The Darwin From Evolv!!!

Nope, nothing wrong with charging it that way

[Credo]

Question: Any issues with plugging my Darwin into my computer USB 2.0 to charge it?? I have several USB cords around including mini and wondered if there were any hidden dangers of doing so.

EDIT: Found the answer I was looking for....seems to be fine to do. If wrong let me know before it arrives please....lol

Not a problem.

As a general rule of thumb, if you have a device that has a USB port on it, you can plug the Darwin into it and not fear damage to either device. If it is indeed built to USB specs, it will be within a tolerable set of specifications for any USB device.

Some 'older' laptops and computers with really old USB specs might not be up to today's standards (hence why some portable drives and stuff sometimes have 'two' plugs on them [one plug only has an extra 5v line and ground in it], or an 'optional' wall wart), and may charge really slowly, or not at all; however, most of it going to be fine. If your laptop or computer is no more than 3 years old, you should be in great shape...it's meant to drive portable hard drives and other power hungry things A few motherboards even have smart 'icharge boosters' on them for even faster charging.

Thanks for the replies all. I'm good with USB 2.0 then. I asked in case the Darwin had a "glitch" of some sort when it came to the port. Great device I'm sure....I don't wanna get talking about it too much only because I don't have it in hand yet and no need to get excited yet....lol....I'll save that for delivery day when I'm standing outside in 10 degree weather making sure USPS doesn't deliver to the wrong address as has happened to me before.....thanks again....

They were up for a very short while on Thursday, must not have been very many. I'm guessing from your post you didn't get one of those Chances are Drew only emailed the people that contacted him earliest if there were only a few, but I'm sure you'll get the notification the next time they show up. I know the waiting sucks, but it's worth it in the end. Hopefully it's not a long wait
