USB Extension Cable?

[Thompson]

Would using a 3 ft USB extension cable be safe for charging/pass-through (specifically an eGo-T 650mAh)? Using a good amp rated wall USB charger?

Just curious as it would add the level of freedom, don't particularly like being super attached to the wall, and want to avoid using my laptop at all cost.

Sorry if this isn't the right section, wasn't really sure where this was appropriate.

Well what do you mean by this, a regular pass through battery that you are trying to just make longer by hooking up a usb extension cord between the pass through cable and wall charger? if yes, then ya deffinitely, a decent usb cable can handle that current no problem.

If you mean by popping open that sucker (meaning a REGULAR non passthru batt) and attaching the usb cable to that yourself and modding it into a passthrough batt, well then sir , NO! not unless you have some decent electronic skills and are adding in another circuit to monitor that voltage and keep eveerything regulated...

A Retail USB Extention Cord should be fine.

I use lots of them to access the ports on my computer for External Hard Drives and such.

I've been using a generic 6' USB extension for ages, one end in a wall adapter, and the other hooked up to my Ego charger or PT. No issues at all
