Charrging batteries with iPhone charger?

Quick qn : Ive got the following batteries :

Standard 510
Mega 510
901
Egot T 1000mah

Ive got USB chargers for all of them - query is, can I shove the USB charger for each battery into an iPhone charger (of which I have an abundance)?

Cheers

Not sure about ipod charger but i have used a mains usb charger digitor branded it has a 1000mA output so if its 1000mA and usb in theory it should work OK but i am not a sparky.

I have charged 510 mega battys and the mega pcc using this method

 

Just had a look at the back of it - output says 5v ... 1A

 

sounds OK 1a = 1000mA which is 1 amp = 1000 milliamps (cant spell)
But golden rule always check you battys when they are charging don't leave them untended

 

Good question, the average e cig plug charger is 500 mA so if you are to try, keep a good eye on your battery Let us know how you go.

 

the ecig chargers just lurve the iphone plug pack, thats all i have used my eGo charger on for almost a year. It charges faster than with the plug pack by far and I think faster than a computer USB. I do believe they are 5.6V or something though. It will just mean a slight speed up in the charge, the cut-off point is the same as that is an internally generated reference voltage.

Go for it and reap the storm !

 

Thanks guys - I'll give it a go and report back (subject to fire burning down my house).

i use an iphone charger, the e-cig charger limits current, well mine does (ego knockoff)

 

I was under the impression that the usb charging cable limits current too.
Mine's rated at 5V in, 4.2V 420mA out...

 

a cable is a piece of wire .. the charging 'cable' is the charger ..
it has electronics in it.

 

I use a portable 5v 4500mah battery usb charger for all my gear and no problems

 

Just thought I would update this thread to say that I have now charged 1000mah Ego / 510 mega / and 901 batts all fine off the iPhone charge (with the appropriate USB charger leads of course) - all fine no probs

 

Awsome Acb

 

Ahhh, Calabasas.
I wen't to a great cantina there, it had a plane from a James Bomd movie on the roof?

 

510t.comto batteries also work fine with the USB dongle plugged directly into the iPhone charger. Have been doing this for about a month and no issue thus far.
