Power supply voltage, is there a difference?

Question

I recently ditched a Palm T|X for a Palm Centro. The power supply's are the same, except the T|X is a little smaller than the Centro. The settings are as follows:

The Centro supply is:

Input - 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.2A

Output - 5.2V - 1.0A

The T|X supply is:

Input - 100-240VAC 50/60Hz 0.1A

Output - +5.2V - 0.50A

Could I use the T|X charger as a travel charger? or would it harm the power / battery of my new centro.

Thanks!

Answer 1

The T|X charger only supplies half the current that the Centro model does, so I would have to say no. Using it may mean that the charger would overheat and fail, hopefully not damaging your Palm Centro in the process.

Answer 2

The TJX adaptor would not supply enough power. The Centro requires double the current than the TJX needed.
