iPod USB Charger on iPhone
Has anyone else tried using their iPod USB charger on their iPhone? When I use mine, it takes hours to charge my iPhone literally another 10%, that is it.
Seems like the iPhone and iPod require different amounts of charges, and you cannot swap chargers between the two units. I won't be using my iPod charger anymore, in case it messes up the battery in my iPhone. Hang on, if I mess my battery up, I can just buy another one from the Apple store and replace it right? Dang, I need to stop smelling gas fumes. |

The iPhone charger is 5 volts.
Older iPod chargers (firewire) outputs 12 volts. If in doubt, I would only use the charger that came with it or Use your computer to charge it.

The iPod charger I have is also 5.0v-400mA. I am also using the iPod USB cable, but this shouldn't make any difference.
I am going to plug the iPhone directly into my PC and charge via that. I've ordered an original Apple charger (like the one you get with the iPhone) from eBay for $1.99 ($1 million in the Apple store). So that should make life easier for me. |

They all work the same way, but the WAY the iPhone charges is because of the lithium-ion battery. It will rapidly charge to about 90% in 2 hours then take that last 10% and trickle charge it to 100% so as, over time, not to damage the battery.
It does not matter if you use the iPod charger or the iPhone charger 5 volts is 5 volts. |

This is what I mean. It takes 5 hours to charge just 10% (using the iPod USB charger). Not to 90% and then the 10% trickle. When I plug the iPhone into my PC, it fully charges in about 3 hours.
Weird? |
