Archos forum / Psp Chargers Work On Av500!

« on: July 17, 2006, 10:16:21 pm »

I have had your post in my mind for the past week or so.  I finally bought a PSP power supply at Best Buy.  It is a Pelican brand.  The tip is just a tad too large for the AV500.

Has anyone tried the combination USB cable/DC Power/Mini USB ables?

Tim,

Sorry to hear about the Pelican charger.  I have the Sony branded charger that came with the PSP.

Also, I have tried the Datel cable that i think you are talking about.  This is the link to the one i bought:

I does work.  One tip plugs into the usb port and the other into the power port.  It is a little bit of a tight squeeze though. You might need to shave the plastic on one tip a little bit.  I have left it in long enough to do a full charge, just long enough to see if it actually worked.

As you can tell from the title of this topic, i have just figured out that all of my PSP chargers work with my AV500.

I have an iGo multipurpose charger for my notebook computer.  These chargers will allow you to simultaneously charge portable mobile devices.  So I decided to see if they had a tip that would allow me to charge my AV500.  I did a search on the iGo website for the AV500, and the tip it showed me was for the PSP.  My curiousity was peeked.

So I pulled out my PSP chargers and compared them to charger that came with the AV500, and sure enough everything (voltages, etc) matched up.  I then plugged in the PSP charger and hooked it up to the AV500.  Everything worked great!

I will admit that this isn't something to get overly excited about.  But, I am very happy that i do not have to buy additional chargers for my new AV500 now.  My PSP wall and car chargers work great.  I also have a Pelican Power Brick (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007U2CZE/103-8357115-3979034?v=glance&n=468642) that I am curious about as a battery back up.

I guess that this will help some of you out as it makes a whole line of chargers readily accessable.  All you have to do is go out to your local electronics store or toys r us, and pick up a charger.

Hope this helps some of you
