Can Sansa Fuze use other chargers?

[V3ndetta]

Well I have a camera (Samsung NV3) that has this charger that connects to the wall. I connect my Samsung USB into it to charge my camera, and I'm just wondering if you can connect the Fuze into it and use that as a charger.

The voltage and milliampes might be on the low side.

[V3ndetta]

ohh.... don't know what that is...but sounds like i shouldn't use it xD

[advcomp2019]

If you stay around 5 volts(v) +/- .2 volts and 500mA to 1000mA, you should be safe.

a majority of the usb wall chargers will work with the Sansa usb cable. I haven't come across one yet who's voltage was too high. Most are made for lower voltage devices with out a big amp draw.

One easy thing to do is pick up one of those little charging stations. They're usually leather clad or wood and have spots for charging 4 or so items. Instead of using a bulky surge protector, buy a usb hub and just plug that in. You can charge anything you have with a usb cable then. You don't even need the station. Just plug a USB hub in anywhere and use it as a charging station instead of individual AC chargers.

500 mA should be enough as Fuze is only using standard "High Power" USB connector specificated with max 0,5 A = 500 mA and will not consume more.

I think you must use 1000mA charger. My 500mA charger doesn't work with my Fuze, but the 1000mA charger works fine.

Appletree, did you know that USB ports put out 500mA? What kind of charger is it? I have 500mA chargers and have not got issues on my Clip, View, and e200 series.

Yeah, I know that. But my 500mA charger won't work with my Fuze, and it's so strange this charger works fine with my Samsung YP-U3. So, I have to buy a 1000mA charger again and it works fine with my Fuze now. Besides that, you have to switch ON your computer if you want to recharging your Fuze via USB port. Fuze won't recharge if your computer in standby mode. Actually, I'm not so sure with the actual mA output rate of my chargers. I'm using third party chargers. Maybe the actual mA rate is lower than the value which written on my charger's sticker label.

Someone here, can't remember who, said their computer would charge thru the USB port even when the computer is off.....mine, however, has to be on for it to work

It's computer-specific; some models (usually, newer models) are allowing for USB power even when the computer if off (reflecting how people are coming to use USB ports).

Can a Fuze or an ipod nano use a Kodak camera USB wall charger? They're brand new, and I don't want to fry them or something by using the wrong charger!

On the charger it says:
Input: 100-240V , 50/60Hz , MAX 0.2A
Output: 5V , 1A

[advcomp2019]

Kamikazewatermelon, that looks OK to me.

Hi everyone,

I just bought a Sansa Fuze. I tried to charge it with a charger very similar to those you have mentioned here. The only difference with what has been mentioned here is that the output is 400+/-50 mA. These are its characteristics

Input: AC100-240V , 50/60Hz , MAX 0.2A
Output: DC5V +/-5% , 400+/-50mA

Is that the problem? I want to be sure before buying another one that will work.
Thanks in advance!

[advcomp2019]

That one looks good. So you can try it. I just hope it does not have an iPod dock port on it.

The 30Gig (1st Generation) Micro$oft Zune wall charger works on my Sansa Fuze.

At least some of the parts of my bricks (Charger and anti static cleaning wipes) work with the Fuse.

I have a griffin power block
input 100-240volts 50-60hrz
output5.2 volt 1000ma
will this work with the fuze?

[jackfuze]

If it has a USB jack and you're plugging in your Fuze USB cable, it should work fine. I've used a bunch of different power supplies and most of them work fine.

The only one that hasn't worked only put out 450 ma. I don't know for sure if the low amperage is why it didn't work, but I suspect so.

[notrigger]

i got an Ipod wall charger. Can i charge my Fuze with it, without any problems?

100-240V~ 0.15A (0,15A) 50-60Hz
............... ___
Output: 5V ---- 1A

thanks for the help
