I have a Sony DSC-Hx9V camera with a charger whose output is 5v 0.5A; my Sony Xperia L has a charger with an output of 5v 850mA - which charger can I take which that would adequately charge both units? (Travelling and need to lower my baggage weight!)
Hi Nicci, and welcome to Yahoo!Answers: Since both your gadgets use USB connectors to charge the battery packs, you can just pick one to take with you. I'd opt for the Xperia L charger, since it has a larger charging current capacity (850 mA is larger than 0.5A, which is 500 mA). And if you decided to run your Xperia off the wall to save battery life, the Xperia charger could handle the full running load of either gadget (running from wall power takes more current than just trickle charging). Trying to run your Xperia using your camera's charger might overheat the smaller charger. Since both gadgets are designed to also be charged by a computer's USB port (typically 500mA), either charger will work, and neither would harm the other Sony model in re-charge mode. Happy travels! hope this helps, --Dennis C.
