    I wish there will be a rapid charger for Z10 ala PlayBook. Standard wall charger just takes too long to charge a Z10 or the battery/charger combo.

    When I read the fineprint on the standard wall charger (UK style, bought in Hong Kong) , the output seems 750 mA. Even my wife's iPhone 4 comes with 1A charger (1000 mA, I assume) and it does not seem to affect battery life after use for years.

    I've used my PlayBook charger with my old 9900 and my current Z10 with no apparent downside. I also have the SPE dual 2.3 amp USB charging adapter (CB store) in my car. Dandy for a quick boost while driving.

    Tried plugging the battery/charger combo to PB charger but the combo flashes yellow and green alternately indicating error. Guess I have to make do with slow charging.

    I plug my battery charger bundle in to my phone and then the playbook charger in to the battery bundle and it charges both at the same time with no problems.

    There have been other discussions about this very concern on these forums. For example:
    http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=801283

    Based upon reassurances in those discussions I bought a PlayBook charger for my Z10 and it works exactly like you would hope. Super fast charging (in comparison to the stock charger) with no side effects.

    Go ahead and buy it, you will be happy with the results.
