So I just bought an iPod Nano 6th Gen and it didn't come with a wall adapter to charge,
I figured that I could probably get around having to buy a new general apple wall adapter that is like $40. I'm hoping that given the go ahead I would be able to utilize an old LG phone charger.
The only problem is that I don't know if it is "safe" to use with my nano. BTW, the nano is able to charge from my laptop usb port safely.
All of the following wall adapters have the USB port to 110 V
Apple Wall adapter, 5 V, 1 A, Max power draw = 5 W
LG Wall adapter, 5.1 V, 0.7 A, Max power draw= 3.6 W
Laptop USB port 5 V, 0.5 A, Max power draw = 2.5 W
In looking at this I can deduce that the power supplied by the LG adapter is more than enough when compared to the Laptop,
My questions are:
By overvolting it with 5.1 instead of 5, will that ruin the nano?
Is there such thing as having too much power, aka if I had a 50 W adapter, would it still possibly work with my nano?
In the end, will the LG adapter work with my Nano,
Thanks for your forthcoming expertise,
Jake
