About LinkBacksSolar Battery Charger For Verizon Motorola Droid A855 - eBay (item 280437266439 end time Jan-10-10 06:20:21 PST)
I saw this and really like it but want to make sure it won't fry or kill my droid. It's coming from China and the charger seems to come with a billion "converters" to make it compatible with a lot of things. I'm not an electrician, but I know the Droid comes with a 5.1V, 850mA charger but when you plug it in to your computer you're getting 5.0V, 500mA (which is the official USB spec). Does the solar charger fit into this mold? Thanks

12-13-2009 11:42 AMI'd say that if it's a third-party charger, it's prolly gonna cause you some grief while it's plugged in.
Seems to be the consensus around here."The only verdict is vengence; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and voracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous." -

12-13-2009 01:03 PMIf you look at what it includes, it does not include a micro-usb adapter. So no you cannot use it with the droid. Even though it touts you can.
Resistance is futile.

12-13-2009 03:40 PMThere is something similar but just isn't a solar powered pack. It's a battery pack which can be charged on it's own, and then be used for power for the droid. I believe the battery in it is also a 1400mAh so it will supply a good amount of power. I just can't remember the dang name. It's been mentioned on this site a few times. Originally Posted by xxfire
