Are all USB chargers 5 volts?

Re: Are USB cables all the same voltage? All USB ports are 5 volts DC. The transformer (or computer) will take care of converting the 120/220 AC current to the necessary 5 volts DC.

Can I charge my phone at 5.1 V?

Yes, you can use it. The charger must be suitable for the battery of the smartphone. If not, then there will be some consequences for you.

Is USB a 12V or 5V?

Since USB connections put out 5v DC power, devices that use this type of adapter are all designed to run on that voltage input.

Can I use a 5V 4A charger with a 5V 1a device?

Yes, it is absolutely safe to charge a device with a charger that has more current capacity than needed. Since the voltage is held constant (5V), the only factor that determines current draw is the load (another term for resistance) the device places on the charger.

What is the voltage of a USB battery charger?

USB 1 and 2 spec is 5v +- 5\% which is 4.75 to 5.25v, so 5.1v is with USB specification. All chargers supply a higher voltage than the batteries they charge. That is pretty much how they work. There has to be a voltage differential to produce the necessary current flow in the correct direction to charge the battery.

Is it possible to charge a battery to 5V?

Thus, it should be possible to charge a battery to 5V using a 5V charger. As for higher voltages, it has more to do with heat than voltage. If the component is rated for 5V then the excess becomes power loss/voltage loss (=heat) since the circuit is designed to use only a certain current and a certain voltage.

What does 5V and 0A mean on power supply?

A power supply specifying 5.0 V and 0.7 A output means that the voltage across its output should be 5.0 V while any current between 0 A and 0.7 A is drawn by the load on its output. Your measurements would indicate that none of your power supplies are meeting that specification exactly; but there are two effects you must consider:

How many volts do I need to charge my phone?

From these figures I guess the phone needs at least 4.7 V to charge and it regulates the current intake accordingly. All three chargers look identical and are marked (click for full view). Do I have faulty chargers or does 5.0V 0.7A actually mean “can output 700 mA with whatever voltage drop is necessary”?
