About LinkBacksHey all - I went to a Verizon Wireless store today to buy a new body glove case for my Droid.Loving it so far.
I also got a wall charger for my phone too. Usually I make sure everything is the right thing but the Verizon Wireless rep seemed like he knew what he was talking about so I trusted him picking the right charger.
but
When I got home I see that the wall charger is Output: 5.0V === 550mA. Whereas the charger that came with my Droid - 5.1V === 850mA.
Will the 550mA charger work for my Droid?

02-11-2010 05:13 PMI'd say it will since the VZW rep gave it to you......although, you might wanna call them and have them clarify to you if that would work or not before using it....

02-11-2010 09:21 PMThanks for the info all. I like the fact that this charger has a long cord - whereas the original droid charger has a really short USB cable. I don't mind the longer charge times as I just charge it every night anyway. Just making sure it was safe for my phone.
Btw... I got it for free because the store I went to was having a special (buy an accessory get one free).
Thanks! -

02-11-2010 09:25 PMI have the same view as you...it's charging all night, so it really doesn't matter how fast it charges. I do have a 1 amp charger for rapid charging needs though.

02-12-2010 06:07 AMNot really worried just curious as to why they are so cheap. Weren't some faulty Droid cases branded by Verizon being pushed on ebay for super cheap not to long ago?
