Alternative charger for Wildfire S

---

Ok, so my original wildfire s charger got damaged during a vacation so i can't use it anymore, need to buy another one. Till i do that can i use an iPad charger? I have an iPad and an iPad charger and i can plug the htc usb cable to it, will it get damaged?

I will work with no problems. I have done this many times as I forget my charger at a friends and use thier iPhone, WiMax, Bluetooth chargers.

I used to charge my WFS with philips mp3 charger.It works without any problem

I charge mine with my dad's LG Optimus One P500 charger if I forget mine.

If you have any of those phones, just twist the phone cable and put it in.

It works vice versa too.

USB is a standard voltage. You will be fine. There's essentially no difference between both the adapters you have.

USB is 5V and will carge fine anywhere from 500mA (standard computer USB port) to 2-3A (most wall and car chargers). I have only once seen a USB wall charger that violated this, it was 6V and came with a AA battery charger. you'll be fine with the ipad one.

I use a trust and ipod chrager, no problem since now!

any voltage up to 6V should be alright, the phone regulates it down to 5V automatically (though more heat is generated). the problems occur the other way where the charger doesn't have enough voltage (ex. my tablet requires 5.3V to charge normally, on 5.1 it takes a few days, and 5.0 it continues to drain the battery)

if you have 5v and 1Ah you can use it without any damge to battery if it's 1Ah+ it will charge your phone fatser but it will overheat phone. if it 1Ah- it will charge slow and after long using wont charge it till 100%
