1kyle Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) Good News for people who travel and want to minimize gear they carryThe Motorola charger for those very popular thin Razr V3i type mobile phones work perfectly charging the RH1. The Motorola charger also uses a "Mini USB" type connector.Both the "Official" and Motorola chargers have a 5V output. (Being USB standard I'd expect the output voltage to be the same anyway).An advantage also is that the Car charger for the motorola mobile phone also works as well in charging / powering the RH1.So if you use an RH1 in a car via audio in / Kenwood AUX adapter cable / transmitter or whatever you don't have to worry about power requirements anymore if you have one of these Motorola Razr type mobiles.Cheers-K Edited August 13, 2006 by 1kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTS Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 yep Ive been using my RH1 with the v3x charger since I got it. Im glad Sony put a standard USB plug on this unit, saves having a million chargers lying around the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smkranz Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Well, hot-damn. I just bought a new black V3 Razr today myself...this phone is slicker than deer guts on a door knob. Now it's even more slicker ( ) by virtue of being able to use the same USB -> mini-USB cable to sync and swap files between phone and PC using the Motorola Phone Tools software...saved me $20 by not having to buy another of that particular cable. Thanks a heap for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin42 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) Does it charge like the RH1's "native" charger, giving the countdown timer, or does it charge like it's plugged into a USB port on the computer (and doesn't countdown)?[edited to fix dumb typo; thanks for the response!] Edited August 15, 2006 by Justin42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozpeter Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Good tip indeed. But do the USB headphones that come with the phone work with the RH-1 if you connect them to the RH-1 USB socket?OK, I'm joking....More seriously, had anyone come across adapters to enable 'normal' headphones to be used with a USB-only phone? But I guess I'm in the wrong forum for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess I'm in the wrong forum for that one.go to the motorola website in your country and order the miniUSB-> 3.5mm stereo minijack and let me know how it sounds I dont think itll improve on the crap sound quality from the stock moto-usb-earbuds when used with e2cs. Im afraid all i'll hear is bloated bass and lots of electronic noises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberman Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Both the "Official" and Motorola chargers have a 5V output. (Being USB standard I'd expect the output voltage to be the same anyway).How many (milli)Ampere?USB delivers 500mA, while the RH1 charger delivers 800mA.

NIGHTS Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 How many (milli)Ampere?USB delivers 500mA, while the RH1 charger delivers 800mA.850mA according to the charger supplied by Motorola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHTS Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) thats interesting, my charger is for the V3x outputs 5V 850mA I just assumed it was the same for all V3 models.it'll still work fine but perhaps it may charger a bit slower.

alberttf Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 the use of motorola charger is danger for a battery?can I use another charger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefbeef Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Thanks so much for posting this. It works great. The razr charger is lighter and more compact. At work right now, out of battery juice, but it's not a problem thanks to this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseangelmadrid Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 So, if this charger works for the rh1, would the Razr V3 Emergency AA battery Extender work too?http://www.gomadic.com/motorola-razr-v3-em...y-extender.htmlDoes anyone know?
