Probably most people. The iPod classic has an overcurrent protection circuit which should kick in with a 10W charger. Use a standard USB port on your computer or an original charger designed for use with the classic.

Thanks for replying. I think charging my ipod classic with this adapter might cause damage inside. I can't hear anything from the audio jack Nor from the 30 pin output. Only if I turn up the volumen to its maximum level I'm able to hear just a little. I left my ipod connected to the adapter almost 1 day eveb when the ipod wasn't indicating a charger connected.

What I found out was the 10w adapter sends 2 voltages inverted. USBDP and USBDN were inverted in comparison with a 5w adapter, other non apple adapaters don't send these voltages.

I saw this in a2dtests ipod diagnostics.
