Default USB charger oddity (8700g at least)

Please Login to Remove!

So if I use the BB charger, the BB charges
If I use a generic USB charger, it doesn't

It's as if the BB charger is spoofing a a PC with the BB driver installed.

What makes the BB charger different from a normal USB charger (used for connecting to a car ligher socket, for example)?

Difference? The amount of juice coming down the pipe makes the difference.

All usb chargers are not created equal. there are some that I have that will work with a BB and some not. something to do with the configuraiton of the usb charger and whether it is smart enough to detect a BB.

I have all of mine tagged whether they work or not with my bb.

Yeah, I think some of them are wired up differently. I don't think there's any intelligence in them to detect anything...

How much juice is optimal? I've experienced this problem with universal, $1 chargers that work well with MOT V3s but not on BBs, . . however, OEM Mot chargers are able to charge my BB's?

The RAZR chargers will work for blackberries but not the other way around.

For a generic AC charger make sure it's output is 5V DC at 500ma (.5 a). This is the same output of your Computer's USB ports.
