    about charging the player

    Hi there,
    I have a Motorola phone which has the same usb cable that the meizu has.
    The Motorola phone also has a charger that has the same connection that the meizu has. So I was wondering if I could use the charger on the Meizu?

    what is the output of the charger? It must provide 5V and at least 400mA --> then you can use it for your miniplayer

    It would be fine. The battery in a Mobile is bigger than a Meizu one so the capacity of the charger would be enough.

    Well the charger says this:
    Model 5100
    Input: 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz, 0.2A
    Output: 5.0V ---… (put the lines on top of the dots) 550mA
    Also I live in Israel so the electricity is different.

    In what sense: it does not shock you perhaps? ;-)
    (according to Wikipedia you also have the same 230V 50Hz as Europe, only the plug might be different)

    The output current of that Motorola charger is well enough then, the mini-USB pinout is standard - so it is safe to use

    that is correct, but does not matter: you should only care about the output voltage/load
    (besides, I think everybody who answered is from Europe/UK)

    I have the same answer,but my charger is 650mA.
    BUT on the meizu there is written " 5 V= 400mA MAX"!
    So are you sure that we can charge the SL with theese charger?

    Thank you.

    The 400mA MAX means that the player requires 400mA from the charger when in maximum energy use. It means your charger has to be rated for 400mA or more. So a 550mA charger is fine.
    A charger with less than 400mA might get too hot and blow up if your player requires 400mA from it.
