The one in my car is 2A and it works just fine. It's OK to have more than the battery needs, but not less.

So it will be ok for me to use this charger then?

The scary part is that thing is only 20 minutes from my house and they just had an earthquake last month. They figured out they built it over a fault line, wonderful!
Ooops...that's some planning they did! So were they thinking that earthquakes only happen in Cali?

Will they never learn? The more things change the more they stay the same! :p:p:p

I felt an earthquake for the first time last year at work in cambridge, massachusetts. Freaky stuff it was, I dunno how the callie folks deal with it.

You want to have fun, fly into LAX and watch out the window as you pass over and San Andreas fault. You'll see firehouses, hospitals, schools, major freeways and heaven knows what else built directly over a very visible fault line. Must have been cheap real estate.

Does the 1.5A charger come with a different USB adapter? I've been using my USB adapter on my 1.5A cell phone charger, but today it just crapped out, and I just now noticed the USB input 5VDC 500mA Output 5V DC 150mA sticker on the back of it and wondering if I overloaded the adapter or something??

I've been monitoring the charge rate on 78mm batteries for another project I have in mind. They seem to start out at about 125ma, then taper down as the battery reaches full charge, somewhere around a 20ma rate. The charge rate is controlled internally by an IC in the battery so the amp hour output of the charger can be much higher as long as the charger voltage is 5 to, say 5.5 volts.

I'm guessing it probably crapped out on its own (unless you shorted it out with your laundered green batt - that was you, right?). Those specs sound OK to me to use the dongles on...
