    It would not be strange for me if some device did not accept "foreign" chargers,
    but that it does not work with the factory and the service necessarily wants to rummage in a working device
    is at least suspicious for me

    It is not the fault of the charger, but of the connecting cable. Contacts D + and D- must be properly connected

    Factory charger, cable permanently.
    The cable would have to be connected incorrectly during assembly. And the "miracles" started after about 8 hours of work under the voltage of about 28 V. Navitel T700 3G - Displays the message "Too high charging voltage"

    Are the contacts switching badly during use?
    There is no philosophy. I have no chance of repair or replacement anyway. I will replace the capacitors and test

    This 220 uF looks bad.
    However, I am puzzled by the behavior of Navitel and service employees who persistently wanted to rummage in the tablet software.

    ... how was I supposed to know that you have a permanent cable with a charger? You did not inform about this in the first post.

    I informed you that it should be like that, because you also wrote about other chargers. What do you complain about?

    I have no complaints.
    In the first topic, I wrote that I connected a different charger and the problem disappeared.
    I assumed that the charger went but I wanted to make sure because the website messed me up with this software a bit. In fact, this is not the first time that a device declared as 12-24V does not last. In this case, I thought that since it is a mid-range equipment and not the cheapest travel, it might work.
    Apparently I was wrong.

    If it's yellow underneath it, it's not glue and the damage and guts came out of it, then it's rather damaged. Better to invest in some UNITEK, SAMSUNG or BASEUS branded charger

    Everything is fine, the charger can be repaired for a few pennies. But if the navigation was under warranty, the warranty is void when the charger is tampered with. The service is always given the whole received. When buying a phone, we get a phone, charger, USB cable, headphones and returning to repair, they must be these 4 things and it doesn't matter that it's only broken 1. I wish that nothing would be damaged in the navigation and that it would not have to be serviced ever.

    A few posts above, I wrote that the navigation is efficient and works normally with other chargers for over a month, so it probably will be fine. I sent a lot of things for repair and it was different about the service requirements, but in this case my vigilance was aroused by a story about a bug. I looked for opinions about this site and found out a lot of interesting things.
    As for the conditions of use or the warranty, there is no mention of dedicated power sources.
    It is about 5V 2A power supply.
    Here I wanted to know if it is possible that the device may have "allergies" to certain power sources.
    And even if the navigation fails, you will have to send back the charger, not necessarily the one that was in the box because, unlike devices, they do not have serial numbers. In some cases, chargers, cables and handles are not covered by the warranty.
    For now, I will use a replacement and "fight" with the manufacturer. The new charger costs about 40 coins and that's probably why the website wants to repair the navigation under warranty on this fault, and I will rather not risk sending them working equipment, as many reckless customers whose reviews I read did.

    After the correspondence was exchanged between the so-called W-Support service, which still required a maniac to deliver the tablet and the manufacturer, Navitel, after receiving photos of the charger interior, decided to send a new one.

Topic summary

✨ The Navitel T700 3G tablet user reported a "Charging voltage too high" error after prolonged use with a 24V power source. The issue was traced to a faulty charger that could only deliver 460 mA instead of the required 2A, leading to power surges. The user attempted to resolve the issue by using a different charger, which worked without problems. Concerns were raised about the manufacturer's service, which suggested sending the entire device for a software update due to known issues with early batches. Discussions included potential damage to the charger or cable connections, with suggestions to replace capacitors and use reliable brands like UNITEK, SAMSUNG, or BASEUS for chargers. The user ultimately received a new charger from Navitel after providing evidence of the original charger's condition.

FAQ

TL;DR: A factory “2A” car charger delivered only 460 mA and triggered “Charging voltage too high,” and Navitel said early units needed a software update. “The procedure…is correct—problem…resolved with a software update.” [Elektroda, Jacko9, post #16923956]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps Navitel T700 3G owners quickly diagnose charger vs. tablet faults and decide repair vs. replace.

Quick Facts

Why does my Navitel T700 3G say “Charging voltage too high”?

The message points to charger-side issues or overvoltage exposure. In one case, it appeared after about 8 hours on a 24 V truck supply. Connecting a different charger cleared the warning, confirming the original charger as the cause. Try another known‑good charger first. [Elektroda, Jacko9, post #16923956]

Can a tablet have problems with only one specific charger?

Yes. A faulty charger can trigger warnings or refuse to charge while other chargers work fine. One user noted, “If the problem occurs with one charger, it means it is damaged,” referencing a past phone case with a bad capacitor. Replace or repair the suspect charger. [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16923983]

Could USB data line wiring (D+ and D−) cause charging errors?

Yes. USB charging often relies on correct D+ and D− configuration to negotiate current. Miswired or damaged lines can force low current or errors. An expert advised that D+ and D− must be properly connected. Inspect fixed cables for damage, and test with a charger known to have correct wiring. [Elektroda, Freddy, post #16924346]

Is my charger bad if it outputs only 460 mA instead of 2 A?

Yes. A factory charger rated 2 A but delivering around 460 mA with surges is failing. Low current and instability increase heat, trip protection, and trigger system warnings. Replace the charger to restore normal charging speed and stability. This statistic indicates a substantial performance shortfall. [Elektroda, Jacko9, post #16923956]

Why did support ask for the whole set and mention a software update?

Navitel stated early devices had a charging issue fixed via software and that full sets should be sent for such notifications. This ensures proper diagnosis of both charger and tablet firmware. “The procedure…is correct…resolved with a software update.” Follow service instructions if they suspect early-batch firmware. [Elektroda, Jacko9, post #16923956]

What charger component commonly fails in car adapters?

Electrolytic capacitors often fail, especially under automotive voltage stress and heat. A 220 µF capacitor showing yellow residue or bulging indicates damage. One expert advised replacing it and suggested buying reputable brands like UNITEK, SAMSUNG, or BASEUS for reliability. “Better to invest in some…branded charger.” [Elektroda, gradek83, post #16925740]

Will opening or repairing the charger void my warranty?

Yes. Tampering with the charger typically voids warranty coverage. Services often require returning the entire set (device, charger, cable, accessories) even if only one item is faulty. If under warranty, avoid opening the charger and follow the return procedure. [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16925876]

How can I troubleshoot before sending the tablet to service?

Try this: 1. Test with a different 5 V/2 A charger to isolate the fault. 2. Photograph the suspect charger’s internals if safe and non‑invasive. 3. Share photos with support when requesting a replacement. A user received a new charger after sending clear internal photos. [Elektroda, Jacko9, post #17020922]

Is a 24 V truck system risky for these car chargers?

Automotive systems can reach around 28 V while running, stressing 12–24 V chargers. In the reported case, warnings started after roughly 8 hours at about 28 V. This edge case can accelerate capacitor failure and reduce output current stability. Use robust, well‑rated adapters. [Elektroda, Jacko9, post #16924492]

What replacement charger should I buy for Navitel T700 3G?

Choose a reputable 12–24 V car adapter delivering steady 5 V/2 A. Community recommendations included UNITEK, SAMSUNG, or BASEUS. Quality parts and good thermal design improve longevity in trucks and cars. Avoid no‑name units that skimp on capacitors and filtering. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #16925740]

Does the tablet work normally with other chargers?

Yes. The tablet ran normally with other chargers for over a month, confirming the device itself was fine. This points directly to a defective original charger. Continue using a stable replacement and monitor for any new alerts. [Elektroda, Jacko9, post #16926114]

Why would service insist on software checks if the charger looks bad?

They aim to rule out the early-batch firmware issue that affected charging. Their process requires the entire set to verify hardware and software together. The manufacturer explicitly described this procedure and its rationale. Quotes referenced this exact policy. [Elektroda, Jacko9, post #16923956]
