PRS-300 Charging this puppy.....

tnronin · 01-18-2010, 10:27 PM

I have a AC/USB charger base, I plugged in the PRS-300 and I get the charging indicator. Am I good to go, or is there some other symbol that will let me know I have the correct voltage? This would be nice so I don't have to worry about my PC sleeping and not charging the reader.

If by AC/USB you mean a charger that uses a USB plug to your eReader then it doesn't work properly... it may appear to but actually is discharging the eReader power... to charge by the USB port, the reader requires an active and awake computer to be the point of attachment. Wall charger must use the power socket on the reader... standard miniature Philips connector (barrel shape, usually yellow tip) giving 5-5.2V at around 2A.

Thanks I just found this on another thread. I searched but evidently I didn't use the correct search string.
