Re: Major Battery Issue!

Yes, I have a mogul charger from my mogul - it charges much faster. Nuepower will tell you the current draw from the charger and it will draw much more current from the mogul charger (I have not tested the touch charger but I think they shipped with the same one). The fact that it uses a standard usb cable is the source of the problem since there are 5 pins in a mini port and only 4 pins on the regular sized end. The mogul and the pro both use the 5th pin to detect if it is an oem charger and will charge faster if so.

There are some cables actually that will make the mogul and touch pro think that it is hooked up to an oem charger - my friend got one as a charge only cable with a wireless mouse that charged via usb - it won't trigger activesync either. I haven't found a source for ones that will function like this.
