Verizon told me NOT to use aftermarket chargers! Truth to this?

When I bought the Dare today, the salesman told me NOT to buy aftermarket chargers. He told me they will not charge the Dare correctly and possibly overcharge them and/or cause the batteries to have a memory, and reducing the life.

I would like to buy a second charger to keep at work ( I work 24 hour shifts ) , but dont want to spend the $$$ on an OEM charger.

Some chargers I saw on the internet claim to have chips inside that detect the charge of the battery and turn off when charged.   Even the cheap $6 chargers say this.  I find this hard to believe though.

Your thoughts and experiences on aftermarket chargers are appreciated.

Thanks

Chargers are not as complex as people seem to think they are. As long as the input/output specifications are correct for the phone (and the build quality is up to par) then there should not be any problems.

I have used various chargers for various items in various countries without problems.  Not all of them have been OEM for the particular device.

A half volt variance and a .2 A variance I don't think will hurt a thing.  Your call to make.

"That's what she said..."



-Oh, I am tooooo funny.

As mentioned a good rule of thumb is to make sure the voltage is the same and only a minor difference in amperage.

A second good rule is "If the phone says it does not like it unplug it". It will tell you if it does not like it or recognize it.
