Charging eGo AIO?

[Hyt3x]

Hey everyone

I just got my ego aio from joyetech and i was wondering if i can charge it with htc wall adapter which outputs 5V and 1A? Am i safe using that wall adapter?

according to what i can find on specs, that should be fine

Acording to below, the manufacture recommends .5 amp.

Well i also do have a wall adaptor with 5V am 550ma so i can use that since its only 50ma more or no?

It doesn't work that way.

Amps are a measure of the rate of flow of energy.
A load "pulls" or "draws" whatever amperage (current) it is designed for, if it can.
The spec on a power supply is the maximum current it can provide.

I just checked my AIO with a multi-amp supply... it draws 0.55 A.

Use either, but the HTC should have an easier time of it... like not running your car at red-line.

You are 100% fine. These devices only use the amperage they need.

I'm getting tired of the overreaction and hysteria when it comes to charging these things or batteries in general. Just because a few fools misused a mech mod or carried around beat up batteries loose in their pockets with other metal objects it sure as hell doesn't mean that your setup is a ticking time bomb. /end rant.

Your device is a safe as they come.

Also, my rant wasn't directed at the OP as asking questions never hurt anyone.

Post of the week! Awesome detective work.

Thanks... call me Sam... Sam Spade.

LOL... I have live USB cables to either side... I plugged an in-line meter into one of them.

I think of wall adapter amp ratings as just their Limit, not what they always send out. It's up to the charger, or device, to determine what it pulls, not exceeding the wall adapter. I do notice that my wall adapters get warmish when using chargers that Could pull more amps than the adapter

Don't "think" it... "know" it.

That's how it works.

What I think is what I think I know I appreciate your point

 

[Jim_ MDP]

You only thought you knew it.
Now you know you knew it.

We're gonna get recursive here soon... and risk collapsing the Net.



I could/should rephrase my poorly worded post to you.
The "that's how it works" referred to the circuitry... not "think" vs. "know".
You had it right... that's what I was trying to say.
