mA power on revos battery charger!?

[madevil]

How many mA are in psion revo+ original charger!? I've lost my original and I thougt that I buy some ordinary charger from the market. I haven't found any specs of that charger from anywhere, so if someone could watch his own charger and tell me the right mA number I would be very pleased.

The mains adaptor for the Revo is 6V, 500mA and positive tip. Make sure you get a regulated device though if you are not buying an official Psion power supply.

Hmm.. actually I was thinking to use my ownn patent... My portable cd player's charger and suitable connector. That charger is 550mA and 6V. Do you think that could be a harmful for my psion?

It depends if the mains unit is regulated. Voltage fluctuations can cause damage to the Psion and, as the Revo's batteries are very temperamental at the best of times, it really isn't worth playing about with something that's not suitable.
