Any Car Charger for PPC 6700 to suggest?

pandaboy · #1 (**permalink**) 12-19-2006, 12:39 PM

I bought so far 3 car charger for my PPC 6700, but none of them work. Beware, when you choose a car charger for PPC 6700, check the Current, if it's only 500mAh, then don't buy it, because the original battery is 1350mAh.
500mAh is too weak.

I've been looking around for a good car charger, cheap if possible. Do you guys have anything to suggest me?
(The original one is just simply too expensive - in Canada it cost around $60)

Can you read your car charger and tell me how many current is there?
it should be a number in mAh

Go and ask for a blackberry charger... they are the exact same as the ones for the ppc-6700 the one i have personally is for the nextel version of the blackberry and it works wonders. fits perfectly and has a great multicolored light on the charger itself so u can get a quick glance to see the power indicator red yellow and green... simple with only 3 options.

IGO from radio shack. Buy the mini usb adapter. If you ever get another phone all you have to but is the adapter for your new phone.

Motorola Razar charger works for the 6700 also.

I just got my GPS receiver today, it came with a car charger with the exact same type of the PPC 6700...
It has an output of 850mAh current... it work fine for my phone...
I'm actually looking for a 1A (1000mAh) at cheap price...
take my advice people, don't buy any car charger below 850mAh

I have a 500mah one, and it can charge the phone so long as the phone is on standby - ie, it's on, radio is on, but I've hit the 'power' button.

Not ideal, but for $3 it works - trickle charges it...
