CyberPower CPTUC01 Travel USB Charger - FAR + FS @ TigerDirect.com

Quote from Sandman333 : Just got mine in the mail and tested it out. The back side of the charger says: 5Vdc, max 0.5A for AC 5Vdc, max 0.8A for DC I took measurements using: https://play.google.com/store/app...dget&hl=en On AC my Xperia X10 charged at 500-600mA On DC my Xperia X10 charged at 950-1050mA The maximum I have ever seen my phone charge is ~1100mA, so this charger might be able to supply more current with a more power-hungry device Plugged into my computer I usually see 350-400mA. So either way this is a pretty quick charger, but it really excels on DC.

be careful tho, it might be able to supply the larger current, but going over the rated amperage might just burn out the charger

Though I have no way of ruling out this kind of failure, I find it highly doubtful that the charger is capable of supplying current that will damage it. If it was, every consumer that plugged in a modern smart phone would have broken it. Many of them would have posted scathing reviews.

I wasn't forcing my phone to draw that much, that's just what it draws whenever it is connected to a source capable of supplying it. They may have only rated it for 0.8A because when it's hot in a car it will encounter a thermal limit and automatically scale down its current.

I submitted the online form for rebate after ordering and printer it but misplace the print out.
Where to take the printout of the form again ?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Received my charger yesterday and looking at the packaging at the back, it says "Tether Cord (Included)."

What tether cord? I don't see any tether cord in the package, and I suspect this may be a mistake in the printing?

I don't see it too, anyone know what it is

Quote from Tingke1988 : I don't see it too, anyone know what it is

I presume at one time they included a lanyard to go into the lanyard hole on the charger. I imagine they realized that noone wanted to carry a usb charger on their wrist or neck, so they stopped including it.

Received an email from them stating that my claim is now processing:

Received my $10 AMEX debit card yesterday in the mail.

Received my $10 Amex GC today. One of the quickest mail-in rebates I have ever received.

Mine is already broken! What great quality. Rebate denied as well.

NEVER EVER AGAIN!

Rebates are such a carrot at the end of a looong stick.
