USB over current notice *Error*

That's in negotiated modes (5 units).

These are classed as "battery chargers" and the port should either provide 1A or 1.5A to the device. There's a bit of a concern since the connector itself is not safely rated over 1.5A.

[Sorry - I didn't see the second part of your post "no BCS"] These devices don't have negotiation, so can't negotiate units. Under the latest spec I've seen, they fall into the BCS.

It's a total CF of a "standard". I think the Battery Charging portion of the spec in its latest "glory" is publicly available. I'm still logged in but try: http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/batt_charging_1_1.zip

"Powered USB" is up to 6A, but uses a different connector and is more rare.

To the best of my knowledge, the genuine USB 2.0 specification will only "guarantee" you 500mA per port (it doesn't have to support BCS) and USB 3.0 will give you 900mA. Not really enough for any of the cartomizers or atomizers that we deal with.

Would this work, and will 2 amps work with the older Passthru.
I have an older model manual & auto.

Sorry for the long link...

This is the wall charger that I bought and it is working great with the old passthrough, and the new one also. I love it because I can charge a battery and use my passthrough at the same time.

What I linked to (USB.org) is relatively "genuine". It's what we're held to in my company to put the USB logo on a product or get sued out of existence.

I agree though that USB is a mess, in that 2.0 != 2.0.

It's entirely possible that I'm misinterpreting it though. I don't think the guys I have lunch with now and again down the street here at Intel have any better luck with it...

I am using this FRYS.com | Inland to power my PT in the car and to charge my batteries and run my PT in the house. so far it works perfectly
(side note in the car I have to use an AC inverter to get the hub to work. there is NOT a 12v plugin on the hub)
