Charging Sansa Clip + Question (With mini USB charger of mobile phone)

[lousseau]

:smileyvery-happy: Rest assured, I will charge overnight only when necessary, because I share your superstition with electronics…

that’s why I was always checking the “info” waiting for the 100% that would not come quickly enough for the scared me

With the sun being more & more active creating those electronic-devices-threatening storms, I won’t take any chances–even if I always use surge protectors, they have their limits.

Thanks again!

I have a charger from a Garmin GPS that says…

Input: 10~30 VDC / max 1A

output: 4.9~5.2 VDC / 1A (1000 mA obviously GO METRIC)

Fuse Type: 1.0A / 250V(UL)

From this thread I’ve learned that even though USB usually sends out 0.5A it’s OK to use a 1A charger

BUT

What’s with the 4.9~5.2VDC

Are most chargers like this? Just AROUND 5V but not EXACTLY 5V?

I don’t want to fry my Clip+.

is it ok if i charged my sansa clip+ with my handphone charger with the following output:
5.0VDC 850mA? 

I have read the previous replies that 500mA above is ok, but 850mA seems to be kinda far from 500mA, so i wonder if its ok to use it?

Thank you very much sir!! Really appreciate your reply
