Charging current

[dedam]

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to charge my Tornado (Qtek 8310) with a 450 mA charger? Will the battery be charged or will nothing happen?

Thanks in advance!

Read this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352126)and decide. My guess is that depending on the current charge on the battery, the charger may drain it completely instead of charging it. As before, my advise remains to not screw around with chargers that are not designed for the phone. Brand new chargers are five bucks plus shipping on eBay.

Well, I have my original charger (or it is the charger of my PDA, i'm not sure anymore :D), but when I travel, I can't charge my phone or PDA. Then I will charge my phone with a battery operated charger, but the cheap one I can get loads 450 mA and I'm wondering if that will be enougt to charge the batt.

I don't think I will brick the battery, since I bought a solar charger and used a lot of different USB chargers.

I just looked at my original charger: 5V @ 1A, so I dont know if the batt will charge with 0,45 A, but I'm sure it will keep intact.

I've charged with a Motorola charger (5V 550mA) and it does work, just as you can charge via USB. However, it won't work if you run your battery completely flat (won't even turn on). In that state, you need to use the original charger to get it going.
