Is this car adapter safe for use with the Tilt?

I just bought something like that from walmart....You have to assume that if it has USB ports on it for charging then it puts out the 5v that USB is supposed to and so it "should" work. That said, I dont know for sure but I think its a good bet it wll.

Agree with the above post. Often these chargers will output approx 5V but only 500mA compared to the standard mains chrger at 1000mA.

I doubt, unless someone has one, that anyone will say for sure it is safe, if only because sometimes there can be problems with these kinds of charger where it will only charge when the device is off for example. Having said this it's very unlikely it will harm your Kaiser.

I have a car charger that is basically a USB plugging into the Cig Lighter with max output of 1000mA. When purchasing these it is always a good idea to contact the seller and verify the Max Output.

As for downside, it has the same limitations as charging from your PC USB i.e. generally they won't charge a battery under a critical (usually 10%) level or completely dead for that you need the OEM Wall Charger.

I have 4 of the wall/car chargers and have used them for at least 4 years or so on 3-4 different devices. One is from boxwave and the other three are from another vendor whose name currently escapes me. I've never had a problem with any of my devices and, at least for me, they charge well and fairly quickly.
