NW-A45 charging via the mains electricity (help?)

monsterjazzlicks — Sun, 29 Jul 2018 17:06:26 GMT

Hi folks,

I have just purchased a Sony NW-A45 Walkman (from Amazon dot com).

Am I only able the recharge the device using the Sony USB-lead connected to my PC? Or can I use a USB-mains-plug such as the model I use to charge my Amazon Fire tablet:

Obviously not having access to a PC (as a charging device) when I am away from home is going to cause issues!

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

I believe it is possible to charge via a USB mains plug. However, I am unable to advise or recommend that the model you have linked is recommended.

For more details on charging the battery for the NW-A45 Walkman, please see here.

Best wishes,

Sean Mc

Hi Sean,

"I believe it is possible to charge via a USB mains play."

Do you mean a mains plug?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Sean,

Can you recommend a USB-mains-plug for me please? Maybe one that is similar to the Amzon Fire one?

Thanks.

Hi monsterjazzlicks,

Welcome to our community!

In this article published by Sony it's mentioned that you can use any commercially available, third party USB Power Adaptor provided that it has an output current of at least 1 A, and a voltage of 5 V.

H Batte5,

I tried looking on Amazon for such a mains-plug but over 1,000 results appeared!

Hello @monsterjazzlicks,

yes, it will.

If your phone uses a USB-charger, this one will work as well.

Hi IamNic,

So you do not ever concern yourself over such factors as 'charging-rates', etc?

Thanks,

Paul

no, since universal USB-chargers communicate with the connected device and don't let any more power trough than the device demands.
