Can you charge the Touch or other devices with the Vox charger?
So there's some special stuff, whatever that is, that lets the Vox know that the 2 amp USB wall charger is attached.
But can you use the Vox charger to charge the Kobo Touch or other devices? Obviously I'm reluctant to test this. Edited: Added the word Kobo in front of Touch. Last edited by TonyToews; 11-04-2011 at 09:48 PM. Reason: Clarified the Touch is the Kobo. |

How would you do that? The touch doesn't connect with a micro-usb...

The Vox charger works fine on my KT. It also works on the Verso rechargeable light.
Theoretically, since Micro USB is a standard, there shouldn't be any reason why it wouldn't work. The Vox charger is just capable of delivering more current if a device needs it. I did notice that the Vox charger doesn't trigger the Touch's USB detection (unlike another USB charger I have). |
