Can Apple USB AC adapter be used to charge other things?
Sorry for the slightly odd question. I'm hoping someone who knows their electrical engineering can help me out.
I have an older Apple USB iPod AC Adapter (not the current compact one.)
Can it be used to charge a Nintendo DS Lite?
I'm traveling to Thailand soon, where outlets are 240V, but the supplied DS charger only goes up to 120V. Instead of buying and bringing along a whole other adapter, I'd rather use what I already have.
I do have a DS-to-USB cord to plug into the Apple adapter. The Apple AC Adapter's output specs are 5.0V, 1.0A. The specs on the charger that comes with the DS are 5.2V, 450mA.
However, the specs on other 3rd party adapters for the DS Lite that I looked at all seem to match the Apple adapter. Is there anything about the Apple adapter that would prevent it from doing the job or differentiates it from other adapters? Would I be damaging the DS by charging it a couple of times with this adapter?
