I think yes. Wattage is just for the maximum capacity "it can supply" to the device when needed.
Voltage should be the one that is checked - it must be the same.
HD6 charger - 1A x 5V = 5W
charger powerfast 9W-1,8A then I suppose (1.8A x 5V = 9W)???
So technically if your fire hd6 needed more power than just 5W, your 9W charger would be much faster.
*DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK*
Just be sure it is 9W and not 9V.
Yes. It'll be fine. The charger will take the amperage it is capable of taking in.

Hi all
Long time Android addict and just got myself a transformer at the weekend. I have been puzzling the best way to charge it in car (read the threads on the subject) when I happened to wander in to Asda and spotted a mini 75W 12-230v power inverter on sale reduced from £20 to £5!. They are exactly the same as ones that sell on Ebay for 2-4 times that price out of Hongkong e.g.
12V to Mains 75w Car Van Mini Power Inverter Adaptor | eBay
I bought one and tried it on the way home from the store with the Asus AC charger and the transformer and it worked perfectly.
As a bonus it has a usb port built in not only rated at 1000ma but wired to be recognised as an AC charger (many arn't) which means it will do full speed charging on an android phone. So it should supply enough current to charge my HTC Desire even when using it as a satnav (many don’t). The only downside is that the flange on the Asus mains charger covers the edge of the USB port on the inverter so you cannot use both the AC and the USB at the same time without trimming the flange on the Asus a little.
Anyway I thought this was too good a deal not to share it with you guys.

The ASUS AC charger is normally working very close to it's limits when running off fairly stable AC mains. Running off this modified sine wave poorly regulated device may be enough to push it past its limits. If you want a good mobile solution that you can use for the TF and other small DC devices, search for the thread by Devcake where he lists options and actual reviews.

Does your TF indicate charging, e.g. with Dual Battery Widget, using this bullet charger?
E.g. If it outputs 11V-12V it should indicate charging on the TF, but if less than 11V, say 5V-10V, it would trickle charge only (no indicator).
I got one from same guy, and it does not work. I measured 2.8V output.

Mine arrived today. I hooked it up to 12v and tested the pins, got 2.8v. Then plugged i transformer and waited about 20 seconds. The transformer said it was charging on AC. I havent checked to see how quickly it was charging, but it gave the charging indication with the screen on.
EDIT: Tried it on another vehicle and now won't charge. Weird!
Any update to this working?
$1.99
I use this one for my phone (HTC Desire HD). It should also be okay for the Transformer, right?

This one arrived today, there is one small issue with it, when you first plug it in the lighter the blue light gets bright and the asus orange light goes on and eventually green showing also the charging symbol, but if you unplug the cable from the charger and plug back in, it wont work, you have to unplug the charger from the lighter and plug back in. weird... But it works
This claims to be even more powerful. Just ordered but it will takes ages to get to me.

sorry, I don't think it will work.. the transformer needs 15V to charge, that one only is a 5V charger. i'd cancel my order.
OK, let's go over this again. The TF will charge with 5V at 1.5 amp but take forever to do so. The amps has nothing to do with it. It is the volts. If you feed the TF with 11V to 15V at 1.5 amp's or more it goes into the fast charge mode and charges in about 2 hrs. Anything that says 5V will charge the TF if you have several days to wait. If you have just hours you must charge using 11 to 15 volts at 1.5 amp or more to charge with. This is what the original power supply is doing. Please look at the specifications printed on the original charging brick. Note that it has dual outputs 5V and 15V if you plug your phone into the ASUS charger the charger is smart enough to know not to output 15V however when you plug in the TF the charger outputs 15V to charge the TF in the speedy mode.
Please read over "Dvecakes" thread for even more details and items you can use to charge the TF on the go and at home.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone by chance tried this car charger?

I want to put together a car charger to just leave in the car.
I've bought the powerbank 7000 A-Solar. Just for recharging my prime in those "no power sockets" situations. But when i connect it the charge lights do not turn on(yes the powerbank has been fully charged). Now i've read somewhere that even though the charge lite does not turn on it does charge the device. Anyone tried the same/have results with powerbanks? I know the prime needs 15V 1,2A for charging and the powerbank has a output of 5V 1A.
it will charge very slowly with such a device. Similar to using a PC and your power cord. The Prime needs to be off for it to charge at 5V

^^^ That.
i have this tablet for a couple days now, when i plug the power adapter to the mains the power adapter gets really hot.
does anyone have the same result or is just normal? i know that the adapter obviously will get hot, but it seems a bit to hot, just the adapter the usb cable is fine and so is the tablet
Its normal. If it gets to hot it shuts off. I hear you have to put it in the freezer to attempt to bring it back.

well, i just dont want to wake up one morning and find the all lot burned.
but it does get really hot
Noticed the same thing with mine. I'm actually on my second pad for other reasons, but I didn't notice the charger getting as hot with my first one. But it only seems to get hot when actively charging. I've checked it after letting it sit still plugged in, but after it finished charging and it was fine.
I just try not to leave it charging if I'm sleeping or going out. Although, I forgot to unplug it this time...

No. Other threads in this forum tell you why.
the reason the charger gets so hot is it's 15 volts
and it takes minimum 12 volts for the tablet to kick into charging mode
so to answer your question
a usb port does charge the tablet, but usb is only 5 volts
so it will not show charging
and it will probably take 24 hrs to fully charge
Mine gets hot while charging but once it hits 100% it cools back down. I don't charge it while sleeping for this reason. Also according to the manual the PC will charge it bult as previously mentioned it takes longer. The tablet must be powered off when charging this way or it won't charge.

Same as other itt, it will heat up when charging, but if it's left in the wall unplugged from the tab/dock it cools back down.
Perhaps it needs 12v for full charge speed, but the 300 also trickle charges when plugged into a computer USB port.
i have notice that, when it finishes charging, that just cools down, i was just wondering did i get a faulty one, but as ye say its normal
thanks for all the replys
Luca
even there the charger gets very hot, so it is normal, also, we are going to have very hot temps these days, (40°C here)...
just be sure to not plug it near easy flammable things!
ciao
Yes we have noticed the charger gets very hot might have something to do with fast recharge time the device has

Good evening,
On my charger i notice it is wrting : "output 5v--2A or 15v --1.2A"
This mind that i can use the charger for any phone that charge usualy wiht 5V ?? Do the charger "swap" the voltage by him self if it's not connect to the tablet ???
I don't want to burn my HTC, but to have one charger for the tablet and the phone will be good when travelling
Thanks

The charger that comes with the Transformer is dual-purpose. If you plug in a Transformer tablet, it'll output the 15V to rapid-charge your Transformer. If you plug in a USB device, it'll output 5V at 2A to rapid-charge your USB device.
If you're wondering how it can tell the difference, Pin #7 on the USB3 Transformer cable is grounded -- this is how the charger can tell the difference between a Transormer and an ordinary USB device.

In fact the charger of Asus is quite tricky. I haven't found any substitution, only stock charger can be used.

It's not a non-standard connector -- it's a USB 3.0 connector.
If you use a USB 3.0 extension cable, it will work. If you use a non-USB 3.0 extension cable, the charger won't see that pin 7 is grounded, so you'll just get 5V instead of 15V. There's no bi-directional communication between the two.
The Transformer will charge when it sees 12V to 15V on what's typically the 5V pin.
The Asus charger will output 15V (earlier units were 12V) when it senses pin 7 is grounded.
Also, if you'd like to build your own power supply -- get any old female USB connector, and send 12V to 15V on pin 1 instead of 5V, and you've got yourself an Asus Transformer charger. Just don't plug anything else into it, since there's no safeguard to prevent 12-15V going into a 5V device. I've painted mine orange so I don't mistake it.
Hi, my Transformer pad won't charge normally when I connect it to the power adapter direclty - it doesn't show it's charging (though I can tell it is, because after some half an hour it had 2 % more of battery)... can it be that the charger doesn't recognize the tab and gives only 5V? Why? It works normally when I charge it on the docking station (through the power adapter), and the same cable works normally when I use it to transfer media to the pad from the PC...
P.S. When conneted to the power adapter directly, the orange light on the power button of the pad doesn't go on... it only goes on when the pad is on the dock and the power adapter is plugged into it.
Any ideas?

Hello, I have a HTC phone and I wonder if it is safe to charge my P7500 tab.
The phone charger characteristics are:
Input: 100-240V/200 mA
Output: 5V/1A
Thank you!
Hi,
The GT charger output is rated at 5V at 2amps. It's important for the voltage to be 5V! But the current (Amps) must never be less than 2amps!
So your HTC charger at 1 Amp is too low, and will cause problems with the charger (might burn out and get super hot = dangerous..
NOpe
I dont recommend my friend at all. low amp
Mickey
I think I can not !
My Gtab Sch-i905 will ONLY charge when plugged into the charge block it came with. will not charge any other way unless it is powered off. I HATE THAT.
