Ah-ha, finally a FT thread I know something about

I've not found any difference between M16 and M15 (I think I have both) but I've not opened them up to see if they have different resistors (which would change output voltage and/or current limit).

With either of them, you'll want to invest in at least one of these priceless little gems:

which converts a typical MiniUSB power supply to provide a USB socket like your computer has - thus you can use *ANY* USB "charging" cable you might happen to have.

I use one with my APC UPB10, one with my Jabra charging cable, keep one with my mini-USB power supply, one with my each of my ChargeSource (Kensington) supplies, etc.....

Did I mention you should probably buy a *few* of them at once?

HTH,
Richard
