Compatibility

Will TekCharge MP1580 work with my device?

TekCharge MP1580 works with hundreds of personal electronic devices. For a list of compatible devices, go to: TekCharge MP1580 Compatibility

The MP1580 is compatible with devices that require less than 1000 mA. Due to the increased output required by many smartphones (such as Droid, Evo and Nexus) the MP1550 must not be used to power or charge these phones. The TekCharge MP1860A, however, is ideal for these phones.

If my device is not listed on the compatibility list, will it work with TekCharge MP1580?

TekCharge MP1580 works with most devices that require 5V. The compatibility obstacle for TekCharge MP1580 is the physical connection to the power jack. Device manufacturers all use varying types of jacks, so an adapter must be used to connect the TekCharge MP1580 cable to the device, or you can use your USB device cable in place of the adapter.

The adapters that fit a majority of the jack types are included with TekCharge MP1580. However, if you cannot find your specific model in the compatibility list, but see similar models, it is likely that TekCharge MP1580 will work with your device. You can assume that the model has not been included in the compatibility list, as we have not yet identified the adapter type on that specific device.

Tekkeon makes every effort to identify the adapter plug requirements of new devices. However, due to the large number of devices available, we are not able to identify the adapter requirements for every device.
