USB to micro USB charging question

I was about to buy an in-car charger for my 9630. Since i have an in-car usb port, I;m wondering if I can just get a USB to microUSB cable, connect the phone to the car, and get a charge. Thanks,
jwp48

yes provided the voltage and amperage delivered by your in-car charger matches the requirement of the 9630. go to shopblackberry and look at the playbook charger, it is compatible with the 9630 and has the voltage you want as well as a very highh amperage that brings no harm to a 9630.
- the voltage of your in-car must be the same.
- the amperage of your in-car is okay if it is below the PlayBook charger's amperage.

  • DIY USB Charger question

    I am planning on making my own USB charger to charge my new iPhone 5S and potentially an iPad and wish to know some specifics in order to have them charge at the maximum rate. I already know that on a standard USB port, there are 4 pins involved; pin 1 is 5.00±0.25 VDC and pin 4 is ground, but pins 2 and 3 vary in voltage differences for data. To my understanding, the charge control circuitry is located in the iPhone or iPad. A standard USB data port on a computer only allows a 500mA drain, which would take forever to charge a nearly dead iPhone or iPad. Again, to my understanding, if the device doesn't know what the amp-rating of the USB port, it will assume it is 500mA and do a trikle charge. In order to know that it can charge at a heavier draw or faster rate, different voltages are applied to the Data- and Data+ pins. I found someone had once posted that if 2.02VDC were applied to Data- (pin 2) and 2.73VDC to Data+ (pin 3), it would tell the device it was capable of supplying 10 Watts (2 amps or 2,000 mA). I see that there are now chargers rated for 15 Watts and curious what voltages should be applied to pins 2 & 3 to let the device know it can provide 15 Watts or 3 amps.
    My plan is to convert 13.8VDC from my car battery to 5VDC using a voltage regulator, then using voltage dividers with varying resistors calculated to provide the proper voltage to pins 2 & 3.

    The problem with that is they don't make a device for installing in the dash of a car to provide USB ports. I am wanting to eliminate external converters and use a Lightning-to-USB cable to go from the dash to the device. I can ensure that my USB plug will provide the standard 5VDC within standard deviation of ±0.25 VDC. As Data- and Data+ are signals to tell charging circuit available current and the fact (that Rudegar pointed out) current is pulled, not pushed, it should not do any damage to device. The problem with some charging devices is their specifications for voltage vary too much... it could be 6 volts or 4 volts... 6 volts is over the deviation of 0.25 volts. I would bench test my circuitry before installing to ensure voltages are exact.
    Granted, I could just go measure the voltages on these pins on the block that came with my iPhone 5s, I was just hoping that someone here knew the information and I wouldn't have to reverse-engineer.

  • USB Charger question

    Hey, everyone.
    I just wanna know if the new iPod wall charger works on 20 voltage.
    Thanks to those who will fill me in about this.

    I think you are missing a digit there somewhere. So I am not sure if you are asking about 120V or 220V or 240V or ... etc.
    But generally, the Appe branded wall charger will use any world input voltage which means 100-240V. I was not aware there was a new model out, but if there is, I am sure it is like the old/current model where it supports that same full range of input voltages.

  • USB charging question

    i know it says "install the software before pluging in" but can you plug the Nano in to any computer to charge it or not? i know it would be easyer to buy an A/C charger but i was just wondering.....

    you should be able to plug it into any computer, tho i'm not 100% sure.

  • USB Charger question (Zen vision

    is there anyway to plug in ur Zen to the computer WITHOUT letting it charge (just to transfer files and stuff) ? wouldnt it ruin the battery if i connect it to the comp then disconnect it quickly ( like 0 min later) and then do the same againwith the battery not fully depleted?
    Thanks

    Xylem0,
    No, I'm afraid you can't stop the player from charging when it's connected to the computer.

  • Zen MIcro:Auto power off and USB charg

    i wanna know whether the zen micro has an auto off feature. also, can it be charged via USB?Thanx

    When you say auto off, do you mean that it turns off when it's idle? If so, then yes, it does. Otherwise post up more detail and I'm sure someone can answer your question.
    The Zen Micro can charge over USB aswell, but remember this will take longer than with the power adapter.

  • Zen Micro and Usb Charging - I don't want

    Hi all,
    i have the Zen micro 5gb with .02.05 firmware.
    My question is :
    Is there a way to disable the Usb Charging ?
    My question is strange i know... but i really don't want the Usb charging ...
    I've tryed to connect open and closed but it charge anyway ...
    please help
    Edit: Ops i've putted "Keep this message at the top of the board list" and i don't know if is good .. sorry Message Edited by globalspace on 04-3-2005 0:59 PM

    The Dell DJ's dont have this, and were dying to get this option..... Now there are complaints on not to have it's? :S
    And like SSR said, it does not affect the battery as the type that is used is one that can be recharged hundreds of times (and by the time the battery is ready to die out your player will die out of your mind as you will most likely have a new one by then).

  • Zen Micro USB Charger quest

    I have a Zen Micro 6gb. I also have a Belkin travel kit that I bought for my Sony PDA. The kit comes with a cable that connects to the PDA on one end and the USB on the other. It also came with a auto and home adapter. The adapters have a USB port so that the USB end of the cable plugs into the adapter and it becomes a charger.
    My question is does anyone think this may work for my ZM. If I plug the USB cable from the ZM into the auto or home adapter, would it charge the ZM without damaging it.
    As info the specs on the adapters are:
    Auto
    Input : 2 - 24Vdc
    Output: 5.5Vdc; 700mA
    Home
    Input: 00 - 240VAC; 0.3A
    Output: 5.5Vdc; .0A

    I just got this off Ebay. its only like $9. comes with the Zen stand, whcich looks pretty wack and the belt clip piece, also garbage. and I got 2 black zen baggies. All creative made. Took like 7 days to get to me in NY.
    Its got a big ol connector for the wall but its all good. Taking it to my girl's house tonite to see how it does. If you want, Wait till I try it out tonight, Ill give you the update.
    Your welcome
    And an additional battery for your zen is another $5. I think its a good deal.Message Edited by nu_guy on 0-06-2006 2:4 AM
    Hey that Zen charger that I showed from ebay is the **bleep**. Its like 3X faster than the computer usb charger. Both chargers are usb. It comes wit the dock plus stand + belt clip. its dirt cheap too. cant go wrong. peace.
    and I hope ypur zen dont jack up friend. good luck. remember you want to have the zen for at least 2 years. or maybe u dont.

  • Zen Micro USB chargi

    Never have I had more difficulty finding an answer to a rather simple question...
    Can the Zen Micro charge via USB?
    I searched the knowledge base here, and found one article that was a FAQ for the Zen Micro that indicated it would answer the issue of "USB Charging" but does not do so.
    I'll ask the question here:
    Can the Zen Micro charge via USB?
    If not, Creative, then why not . . . my original Nomad charges via USB as do its successors.
    Thanks
    Artie

    Yes it does. I just left it plugged in last night after exhausting the battery and transferring music and this morning it had a full charge.

  • Can I use Micro-USB Charger for Nokia C5?

    I am planning to buy Nokia C5.
    According to http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/power/chargers/nokia-micro-usb-cha... it says that Nokia Micro-USB Charger AC-6 is compatible for Nokia C5, is that true?
    Because I thought Nokia C5 uses the AC-8 charger.

    Yes, C5-00 supports charging via its Micro-USB port, this one should work with it.

  • Micro USB/Charging Port...

    Is it possible to use the charging port on the side of my Q10 as an extra data port? Can I use a micro usb drive as an external media storage device and access it through the port when I insert the stick, or is it just a charging port?

    I highly recommend every Playbook owner have a rapid charger. It is far superior to the USB charger and prevents the problem you have already encountered. Alternatively, I prefer the charging dock. It uses the same charging port as the rapid charger. I just bought one a few days ago for $13. Here is a link:
    http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Rapid-Charging-Stand-Playbook/dp/B004XDTXZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=...
    It comes with everything you need to charge it. Both chargers do the same thing. I just prefer the dock.

  • Micro-USB charger AC-50E makes squeeks when chargi...

    Hi,
    I have a micro-USB charger AC-50E that cam with my Lumia 800, it charges but the squeeking sound it makes while charging is driving me crazy. When I unplug my phone the squeeking stops.
    Is this a known problem, is this a malfunction? I still have warrantee can I replace it with another charger?
    best regards,
    unclebenz

    I presume your charger is emitting a high pitch whine. Only time I've ever experienced this mytself was when I used a charger on a socket with a dimmer switch. It seems transformers can whine when the input voltage is not right. However, it could also indicate a fault with the charger itself. I suggest trying the charger on other wall sockets in your own house or at work, friends house etc. If it only whines in  a particular socket or in your house then you might want to get your wiring checked out. On the other hand, if it whines everywhere then you might want to get it checked out before your warranty runs out.   

  • Micro USB charging current

    Hi I have a Nokia E52, which has micro USB charger, I just got an HP TouchPad which also has micro USB charger, but TouchPad charger is rated at 2A output, my Nokia AC-10X is rated at 1200mA output.
    Is it safe to plug my E52 into the TouchPad charger?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If I understand correctly, you're looking to carry just one AC charger instead of two?  The amperage (current) isn't what's important, but the voltage.  My E73 charger is rated at 5V and 1200 mA, and may be the same as yours.  If your HP charger also puts out 5V, then it can't do any harm.  Your E52 will draw just the 1200 mA it needs and no more.  (You can confirm this if you've ever seen a universal charger.  These offer a switchable voltage setting, but never a switchable amperage.  They would have sufficient amperage output for most small electronics, and again, the device draws only what it needs.)
    But the above doesn't mean it will work with your E52.  Dell laptop chargers, for example, include a custom chip that has yet to be duplicated by makers of universal laptop chargers.  This prevents third party chargers from charging Dell laptop batteries...and is one of the reasons I recommend that people don't buy from Dell.   So screwy things can still happen.
    But I see no harm in trying.  Good luck!

    Not all variants.
    Agree.  The two Asha bought in Australia do not charge using USB via computer or car cigarette lighter.
