I just had the phone plugged overnight to an Nokia thin-plug Nokia wall wart charger (890 mA) via the CA-146C, and the phone did stay charged through the night. So, I'm beginning to suspect that the old Insmat car charger and the CA-146C just don't like each other.

Update: I looked closer at the Insmat, and it says it only delivers 500 mA. This could well be what the problem is! I'll get a new 1000 mA MicroUSB charger for the car, let's see if it works any better.

Further update: Interesting, Nokia's own MicroUSB charger only delivers 550 mA. I now have a Nokia round plug charger DC-4, which is also supposed to deliver 890 mA, let's see how well that works in the car with the CA-146C and the N900.
