Now, where the mains to USB chargers fail is internally being configured incorrectly. If it's not wired correctly internally, the device (PRS-650, in this case) will see the charger as being a USB port on a computer and limit charging to 500mA. If wired correctly, it will charge at the full rate, say 1A (just an example).
PRS350 User Guide says: Built-in rechargeable battery: 3.7 V DC, 940 mA. So is charger with output 5V and 500mA (or 1A) ok?
