Long History: Time ago I had a problem with my buddy's DS and now since it's fixed is time to give him again the joy of playing is pokemans and I forcing him to others games/cough/
But yeah I need a new charger to give him fast as possible and paying less possible xD
Since the last problem was caused bu bad use of a way to charge it,I was trying to understand better why it was caused and how to avoid
The problem was caused by a generic cellphone USB charged and a USB mini just plugged on the ds charger plug and ir worked... until it burned the fuses lol someone told me that the DS charger was 3v, and cellphones was 5v , so this is why stuff happened like this
My plan was to give him my original charger, since I have one form gamestop that came with my new3DS(I bought used from someone that got it in USA), it's usb and have a 2 way wire, 3DS(family) and DSlite(DSi and stuff?) to usb, I never really used it on any, because I was without a DSlite and I still had my retail charger from my dead old3DS
TLDR:
My friend got his DSl damaged by wrong charger usage, I'm worried that my Game Stops charger can damage a DSlite or a (new)3DS because the output is too different from their respective retail chargers as you ca see below:
DSlite charger:
5.2V... wasn't it 3v? and 450mA
It's say that it's
So maybe a high Amperage that burned it, not the voltage?
GameStop's Charger:
also 5V but 1.0A??
What about my retail 3DS'?
4.6V 900mA
...
listing:
DSl: 5.2V 450mA
3DS:4.6V 900mA
GS :5v 1.0A
the difference isn't that big, but mean that it could kill the DSl again? for the 3DS the difference isn't big, but for the DSl is ... so don't seems safe to give him it, or even use it myself? o_o
I have here my old nokia Asha charger that is 5V and 450mA, so if I modded it to a usb mini(or actual DS charger slot usb thing), it would be fine to charge the DSlite? (I noticed that it not, I was going to do it and tested, it gave 7V o_o idk I'm all lost here now but no adaptations XD)
Edit: I already gave him the DS charger just to be sure, but I'm worried if this Gamestop charger may burn my DSlite if used
