i'm running the nexus 7 2013 with the latest 4.3.1. but the tablet is actually draining faster than it can charge. is this normal for anyone? i was hoping to leave the tablet in the dash most of the time, but at the rate it drops i would have to take it out every few days to recharge it completely. i did figure that the gps was eating it up, but even after disabling it the tablet still drains, albeit slower than before. i'm using this charger:

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088U4YAG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Amazon.com: PowerGen 4.2Amps / 20W Dual USB Car charger Designed for Apple and Android Devices: Cell Phones & Accessories[/ame]

so theoretically it should be fine, but i'm wondering if the current jellybean update chargers differently now. i'm not opposed to buying either of the inverters that others have posted here, but i'd rather not spend more money if i don't have to, especially if it ends up doing the same thing as it is now.... any thoughts would be appreciated.
