BTW Stealth, your profile shows you have TP, but post indicates Hero?
Agreed, variable voltage is the likely suspect. The Hero is designed to charge from USB, which is approximatley 5.5 volts. I don't know of any device that charges from a mini-usb that takes anything other than 5.5 volts. The current may vary, but the voltage should always be consistant.
