In other words, if you connect it to any charger which causes it to display the Low Power Charger warning, it will behave as if it is connected to a PC USB port. It won't matter if that charger is capable of supplying 1A, 2A, 2.4A or even 3A, it will only draw 0.5A, and it will charge very, very, slowly.
