Amazon Kindle Power Adapter + Micro USB Cable (Like New) @Amazon - $1.99 + FSSS/Prime

Didn't order because of shipping rates. It was almost $10 for one. WTF? I know these were FSSS, but I don't really want to spend $20 to save what should be $2 or $3.

Quote from dorkino : I imagine so. It says it works with latest generation Kindle. My wife uses the same cord to charge her regular Kindle, Kindle Fire HD, and cell phone. It's a standard micro-USB connection.

Thanks for the info. repped

Quote from myamex : It works, but it would charge much slower. You are better off getting a 5V 2A adapter.

cool..thanks

I don't know where I'd be without Prime. Probably a lot wealthier.

And to the post above re: a 2A adapter, what is the max amperage that these devices can handle? Because I imagine at some point you run the risk of overheating or otherwise frying something at too high of a current. Edit: Looks like an official 1.8A adapter is available for $20, so I suppose they can handle at least that much. http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Powe...y_e_text_y

I think this is still a slick deal nonetheless, especially since the cable is not permanently attached to the power adapter.

You can't hurt a device by using it with a power source with a higher current rating. The device will only draw the maximum current it can use. Its voltage where you need to watch out. Plugging a hairdryer that's designed for 110V into a 220V power source, for example, is bad mojo. Using a 10A charger to charge a device that only draws 2A, though, won't hurt a thing.

Note: You can damage a device by using a charger with a lower maximum current rating than the device being charged will draw, like using a 10A device with a 2A charger. Generally, it's not dangerous to do this with cell phone chargers, but I'd worry with a laptop or larger resistor based appliance.

Ah ok, so it's more like the device is pulling the power rather than the adapter pushing it to the device. And the rating is the max it can provide. Got it. Ty!

So now I wonder, how would we know how much the device can actually pull? How would we determine the cut off point where the adapter is overkill? I guess someone could hook a Kill-A-Watt or multimeter up to the device while it's charging on an adapter that's probably too high rated for it, and see exactly how much current it pulls. Or is this info buried somewhere in the tech specs...

Usually the minimum current draw is printed on the electrical specs of a product. Cell phone manufacturers don't bother with this because minimum draw depends on what features of the phone are being used. In other words, the phone will draw a maximum amount for charging the battery, but it will also draw extra power to power the cellular connection, wifi, GPS, the screen, or whatever else is running. As a safety feature, too, many smart phones have built in limiters restricting current draw. The S3, for example, can only draw (if I remember right) 0.9A maximum--a "feature" that has a lot of SGS3 users, myself included, rather annoyed, as 0.9A isn't enough to keep the phone afloat indefinitely while using turn-by-turn navigation and playing music through a Bluetooth connection at the same time (with the screen on).

Basically, as long as your using a charger that provides voltage and current for which the device is rated, it should work. Higher current will charge a battery faster if the device will draw it, but there's no way to tell without trying it how much current a device can handle. It depends on a lot of factors, including the charger being used, the cable, the circuitry of the device being charged, and other electrical draws inside that device.

boo hoo all sold out. damn this stupid flight
