Mains charger for Sony MP3 player - advice wanted

bargainpete

Hi,

I have a Sony NWZS515 MP3 charger and like many other players, it only charges via USB. I am trying to find a reasonably priced mains to USB charger that would work. I have seen reviews of some that state that they don't work for Sony devices which is strange as I can plug it into any computer to charge.

Thanks.

Maplin sell (order code N91FY) a pair of adaptors for mains and car use for £13:

Doesn't specifically say it works with Sony products, but hard to see why it wouldn't - the USB voltage is completely standardised.

This is what I use. You just plug the USB cable into the plgu & the other end into your MP3.

The one on Play has a review saying it doesn't work with the Sony NWZS515. Not sure how this can be true as I would have thought if they work from any PC USB they would work from any USB charger.
