one that fits the V551 but I'm worried about using it. There are no
specs at all written on it. Are they standard? Safe?

I'm sure that there are perfectly acceptable chargers that are cheaper than the Motorola one. Having two is very useful. Does anyone know of someone actually damaging a phone by using a third party charger, or anyone using a TPC that did not damage the phone?

Any suggestions appreciated.
Posts: n/a Re: Cheap chargers ok for V551? I use third-party chargers, especially for off-phone battery charging.I have done this since I got a cell. One of the great features of the OEM chargers is that they had discharge features, because we had NiCd batteries! If you just charge the battery off the phone, there are no worries about damage to the phone. For plugging a charger into the phone itself, I have the car and home chargers left over from a few previous phones, including the v60/Color which fits, rates and tests at the right voltage...and haven't had any trouble. If I do, I have insurance on the phone, so it's still not my problem. -Ron Motorola v551, which is so new, I still have the original photos and videos in the camera's memory! dgk wrote: > On Thu, 09 Dec 2004 15:03:28 -0500, Khris <prewiredNOSPAM@gmail.com> > wrote: > > >>Do you really want to trust a $400 phone to a $7 charger? >> >>I don't. >> >> > > > That's why I'm asking.

I never thought about off-phone charging. Does all the stuff stored on the phone remain intact while the battery is removed?
