Can 6800s use Moto Power adaptors?

[Darkfenix_Rizen]

Title says it all. Both show 5V. I just upgraded to the Alltel 6800 from my Q and I still have the car charger and a spare moto power cord. Can I use the moto brand charger with my 6800?

Thanks!

yeah you can.
i upgraded from the Q to the vogue.
adapter works perfectly.

EDIT: forgot to say this. it wont charge AS fast as the OEM HTC charger.

All mini USB chargers conform to the same standard. They are all universal.

As is with most non HTC mini usb chargers will work but not as fast as an OEM HTC charger is due to the fact that 99% of all 5V mini usb chargers conform to the usb specification of 5V @ 500mAh and Most OEM HTC Chargers ar 5V @ 1000mAh Some Motorolla ones are 5V @ 750mAh but are not all that common place.

As far as it working with your Titan. Yes it will work just fine it just won't put out as much amperage so it won't charge in the 2hour fashon of an OEM HTC will.

Is this right? I think I killed my first Vogue by using my TomTom charger that outputs at, I think, 2 amps. Buttons started working eratically and it stopped consistently accepting a charge, even from the OEM HTC wall charger I had. Sometimes it would connect, sometimes not. Same with my PC USB charge/sync cable. I have the impression that pushing too much amperage through the phone burned up some circuitry.

I'm now hesitant to use a non-OEM charger with my new vogue, but if you say the motorola chargers push through less power, they should be ok? I've got the moto SYN1630a charger, and there's no indication anywhere on it as to the power it outputs.

mini USB chargers are not universally the same. Some are 1 amp while others are 0.5 amps.

Also, if you plug in a non-Motorola charger into a Razr, it will not charge the phone. It will say - unauthorized charger

i use a RAZR charger with my mogul, and if i'm doing something power-intensive on my phone in the car (like watching my slingbox) the moto charger won't be able to keep up. the orange "charging" led on the mogul will start to blink slowly instead of staying on. it's wierd.

[jrflurry]

When that orange light is blinking your battery is overheating and it has stopped charging in order to prevent damage to your phone.

I've even used the crappy charger that came with my bluetooth headphones in a pinch. Charged very slowly, but did the job.

I've used motorola chargers on my mogul, and although it charges slower than the HTC one, it does work. The weird thing is that the mogul seems to be less picky about chargers than my friends motorola as I can charge on her charger, but her phone can't charge on my HTC charger. The moto gives an "incompatible charger" message.
