I recently bought this charger for my 80gb ipod video and the charge time is extremely slow (12 hours). This makes it pointless for me to charge at work or when away which is why i bought it. Not a good product.

This plug simply did not work with either the Samsung Z5 MP3 player or the Motorola Razor V3x. Both devices fail to charge, yet when connected to a computer or the Motorola Mini-USB charger they charge fine. On top of that the devices think they are connected to a computer which means that some signalling/power is being sent over the data channels. Avoid like the plague.

usb chargers are usually 5 volt output. This charger is 5.5 volt +/- 5%. This charger causes my mp3 to crash each time and so does not give a charge. Strangely it will charge my mobile phone. Be cautious if the required output voltage is critical. In the seller’s favour, a full refund was given without argument or delay

Ages ago bought one from amazon 3rd party seller (don’t know if was from this supplier, I think they are basically all the same device). That one worked fine, still does. One from this seller bought recently didn’t, mp3 player thought it was a computer and claimed to be writing data rather than charging. Returned it for refund.
To be fair to this seller, I then bought a similar item from local electronics shop – that one worked once, then started doing the _exact_ same thing this one did.
So it seems the basic design of these devices is a bit hit-and-miss. They might work, they might not. If they work they are a bargain, but you have to factor in the return postage for all the ones that don’t. Am considering getting a £15 one from Argos instead, at least if that doesn’t work its easy to return.

I bought this product to charge up my iPod nano v2, however even overnight it had no effect on the charge level of my iPod. It charges bluetooth devices fine, but if you are looking for a usb charger for an iPod – look elsewhere.
