Re: Chicklet Amps

The 500 mA current rating on the Chicklet matches the USB spec. The actual current draw varies based on the device being connected. Of all the supported devices, the Microsoft mouse draws the most current at 100mA. You can use as large of a battery as you wish so long as the voltage does not exceed 15 volts DC. Voltages higher than 15VDC cause excessive heat and could damage the Chicklet.
