Re: Battery charging : 1A from PC?
Does someone know if this kind of cable could be used to double-charge it might work -- but the usb spec does not specify that kind of thing. and, there's no guarantee that indeed 2x500 is drawn -- it might as well be 1x1000 and 1x0. those external harddisk usually only pull more then 500 for a very short time at startup (if at all). so, it's either up to the fuse or the usb host to allow that -- but i am sure, trying to _charge_ with 500 is asking too much. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Battery charging : 1A from PC?
Hi folks, I have an external 2.5 hard disk drive which could be used without any external power supply. To achieve this, it was shipped with a 'Y' USB cable : - on one end it has a mini USB connector - on the other end it has 2 USB connectors So you have to use 2 USB plugs to power the disk. Does someone know if this kind of cable could be used to double-charge the FreeRunner ? Because naively I think that 2*500mA (maximum per plug) = 1A, but if the FreeRunner asks for 1A on 1 plug my laptop is dead...
