Powered mount

When I charge the XT with the cord in back it charges up and works normally. It will not charge on the powered mount, goes dim and shuts off when the battery runs down. the pins on the powered mount are showing 12V. If it is off and I plug it in to the powered mount it turns on, but it ins not charging.
any thoughts, recommendations?

The voltage coming from the mount should be 5 volts.

You should never see 12V at the XT mount pins. The small box on the cord should be dropping the 12V vehicle voltage down to 5V.

Is there a mix of XT and XT2 here? The XT mount is 5V. The XT2 mount is 12V.
The XT2 can be used in an XT mount, with some limitations due to insufficient power.
The XT can not be used in an XT2 mount.
