Battery & charger compatibility?

SRT 10 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-06-2008, 05:43 PM

Does the touch pro have the same battery as the diamond. Also can I use my original htc car charger & wall charger from my touch for the touch pro?

Thanks

Yes, all USB chargers work the same. Use the search feature, similar questions regarding charger compatability have been posted many times.

Don't disguise the issue though.

Regardless of phone make/model aside from the battery type being lipo/lion vs nicad (all modern phones are li-po [Lithium-polymer])

All mini USB chargers will work the same across phones, the cheapo $7 motorola charger will work just as well as the $35 HTC Pro charger. (Unless there is a difference in the amount of amps it pushes, slower charge vs faster charge)

Probably don't want to exceed 1.5A (1500MA)

when i browse using opera9 with wifi turned on and brightness at 40%, my mogul charger cant seem to sustain a charging state. im think all 5v mini usb chargers are all compatible but htc shouldve raised the charger to 5.5v for touch pro

Voltage is not the issue, increasing voltage WILL damage your battery. It's the amperage that would need the boost. Like at home, I have my HTC stock charger. Those push out 1000 milliamperes or ma ( 1 Amp ) At work I have an old motorola charger that pushes out 600ma. At work surfing the web with 1xRTT (no Ev-do here yet

) I chew up about 500-700ma depending on what else I am doing.

At home with the HTC charger running on wifi I don't seem to loose battery, I have not checked to see how much amperage it is eating up with wifi.

Wifi chews through batteries like crazy.
