Anybody come across a USB travel charger for the XDA II? I have the USB cable just need a charger that outputs 5v and between 1 and 2amps and has the usual US, UK, EU, Aus and NZ attachements. Expansys.com have one but outputs 5.5v - not sure if that will damage the battery, proporta.com have one also but outputs 9v! Why these chargers don't stick to the standard 5v is beyond me.
not sure what you mean but usb in this context
the connector in the buttom of the xda2 is not a usb connector
and usb cant provide more then 500mA
If you have a usb cable for xda 2 you can acquire a lighter adaptor into which you plug the cable, this will give the correct voltage.

Some power adapters come with USB sockets - I think it should become a standard so with the same cable you can get power from laptop/cigarette lighter/mains. Ericsson used RJ11 cables (modem cable) for it's mobile phone chargers but it never caught on.

Thanks for the link, I have two of them already, looking for something to plug into mains.
Mark,
I think I know what you mean: A plug (either 12v in-car or 110V/230V mains) that supplies just +5V DC on a USB socket.
Received one with my retractable sync'n'charge cable from time168.com (but those guys dont exist anymore).
Also received two with my BT GPS from DConnex.
I would say they are for sale on eBay, at least with the sellers that supply these sync'n'charge cables.
I made an emergency charger myself based on USB: 4 NiMH AA cells (1.2V each) in a battery-holder & wired to a USB socket. Not pretty, but good enough for emergency.
You might want to look at www.javoedge.com. They have a USB retractable sync/charge cable and you can also get adapters that allow you to plug the usb cable into a US/European/wherever plug socket adapter.

I had a look at those - they're not really travel chargers just US and EU chargers and a bulky adapter for the UK.

That sounds like a good idea. Proporta.com have a 9v charger
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=940&t_mode=des but I was thinking AA batteries would be easier to get in an emergency.
Since I only know basic electronics I used 4 rechargeable NiMH cells that gice approx 4.8v alltogether. With normal (alkaline) AA cells you probably end up above 6V. I would not try that . . .
Setback of my solution is to have an AAcharger with me for longer trips.
About the travel adapter: The usb travel adapters I have came in two flavours:
1. Car cigarette lighter use
2. Mains use. I also got a number of 'plugs' with it to make the adaptor fit a variety of mains wall outlets.
anyone ever come across any longer than average account chargers? been trying to find one on the net with no luck. I know I can use a account adapter with a usb port and get a longer micro usb cable but I dont like the thickness and weight of normal usb cables.
Go to amazon and buy a micro-usb sync cable. I got one of those that was like 15feet and plugged it into the wall charger adapter thing that came with the phone
Does anyone know of a good, working airline charger that I could buy that would plug into the armrest on an airline so that I can charge my A101IT?
I'd prefer one that hooks from the armrest directly to the A101IT without the need to attach and/or buy 1 or more cables to the initial airline adapter to get the A101IT to charge.
Basically, like this but without the car adapter part.
Looking to spend no more than $20 USD.
You could also get this - http://www.newmp3technology.com/mc101.htm which will work with the other part.
But don't most planes have USB ports these days so you could use this - http://www.newmp3technology.com/adc101.htm
I don't know if planes these days have USB ports in the armrest because it's been a while since I've been on one but I did happen to already buy the 2nd cable with the usb part so I could charge it through my laptop.
As far as the 1st one, I already have the car adapter for my vehicle and do not want to buy another adapter or continue to take it in and out of my vehicle to then take it on a plane and return it back to my vehicle once I'm back. So again, I am looking for one that goes directly from the Airline Adapter part in the armrest directly to the A101IT WITHOUT connecting more cables like the car adapter to it. Just 1-to-1.... if it something like that exists for airlines?
Like so: http://www.newmp3technology.com/airlineadapter-a101.htm
(without the car adapter part, just have the 3.5mm barrel connector on the other side of the airline adapter).
I have a cable which plugs into my charging port which then has a usb slot on the end. I want to watch films on my tablet which I can now do but I also need to be able to charge the tablet at the same time. Is there some kind of double socket I can plug into the charger point that I can then use to plug the charger and my existing usb cable into use both at the same time? What would this be called, I've tried searching splitters and adapters but this only seems to come up with car chargers which is not what I need.
Thanks!
I'm looking for one of two options:
1) A wireless charging receiver (USB Type C) that also has a female USB type c to allow me to plug in the adapter for headphones, or a charging cable for when there's no wireless charging device nearby.
2) A small and portable splitter dongle so that the wireless charging receiver can be installed as well as an adapter for headphones, or a charging cable for when there's no wireless charging device nearby.
Anyone see anything like this around? I know there's a similar thread asking for a splitter (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/accessories/usb-c-splitter-charging-t3723795), but everything in that thread is too large for me to carry around all the time in my pocket.
I understand this possibly violates USB type C spec since it's essentially allowing two sources of power, but I'm never going to plug in a charging cable while it's sitting on a wireless charger.
