I know that the standard charger is 5.0V, but I use an iGo Juice for my laptop and other devices. They have a power tip (iTip) number A12 that looks to be physically compatible but delivers 6.0V. Can anyone advise me before I try it if this will be a problem?
Most other PDAs and similar that I have used are not so sensitive about the input voltage but I am less sure about the HTC devices.
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
I found this externel rechargable battery:
http://www.holland-xl.com/shop/product.detail.php?product_menu_id=727
Ok, it's not cheap but if you use an extra internal battery you have to switch the Shift off/on to change battery so this Power Gorilla has some advantages.
Question however:
I am not a technician but Shifts battery is if i am correct a 2.700 mAh one.
The Power Gorilla seems to be 21.000 mAh.
Does this meen it will extend operatingtime of shift by factor 8 - 9??????
If so, i consider to order one.
Anyone has experiance with this product?

I have a friend who had one together with a Solar Gorilla solar charger for the Power Gorilla. Actually used that stuff down under. Worked great until it got nicked !
Thanks!
Thanks Lucid,
I will order one soon.
I'll report my findings...
Still no answer to my question however.....
Dear everybody,
Over 50 views of my posting.
Still my question is not answered.
Does this Power Gorilla (21000MhA) make my Shift run 8 or 9 times longer on one charge than the original internal battery(2700MhA)?
Lets say it will run for over 10 hours when using the Power Gorilla?
Thanks in advance.

hello, thanks for your post. The Powergorilla does have a 21,000mAh battery however the 21,000mAh is only available via the 5v USB port, the PG has to up-rate the power from 5v to (for example) 19v - this means there would be around 6,000mAh available @ 19v - or 5,500mAh @ 24v etc
I hope that makes sense. If you do have any other queries please email [email protected]

shift is 12V
Powering the Shift trough the 5v USB connector possible?
Hello,
On the forum i read a while ago that someone tried to power the Shift through te 5v usb port.
He used the assosoiry USB connector for this.
Can someone confirm if this is possible?
See posting above.
This would meen (if i am correct) that you could use the Shift trough a Power Gorilla for a very long time when it is fully loaded......

STOP ! Dont'put any power on that USB port or ya might fry it.
Have you read about the Mugen power packs that come with a new shift battery cover?
I know it said it supports HTC devices but has anyone actually done it yet? I am really excited to get this if it works because its about the same size as the shift and would be awesome!
please say someone knows!
The mini gorilla charger is out now at roughly the size of a large mobile phone...

Would be awesome to know how it works with the Shift.
Necropostt...
however, I do own a PowerGorilla, and as such I can't really comment on how long it will power the Shift, but it is right now powering my Compal HDL-75 notebook as well as charging my Nexus One through the USB port and has been doing so for an hour now without even a single bar of battery gone.
I may be able to help you out here though since the 21000mAH quoted here are for the USB port at 5v, as you raise the voltage through the auxiliary port the capacity is lowered.
What voltage does the Shift charge at? I can provide the rating for it.
Edit: btw I own the rev. 2 version. The rev. 1 only had 16v to 24v output whereas mine has an 8.4v to 24v output.
I have rev1 of powergorilla and you have use car charger from expansys with it. You put out voltage in 16v and cigarrete connector adapter that arrive with powergorilla and car charger from expansys.
Best regards.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone knew the adverse affects of using different chargers. I use the OEM charger at home, a universal usb car charger with my motorola atrix usb, and a kindle v3 charger at work...
Q: Would this affect only the battery or does it affect the charging port as well?
I should've asked this question before I started doing this...
You should really stick with a 5V charger, as that is USB standard and what the phone is designed for. Under voltage shouldn't cause damage, but it's probably not the best. Over voltage could fry the device. Amps, the higher the better, as the phone will only draw what it can use.
Thanks for the reply.
So as the title says,i found some nice GPT 2100mah charger to pick.
would it be nice to pick or it would damage my phone?
Original chrager is 800mah or 850mah i dont remember correctly for now,not like its a big matter.
thanks for your replay .

I'm fairly sure that the phone regulates charge current, and a bigger charger will not charge faster than the phone wants to. The original charger is probably as big as the phone needs.
You may want to check the owners manual (sorry I'm too lazy - not trying to be a jerk).
I can tell you that in general its not good to use a higher amp, you could overload the protection circuitry in the electronic device you are trying to charge.
If it were me, I wouldn't except for an emergency situation.
Okay,thanks .
I've been using an ipad 2 2AMP charger and with no problem what so ever. Well, a USB device may need as little as a 100mA but a ton of mobos can pump >1A on some ports. The charging circuitry will draw only as much as is required. That's all I can contribute to this post.
On second thought, look at powered USB hubs. In that case, we have an easy 2A distribution across ports.
And, regular light bulbs.
if V(~110/220) is fixed, R is fixed, then so is I(current in amps) - basic Ohm's law.
This is a matter of basic electronics principles. The relevant equation here is I = E / R. E is voltage, which should be 5 volts for USB power. R is resistance, which is controlled by the electronics in the phone. Since neither of those change, I (current or amperage) remains the same.
Basically, the charger is rated for higher amperage because it can handle devices which draw more power than your phone. The charger does not control the amperage being delivered. It can only limit it.
Your Razr charger is not 800 mAh, it is mA.
The 2100 mAh is how much juice the battery stores, not outputs.
Thanks again everyone .
Hello all,
I have a really stupid question but it's keeping me awake...
The DashCharge charger, can I use it with other devices? Like a MP3 player? Or another phone? Or is it purely and uniquely proprietary for the OnePlus phones and it might damage the other devices I would use it with?
I know it won't charge faster the devices or... But if I can plug anything with it, then I can drop the other chargers I have and keep only the DC in my bag
Thanx for your replies
Dash power chargers work at 5 Volts 4 Amps which translates to 20 Watts, if I'm not mistaken, Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 works at 6.5 Volts on 3 Amps which means 19.5 Watts of power. The difference in Volts and amps between different chargers is not an issue for most devices for two main reasons.
1. Amperage is pulled by the device, which means that if you have a charger with a 4 Amp capacity, you can pretty much charge any device that draws up to 4 Amps, since no phone that I know of besides the 1+5 and 1+3(t) draws that much, you'll be fine.
2. On the voltage side, most phone chargers (apart from Qualcomm's Quick Charge) usually work at 5 Volts, the same as 1+ Dash chargers. And even if the Voltage rating on the charger is higher than the phone. These type of devices have safety features that reduce the output if they don't recognize the device being charged as compatible with their technology.
So for a quick recap, if the phone you're charging is not compatible with the technology of the charger (1+ Dash, Qualcomm QC for example) the charger will make sure to reduce the amount of power being fed to the device to a safe amount. So normally a non Dash compatible phone will probably charge at no more than 5V 2 or 2.4A.
Thanx a lot for your answer
So I can plug to my DashChargers my MP3 players and lent them sometimes to my colleagues to charge their phones as well, with nothing to worry about. It's good to know

Yup, it just won't charge at full speed as it would with 1+ devices
You can use it with any device you like, but only OnePlus devices get the fast charge advantage!
Had anyone tried usb c power delivery charge yet?
I've got one for my cheap vernee which works well, in theory it requires negotiation to draw the correct power, but wondered if anyone has tested one yet
and oppo
Seems it would be really handy for a device with only one port.
I've recently tried, out of curiosity, an iTec docking station with PD capabilities.
It will charge an accept the USB inputs. Not sure how USB-C Hubs deliver PD in this case, but they're pretty much the same thing.

Using data and fast charging are mutually exclusive; if the display is on fast charging is ramped down by default. It will charge slowly or maybe not at all.
These devices are not intended to be charged and used at the same time. Doing so likely will also decrease the battery life. High temperatures and high cell voltage are an Li's greatest enemies.

Yup, i've tried this, mind you the display did not work.
Thanks very much for the advice. Greatly appreciated.
