Blackberry mains charger ?

[Guest jonmac73]

Hi all,

managed to source a Blackberry mains charger - wondering if safe to use on OSF. Someone told me they overvolt and can damage other phones ............ hmmmm not sure. Specs below.

Thanks in advance

Blackberry:

MODEL: PSM04R-050CHW1(M)

INPUT: 100-240V ~ 150mA 50-60Hz 10-20VA

OUTPUT: 5V _ 700mA

OSF UK:

MODEL:STC-A22050I700USBA-B

INPUT: 100-240V ~ 50-60Hz 200mA

OUTPUT: 5.0V _ 700mA

Going from your quoted specs, what's coming out the end of the mini USB connector on both is 700mA at 5 volts, so it sounds fine :D

Anything

coming out of USB, and going to the USB cable,

or

A charger with a micro USB end

Will do, no problem. Because these are all standard.

Thanks - thought it would be OK.

I am using all kinds of different micro-USB chargers with my OSF, including a charger from my Blackberry 9780. No problem, works fine.

Not true B)

Someone here fried their device when his Micro USB car charger sent about 12v to his phone :D

No idea what that charger was originally for

"Always check the label"

Micro USB is standard.

On the other hand, micro USB is only a connector.

Any device manufacturer can use it as a connector for connecting 2 devices, other than as a Micro USB standard device.

In that sense you are quite right.

yes it's me ;)

Yes, you should always check first. It reminds me of some old chargers I saw once that were a plug on one end and a 3.5mm jack on the other. You don't wanna go sticking that thing into your walkman!
