Mainline store selling usb chargers?

Maplin definitely do them, one of the lads I sit next to in work=20 bought one recently, but they're NOT CHEAP !

Mine was from ebuyer - branded Veho, and cost (IIRC) =A32.84 plus=20 postage - and allegedly does 500mA, not the pissy 130mA the ebay one=20 does !

Try N69CX, L11BR, N99CJ

They're around the £2 mark at the weekend computer fairs for 500mA and 1A ones, although that will probably be a non-CE one (with a CE sticker added, possibly). The one in the advert doesn't say what current it provides.

Mine came from ebay at 2.50 GBP from seller "phoneaccessoriesuk". Is CE (sticker) and stated current 150-600mA.

(How much current do you need from one of these anyway, for charging purposes?)

The USB 1.1 spec set a max current draw of 500mA - prior to that, several common items, notably the USB "frog" ADSL modem, were prone to pulling more - which in some cases could permanently damage the motherboard (some had non-resettable hard links).

(I haven't got one though).
