Other Devices : ZipCharge will charge most USB driven devices not requiring the

installation of software to charge.

Zip Charger Mobile Phone Compatibility Note:

The electrical output of Zip Charger is USB standard. This is compatible with the

charging requirements of the majority of mobile phones.

Some phones, including a few in the Nokia range, require a higher input voltage than

USB in order to complete the upper end of their charge process.

In these instances the phones receive charge from Zip when their batteries are in the

near empty state, but do not reach a fully charged condition. The phone prematurely

terminates the charge process, and some charge remains behind in Zip for to happen

when the phone battery is in its lower charge-level regime. Zip remains another

download into the phone, once the phone's battery level drops due to use.

In these cases two discharges by Zip are required to deliver all its energy into the

phone. These need a useful device in these instances as it provides a recharge when it

is most needed.
