Just to let you guys know that some of these chargers (and some of the hacked chargers) don't supply enough current to properly charge the battery in the phone-I had a hacked MPx200 charger that I thought was charging the phone-turns out it wasn't really doing it, even though the phone said it had a full charge. I have one last test to perform to validate my hypothesis, but it appears to me that unless your charger puts out a nominal abount of current or the same or more current than the OEM chargers (1 A), there's a good likelihod that your battery won't charge properly. Which also means that if you use a AC-to CLA adataper whose output isn't reated rated beyond 1A you may also be SOL.

I just completed my last test and can confirm my AC-to-CLA adapter findings-if your CLA adapter's output current is under 1A, you may not get a full charge from the CLA that may be plugged in.
