Charger of N82 is dead; is it safe to use charger of 1200?

Posted by adnansanni
Guys, My N82’s charger; Nokia AC-5E is dead. I’m not sure about that I’m going to get warranty for that. May be it is burn case. I’ll contact them (Nokia Care Center) day after tomorrow because tomorrow they close for weakly. Today I went local market; they asked $40 for Nokia AC-5E. I didn’t buy because want to know what Nokia Care Centre tell me. So it is going to take some long time to get new one or replace. My question is; is it safe to use Nokia AC-3E charger instead of Nokia AC-5E? I have AC-3E with Nokia 1200.

Here are the speciations of both chargers:
Nokia AC-3E
Input: 100-240V 50-60Hz/100mA
Output: 5.0V/350mA

Nokia AC-5E
Input: 100-240V 50-60Hz/130mA
Output: 5.0V/800mA

See, the output volt is same only mA is difference. If I charge my N82 with Nokia AC-3E then it takes double time than usual time for fully charged because it has lower output of mA. I’m not sure about it that it is safe. Can anybody advice?

A Nokia charger is a Nokia charger, it's just the cheaper ones might take a bit longer to charge it.

If it fits, it'll charge, you can't hurt it lol

Why you not buy one new on Ebay??

Today I went Customer Care Center, The received the charger and said, come back with in 1 hour. Later they give me a new one but it was AC-3E. I told them with this charger N82 takes minimum 6 hours to fully charge then they told me to wait another 15 minutes and after that give a new AC-5E.

This type of quick reply (within 1 hour and half) and a new one, I didn’t expect from them in my country. Looks like they really starting to care their customer in Bangladesh. Good for us.

P.S. I bought my N82’s 20 days ago. May be for this reason they gave me a new one.
