An ac adapter converts ac current into dc current through a rectifier, and a battery charger outputs dc current at an adjustable powerful charging rate and also converts ac current to dc current to charge different sizes of batteries.

Can a Blackberry cell phone AC power adapter be used with a Garmin GPS device?
The specifications for both the AC adapter and the requirements for the Garmin (or the specifications for the AC adapter for that Garmin) would have to be known. Even if they were compatible, an "adapter" would have to be fabricated to fit on the end of the AC adapter and "convert" that plug (changing its "size" and, if necessary, its polarity) to one compatible with the Garmin. Either that or the plug on the end of the Blackberry adapter would have to be replaced with one that fits the Garmin. And then the adapter won't fit the Blackberry. : Yes it can. My Blackberry car charger works fine with the Garmin 255WT so the pin outs and polarity are the same. The plug fit was somewhat loose and occasionally disconnects if wiggled. : The easy way to check compatibility is to find out if there is a generic charger that works for both devices. If there is then the original cord will likely work for both as well. (As long as the generic charger does not use two different adapter plugs for the two devices you are trying to hook up)
