If my device is not listed
on the compatibility list, will it work with TekCharge MP1800? |
| |
TekCharge MP1800 works with most devices that require
5V. The compatibility obstacle for TekCharge MP1800
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 MP1800
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
MP1800. However, if you cannot find your specific model
in the compatibility list, but see similar models,
it is likely that TekCharge MP1800 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. |
