Can I charge it using a non-sony charger?

[damaru-inc]

Hi,

I wonder if I could use the charger from my old HTC Desire Z phone to charge the Z1 Compact? They both use identical USB cables attached to a wall socket-usb adapter. I guess the only danger is that if the old charger provides significantly more power, perhaps it could damage the Z1. I can't find any documentation that says what the actual power requirement is for charging. I'm hoping that all the power-usb adaptors provide the same voltage?

Thanks

It should be now problem to charge with a non-sony charger - i´m using a nexus 7 charger with 2,0 A since the Xperia Z

You have to look for the voltage,it must not exceed 5V.The amperage does not damage your phone.But it is recommended to use sony original chargers.
