Joye Ego usb charger question

[Evil Penguin]

I recently bought a Joye eGo, I bought it from health cabin. Anyway, I needed an additional usb charger, but I decided to buy it locally. So the problem is the following:

This is the USB charger that came with my starter kit: www.healthcabin.net/images/420mAh%20eGo%20USB%20Charger.jpg

as you can see, it says:

Input DC 5v 500mA
Output DC 4.2V 420mA
Red and Green LED

And this is the charger I got (in attachment).

Input DC 5v 0.5A
Output DC 4.2V 0.3A
Red and Blue LED.

So, my question is: Can I use this charger? I did test one full ego battery and it was recognised by the charger as full, so it appears it works. But, maybe I'm wrong. As much as I know about electrical stuff, it only means it will charge slower, but.....


Thanks in advance for any help.

Not a complete expert on volts & amps but I would think that should be Ok.

They are both 5V & I'm fairly certain that 500mA is the same as 5A?

I think you'll find that it will be OK to use, it will just take longer to charge your battery.

.5A is the same as 500mA
