iGo iTip for Wizard

[sskarlatos]

Does anyone know if there is a mini USB iTip that would work with the Wizard?

Is the mini USB connector pinout standard or specific to the Wizard?

I would try the one for the razr
I have a moto car chargers that is a mini usb so that should work.

I have the Cingular 8125 (wizard) and the igo razr tip does work with it ... as does the original razr charger and car charger.

Note that the iGo.com website suggests power tip A53 for Tmo MDA and Cingular 8125
For razr: power tip A32
Both look like mini-USB to me. Any real differences??

Radio Slack didn't have the recommended one, but did have the Razr one. Will that work for sure without brickifying my MDA?

I have an iGo unit and have used the A29 blackberry tip and the A32 RAZR tip. On the back of the tips at radioshack, you'll notice that the A29 is 5.0V at .6 Amps, and the A32 is 5.0 volts .9 Amps. I don't know what the A53 tip has becuse they don't carry it at the shack yet. I do know that both tips do charge my 8125 with no problems. The RAZR tip is faster, as it's higher current. One thing to keep in mind is that if you use the RAZR tip, you'll be able to use it to charge newer moto BT headsets as well without blowing them up.

My next trick is to get the motorola y-cable that breaks out the mini-usb to a mini-usb and the motorola sade so I can charge teh 8125 and an older HS820 at the same time.

The TripleCharger can power the Wizard in conjunction with the X3 adapter. You can find it here:

The TripleCharger uses adapters to charge different devices, but it can charge in your home, your car, or in emergencies (with 2 9V batteries).

I bought the one that RS specs for the Audiovox SMT5600, works like a charm. HTC makes the 5600 for Audiovox, as far as a know.

[electronicmetro]

Yes, that's correct. HTC makes the Audiovox 5600, along with some carrier-branded smartphones/PDAs like the T-Mobile MDA/SDA, Cingular 2125 & 8125, Verizon's XV-6700 and Sprint's PPC-6700.

We've gotten moderate site traffic in the past month from this site, so I thought I'd let everyone know the TripleCharger X3 Bundle for HTC smartphones is now in stock.

This charger can charge/power the HTC Faraday, Feeler, Hurricane, Magician, Prophet, Tornado, Typhoon, and Wizard, as well as their carrier-branded counterparts.

The charger can be found here: http://www.electronicmetro.com/triplecharger-x3-for-audiovox-smt5600-cingular-212.html

I have an iGo unit and have used the A29 blackberry tip and the A32 RAZR tip.

I had bad luck with the A29 tip. I used it once, and the battery completely discharged after about 5 minutes of charging with it (I couldn't charge with a USB cable, I had to find the original wall charger).

I don't know if this was related to the tip or some other problem, but there's no way I'm plugging my 8125 back into the A29 at this point.

Why get this little contraption when there's this on offer?

It uses any USB Charging cable so you can charge anything! Also can use normal power adapters with changeable tips. AND it has a 7200mah battery built in to charge on the go. Nice and not tooo pricey

While that product has the cool feature of an internal battery, it requires far more "clutter" to charge the same amount of devices that the triplecharger can. It also costs more than twice what the triplecharger does, which is $30 US.

I just bought the A53 tip for my 8125. I belive the package said it was 5.2 Volts and 1.2 Amps

What "Clutter"?

[MethodMan]

We've gotten moderate site traffic in the past month from this site, so I thought I'd let everyone know the TripleCharger X3 Bundle for HTC smartphones is now in stock. What is the max. output current can this gizmo supply? I emailed them more than 2 months ago with this same question and they never replied. :?

[electronicmetro]

Clutter: extra cable required to charge ipod, different extra cable required to charge treo 650 + 700, 6V and 9V "booster" connectors required to increase voltage for various devices, such as cell phones (nokias), bluetooth headsets (jabra), and some other palm PDAs. The device itself is also bulky - its essentially a battery pack and not a "charger," and it can only be recharged via a USB cable.

The TripleCharger can plug into home AC outlets and your car's DC outlet, as well as charge your devices by converting the power from 2 9V batteries for emergency situations.

The device also does not have support for many new devices, including the Motorola PEBL/RAZR/SLVR phones, Motorola Q PDA, new nokia flip phones + the N series, and new verizon + t-mobile samsung phones - all of which the TripleCharger can charge... I consulted the "Compatibility Matrix" PDF file for this information which may not be currently updated, but if this is the case it just shows another reason why this product/company may not provide the best charging solution for tech-savvy consumers who use new devices.

The TripleCharger handles all voltage regulation internally and does not require any boosters or extra cables to charge certain devices. Max output is 9V and more than 1 amp; output levels range from 4-9V depending on which adapter is used with the charger.

I run the website for the company and I check our customer service email accounts daily, and MethodMan I apologize for the communication problem but we never received an email from you. Might have been caught in the spam filter, though - do you remember which account you send mail to?

For future reference, you can send questions to admin@electronicmetro.com to guarentee a quicker response than posting in this forum.

question:
will this work with wizard?
http://www.circuitcity.com/rpsm/oid/97419/rpem/ccd/productDetailReview.do#tabs
the review said "this does not convert currant so make sure your device can handle the voltage requirements. "
will wizard work fine on this?
the note said: Works with most consumer electronics (110V - max 275W, 220V - max 550W). Not for use with high-watt devices such as irons and hair dryers.

The Triple Charger has been featured in Wired Magazine's December issue, in the "30 Gifts under $30" section.

To celebrate this event, the Triple Charger has been placed on sale until Christmas for $19.99.
