    Question Passthrough question.

    Do you think I can use my USB passthrough by connecting it via a mp3 charger to the wall socket? I have been charging my batteries this way without any problems.

    Edit: should be mp3 wall socket to USB adaptor.

    Sonnet--it depends on what the mA output is--Ideally it sould be 5V 1Amp --most chargers only put out .5 mA's---so check the output rating.

    Good point Sun. Electricity never made much sense to me, lol. Cheched my iPod adapter I've been using and it states the output as 5V 1A. So it should work , right?

    There is actually a dual usb wall adapter that is very inexpensive:
    USB Dual Power Adapter

    I was leery at first but I ordered it and it works great with the passthrough as well as with charging (under $4 after shipping to CA). Hope this helps!

    I ordered 2 of those 8 days ago and haven't heard a thing from the vendor.
    Guess I'll email them.

    How quickly did yours arrive? Did you get any confirm/shipping notice/etc?

    Thanks
