DoctorM · 02-07-2016, 02:55 AM

There something I've been meaning to ask about.
I purchased my PRS-T1 used on eBay and the seller included a wall charger from Sony but of a model I can't find any details about online. (Just that it exists. Not what Sony made it for or if it's intended to be used with their Readers.)

It's a Sony AC-UB10B rated at 5V 0.5A. The wall pins fold into it in a funky way so it collapses down into a square, like a black tape measure.

It works, but is it good or bad for these units, at least as far as battery life span is concerned?

Also, is it at least better than charging from a PC's USB port?
