do we have any electricians here? i been looking for a definate answer and can't find it. i have my pda incar charger stolen, i replaced it but only with the ratings different. can anyone tell me whether the charger will damage my pda, or blow it? the output for the original is charger is:

output 5v----1A

and now my replaced one:

output 5.5v +_5%

What type of battery does it have?

The likelyhood is that it has in built protection and a constant current charge so should be OK.

In my view it is unlikely to damage your product. because it is the current that is the greatest issue here and the limit is 1000mA which is equal to 1A. Also the original 5v product would have had a tolerance on it even if not stated.
