What charger does the Sansa Clip Zip take?

Hello: I bought my Sansa Clip Zip player a few years but on the player itself, what charger do I need? The other end would be USB 2.0. For example of what I am asking, micro USB to USB.

Either a computer (preferably a desk-top) with a USB port or one of any number of AC-USB chargers (like for a cell phone).

Like this one from Amazon? Or no? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00RVYJHAW/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1435173489&sr=8-9π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=ac-usb+cable

That’s a cord. You asked about a charger. A cord is not a charger. You can use the USB cord that came with the player. All you need is a computer or charger to plug it in to…

Oh, I am very very sorry. I meant what cord do I need not a charger? I really do apologize! :frowning: And yes, I do have a desktop PC, but what cord do I need? Is it micro USB-USB? Is it mini USB-USB?

The Zip has a micro USB connector.

Thank you!

Instead of buying that cable for $6, this $5.49 charger and cable combination is much more versatile. charging using a USB Ac adapter is faster than using a pc to charge. As already mentioned, if you have a micro usb charger for your cellphone, it would be good to use to charge your player. The standard for micro usb chargers is 5 volts. In all likelihood anything with a micro usb connector will be 5 volts, however you might want to check the charger first to make sure it says 5 volts on it before connecting it to the player.

I guess my phone could use a micro USB. Well, I could but I don’t. My charger I use is the micro USB 3.0 A-Male to Micro-B. It could use a standard Micro USB. I actually did not believe it so someone I know plugged his phone charger into my Galaxy S5 and it worked, but I use the charger that came with my phone.

The one I linked to is 850 mw.

OOPS.

“Just to keep things clear, 850 _ mA _ (microAmps).”

Now you made the error. It is 850 milliamps(thousandths of an amp)
