Charging Question... Please Help

**FSeverino** · 02-03-2013, 01:28 PM

I want to be sure not to lose power with my Z10, but I also want to power up my playbook if i need to.

I know that the PB charger works with the 9900, so would the battery/case charger for Z10 also juice up the PB?
BlackBerry Battery Charger Bundle (ACC-50256-101) for Z10 | BlackBerry Batteries | CrackBerry Canada

if that doesnt work, does anyone know if this other CB store product is any good?
Dexim BluePack S8 3000mAh Battery Pack (DCA171) | BlackBerry USB Chargers | CrackBerry Canada

I would really appreciate the help because I want both devices to be able to be fully topped at all times.

I'm pretty sure either one should work, considering that they're both microUSB. Having said that, I don't know the amperage ratings for either one, so you may end up getting slower than expected charge times for your PlayBook.

The bundled PlayBook charger is rated at 1.8A (5V). Part number is HDW-34724-001

The "small" Z10 charger that was bundled with mine is rated at 0.75A (5V). Part number is HDW-24481-001

From 0% to at least 70% it will charge the PlayBook probably 40% the speed of the regular charger (i.e. taking 2.5x as long), if I "eyeball" the calculation.
