UM20 AC adapter?

[Just Want To Quit]

Really quick question, can I use the charger for my Samsung GS5 phone and use it with my Nitecore UM20 charger? Normally I would say no after all the forum threads I've read but it is 2 amps and I heard that's exactly what is needed with the UM20

The only concern is that the Samsung usb ac adapter says on the back that it outputs 5.3 volts and 2amps. The Nitecore charger states an input of 5v Is this ok?

Thanks

Anyone?

I used the samsung galaxy S5 adapter and it seems to be working fine. I would just like to know if it's safe since it states on the plug that it outputs 5.3 volts while the Nitecore states an input of 5v.

I just wanted to make sure that was ok for my own piece mind.

I do not know what the usb spec is supposed to be but 0.3 is still with a nominal 10% tolerance of 5 volts. I would assume everything is ok.

Thanks man. When you say tolerance I'm assuming you mean a leeway range of 10% either way of 5 volts?

If it doesn't work, it's nitecores fault.

I'll take that under advisement!

Yeah, man. It's usb voltage. Should be between 5.0 and 5.5 volts depending on the load.

Thanks for that. I can rest a little better knowing I'm safe and the fact I saved myself the extra 5 bucks I didn't have to spend on one!

Welcome.

If conversation continues, be sure to pay attention.

There's plenty of brilliant, informed people lurking around the corner at all times here.

Yes, by tolerance I mean leeway; every spec has some sort of allowable range, and a kinda of rough realworld expectation is general stuff is going to be correct within 10% leeway.
At least for consumer grade stuff, that's what I'd expect.

Thanks for the confirmation man! A shame Nitecore doesn't even have an official one though.
