Hi all,
I have various chargers at home for the various pieces of kit we have.
My Asus Transformer tf101 has a charger which outputs at 15V, 1.2A
We have other chargers for phones & another tablet all with usb sockets on them.
An HTC outputs 5V, 1A
An Alcatel outputs 5V, 350mA
A Lenovo outputs 5V, 1.5A
Can anyone confirm my understanding about which charger to use and when, please?
I believe that if I use a charger with a LOWER voltage & amerage output than that delivered by the dedicated device charger, that it will NOT damage the device I charge with it - but it will probably take longer to charge. Is this correct?
So I shouldn't use my tf101 charger with anything other than my transformer tablet because it is 15v. But would it be OK to mix any of the other chargers around as they are all 5V? EG could I safely use the HTC charger on the Lenovo? Does the output amperage figure matter, or just the voltage?
Presumably I could use the 5V chargers on the tf101 - but it would take 3 times longer to charge? Could I use the Lenovo charger on the tf101 or would the higher amperage damage the transformer, even though the voltage is lower.
Advice please, helpful members
