Question Car charger rating?

I'm thinking of buying a car charger plug with a usb connection to use with the usb cabel that comes with the diamond.

What output rating should that car charger have?
The one I'm thinking of buying has a output of 5V and 1000mA. I've seen others with 500mA but not sure which one to get?

Does anybody have any idea?


Thanks /Sonny

All up to 2A should work! The charging process with 500mA could be slower. But they will all work!

Just calculate, the original battery has 3.7V with 900mA, that makes 3.33Wh.
So the charging process is never at full capacity for optimal charging of the battery.

With an output of 5V and 500mA the charging should last about an hour or 1 1/2 hours. So I think 1000mA should be more than enough.

Couldnīt find any hint on the original output current of the HTC charger, sorry.
