charge through computer or wall wart charger?

[egeorge1]

At work I keep my usb cable plugged into my computer usb for charging instead of the wall wart charger. Is it better or faster to charge one way over the other?

I don't know about better, but it sure is faster when I charge through the wall.

Absolutely faster to charge through the wall, I believe most usb ports supply .5v out while the wall wart is .75

It already takes several hours to charge through the AC adapter. Punzada is correct about the output of USB ports. It would take even longer to charge via USB. In fact I would spring for a high quality 1A charger instead.

It isn't easy to find a 1A output wall charger. I am using this one, with the cable that came with the Epic. For the car, I am using this one, which is essential if you are going to be using GPS and driving at the same time.

Well Google turned up a few but I just figured it'd be easier to ask you to assure anyone contemplating buying one that it'll work with their Epic.

Edit: Thanked ya

No problem, Dallin. The only reason I knew about the one I linked you to, is because it came with one of my HTC phones a while back. Actually I have 2 of them.
