Re: [LUG] Tablet charging through USB

 
I have the same problem with my A500, unfortunately cannot be charged with the USB, which is a pain as the charger is bulky and the cable is stupidly short

My wife has a windows tablet (Asus) that normally charges from the mains.

Does anyone know if I could charge it up through a USB port? Instead of the
power socket.

(The basic idea is to allow her to charge it up between meetings in the
car)

>From the specs:

  Power Adapter: Output: 19.5V 60W with USB charging port

So it looks like it has a dedicated power unit and the tablet takes 19.5V to charge it! (My interpretation of reading that is that the power adapter has a 2nd 5V take-off USB port to let you charge phones, etc. at the same time)

So I'd suggest it's not possibleto charge from a USB port...

Maybe you need one of these:
