Hello.

I'm looking for a Car charger, and i found this product.
It has a standard MiniUSB connector, and it has 1000mAH (out) and 5V (in).
Is this what i need? how can i know that it won't damage my device?
or any MiniUSB will do the job?

Thank you all. :)

It has a standard MiniUSB connector, and it has 1000mAH (out) and 5V (in).It has to be 5v (out) not 5V (in). Car batteries are in 12v or 24v, that's your input. Any usb is in 5V, that's your output.

how can i know that it won't damage my device?
or any MiniUSB will do the job?It won't damage your device, because the USB specification imply a voltage of 5v, so any USB-compatible device will charge with a 5v input, and any miniUSB will do the job.

Considering the 1000mAh (out), it's a bit underrated but won't be a problem. A higher power output would allow you to charge your battery slightly faster. Car chargers are usually rated at 1500mAh.

I have found out that BlackBerry Pearl car charger charges my Polaris succesfully, even when navigation is on...
Strange thing is that BB car charger is stated as 500 mAh output...
