Anybody come across a USB travel charger for the XDA II? I have the USB cable just need a charger that outputs 5v and between 1 and 2amps and has the usual US, UK, EU, Aus and NZ attachements. Expansys.com have one but outputs 5.5v - not sure if that will damage the battery, proporta.com have one also but outputs 9v! Why these chargers don't stick to the standard 5v is beyond me.
not sure what you mean but usb in this context
the connector in the buttom of the xda2 is not a usb connector
and usb cant provide more then 500mA
If you have a usb cable for xda 2 you can acquire a lighter adaptor into which you plug the cable, this will give the correct voltage.

Some power adapters come with USB sockets - I think it should become a standard so with the same cable you can get power from laptop/cigarette lighter/mains. Ericsson used RJ11 cables (modem cable) for it's mobile phone chargers but it never caught on.

Thanks for the link, I have two of them already, looking for something to plug into mains.
Mark,
I think I know what you mean: A plug (either 12v in-car or 110V/230V mains) that supplies just +5V DC on a USB socket.
Received one with my retractable sync'n'charge cable from time168.com (but those guys dont exist anymore).
Also received two with my BT GPS from DConnex.
I would say they are for sale on eBay, at least with the sellers that supply these sync'n'charge cables.
I made an emergency charger myself based on USB: 4 NiMH AA cells (1.2V each) in a battery-holder & wired to a USB socket. Not pretty, but good enough for emergency.
You might want to look at www.javoedge.com. They have a USB retractable sync/charge cable and you can also get adapters that allow you to plug the usb cable into a US/European/wherever plug socket adapter.

I had a look at those - they're not really travel chargers just US and EU chargers and a bulky adapter for the UK.

That sounds like a good idea. Proporta.com have a 9v charger
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=940&t_mode=des but I was thinking AA batteries would be easier to get in an emergency.
Since I only know basic electronics I used 4 rechargeable NiMH cells that gice approx 4.8v alltogether. With normal (alkaline) AA cells you probably end up above 6V. I would not try that . . .
Setback of my solution is to have an AAcharger with me for longer trips.
About the travel adapter: The usb travel adapters I have came in two flavours:
1. Car cigarette lighter use
2. Mains use. I also got a number of 'plugs' with it to make the adaptor fit a variety of mains wall outlets.

The Artemis will charge with a standard mini usb cable. I use the same cable for both my Artemis and my Wizard.
And my other half charges her XDA Graphite (which is not even an HTC device) with my charger and vice-versa.
Any 5 volt charger with a mini USB plug will do. And they should be 5V if they have a mini USB plug on!
mine do not charge with standard cable which charges wizard
and what is ExtUSB (i ve found somewhere that is cable for 9600 and artemis)
even there is converter extusb to miniusb ???
Working great for me
I tried with different USB cables with my Orbit phone. It is workling fine for me. Only the thing needed is to install Active Sync software on PC so that it will update the USB drivers on PC.
I even tried charging my Orbit with motorolla V3i phone electric charger and it charges but very slowly.
Hi guys, do anyone know where to buy this cable?
i modded an adapter that could output a 5V 1.2A current, but i checked on my phone it's only drawing 800ma from the adapter.
i figured i did not short the D+ and D- on the adapter, but when i open up the adapter i see that there's only 2 wires 5V and Gnd.
So i'm thinking of buying a shorted cable to connect to my adapter instead
something like what they are referring to.

Review/Comparison between Choetech USB Car chargers QC3 USB (Tc002) & USB C (c0051)
(Note this is tested on HTC 10 with a choetech USB C cable)
USB QC 3 charger (Model tc002)
This is a nice little charger, small form and built well. It has a little led in the middle to let you know it has power/is charging. It also comes with usb c cable which is a nice addition.
It has 2 ports, one with a blue strip around it to let you know it’s the “main” QC 3 port. This port gives off 9.1v with 0.83a. The phone recognised this as QC3 and displayed the “charging rapidly” sign.
The 2nd port has no strip around it. It gives off 5v and 1.9a, so will charge slightly slower but still for an in charge charger will charge most phones well.
USB C QC 3 charger (Model c0051)
This is a nice little charger like the above, very similar build wise the only difference being the ports themselves. Please note no cable was provided with this charger. The led also changes from blue to green when charging.
It has 2 ports, 1 usb c and 1 normal USB (USB A). The normal usb port also looks reversible which is a nice added feature. The usb C port requires a USB C to USB C cable.
The normal USB port gives off 8.8v and 1.5a. The phone did recognize this as QC3 and displayed the “charging rapidly” sign.
The usb c port I was unable to read due to not having the right connector to read volts and amps, so I used an inbuilt amp to read the charging speed (Ampere). This read as 1800mA which as comparison is around the same as the official HTC charger that came with my HTC 10. The phone however did not display the “charging rapidly” sign
Conclusions
Both are very good chargers and both available at a reasonable price. If I were to pick one I would pick the 1st USB QC 3 charger (tc002) simply because I feel the double usb a ports give you more options when charging
Hello guys
