iphone and Jabra car charger

I have a Jabra Bluetooth which has a car charger with a USB connection. It's output is rated at 5VDC/750mA. Is this by any chance compatible with the iphone 3Gs? Will it damage the iphone if I try to charge with it?
thanks

iphone 3GS, iPhone OS 3.1.2

The voltage is usually all you need to be concerned about. All USB connectors would have the various voltages on the same pins. Take a look at the current rating on the OEM charger you have. If the Jabra charger meets or exceeds that, you're good.

Thanks
The voltage is 12 volt (input). I assume the output is what matters, and it is 5V DC, and 750 mA. I don't know how to find out what the iphone car charger puts out, since that would show if it's compatible. I didn't see any listing in the iphone specs.

Your eyes are probably younger than mine. The specs are on the A/C adapter that came with the iPhone. I just don't have a magnifying glass handy.

It COULD work. I don't think it will damage your phone if it DOESN'T work, however! 98% certain!
