Default [Q] 2amp charger.

Hi,

I have a modified universal battery charger than I have altered to take power source from my tablet adapter that has an output of 2amps. I use it to charge my spare tablet batteries.

Is it safe to charge o2x batteries with it since the original charger charges @1amp and the battery itself is 1500mAh. Is there a chip inside the battery protecting/regulating the voltage/current?

Thanks.

As far as i can tell the O2X has a management chip for charging. I can tell that because it goes through a cycle every time it charges (gets really slow and cold) above 90% charge. I think there shouldn't be a problem using a 2A charger.

So this management chip you are talking about, it is inside the battery right? Not inside the phone?

Yes, afaik it should be inside the phone. I guess you could check with a service manual but you'd need some electronics expertise.
