Forma Charger - little warm, and maybe Forma...

jgbout · 03-16-2021, 10:57 PM

So my new Forma, charging for first time.
Using the same usb wall charger that worked on my Libra.
Plugs in fine, Forma was in sleep mode when I plugged it in. No flickering, jut stayed asleep and the charge LED is on the unit, nice.

I do notice the charger is a little warm and I think there is a slight warmth noticable on the Forma on the power port.

Is this ok?

It's just a straight usb wall charger, Samsumg, Input is .15A, output is 5V 1A

Thank you
jim

Yeah, there is a bit of warms around the port and screen.
The Forma has 0.8A written on it.
Would a 2A output adaptor with .35A input be better?

Seems to be going away now....

The Forma like most USB devices will only draw the maximum charging current it is designed for so the maximum drain would be 0.8A whether you used a 5V 1A or a 5V 2A charger.
