USB power is standardized, so anything that plugs into the wall and has a USB port on the back should work fine.
I regularly charge my phone with my Kindle charger and vice versa (and they even both use microUSB, so I can use the same wire too).
- PStamatiou 16y agoThough some USB chargers output more than the standard 5V @ 500mA, up to 1500mA in my experience.
- StudyAnimal 16y agoAmps is more like a maximum that they can supply kind of thing, not a how much they force out type of thing.

- andyking 16y agoThis is a real positive. My cell phone, my GPS and my in-car DAB radio all power from USB - I can charge and use them all with just one lead, instead of having a glovebox full of a Spaghetti Junction of different cables and connectors. It also means that when one charger goes wrong, it's insanely cheap and easy to swap it out for a new one rather than having to look around for often expensive manufacturer-specific accessories.
