Would mintyboost work with palm TX?
I wanna build one to boost my batteries, but i'm not sure it'd work.

Take the wall charger for it.
Flip it over.
Look under "Output".
Post the data.

If it charges though usb - possibly.

If it does have an adapter that plugs into the wall, and it says 5v then yes.
otherwise no.

I know my friend wanted one for his Sony Clie, but its 5 votls @ 2000mA.
So make sure you check both

there is -NO WAY- the clie requires 2000mA

by **zachninme** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 4:15 pm

Really? You should see it.
It may not be clie, but I am 90% sure it is Sony.

I will check with him.

EDIT: Yep! 5.2 v @ 2000mA for a Sony Clie ux50

thats just the rating, itll run at a lower current. the battery itself is no more than 1Ah

Oh...

I'm stupid :-P

I guess I'll just check to see if MB works with it, if not, I will actually figure it out :-P

its not a stupid thing, its just the way electronics are rated: its not obvious

by **bohrier** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:19 am

sorry about the late reply
the charger says: 5.2v, 0.5A

It should be able to work but realize that you will be drawing alot more current than the MintyBoost was designed for. Your batteries will get hot and your chip as well.
