The nokia charger states what the current is on it that it provides which is around the current left over after everything else is power from the charger I selected. The nokia appears to have an intelligent charger it it which cycles on and off dependent on need, not I think the supplied

No we just chopped the end off the nokia charger and soldered to a USB lead. I was unable to source the correct size power plug from Maplin or anywhere else it is smaller than the smallest hence the chopping off. Regards Simon At 14:00 01/02/2007, Neil MacLeod wrote: Chris Caldwell wrote:

Why would it need a current limiter? V=I*R. If the voltage is right, the current is completely dependent on the equivalent resistance of the device. If the device is designed to pull 500mA and I give it a supply capable of 1A, it will only pull 500mA. If I give it a supply capable of only 250mA,
