I just purchased a used Nokia 5160i and noticed that it uses either a 3.6V
NiMH or Li-ion battery. The charger supplied with the unit is, apparently,
not the charger that Nokia recommends, although I've used it a couple of
times. I see that there are several chargers recommended for this unit, and
wonder if the charger for my Kyocera 6035 Smartphone, which also uses a 3.6V
Li-ion battery, will work OK for the Nokia. The advantage is probably
faster charging time, and the fact that I already have a car charger for the
Smartphone. The polarities seem to be the same, and the Kyocera charger is
a "rapid travel charger" so works with a broader range of input voltages.
Output voltage for the Kyocera charger is 4.2V at 1.0A while output voltage
for the charger supplied (which is actually for a massager) is 2.8V at
320mA.
Is the Kyocera charger compatible? Can I use it with the Nokia? Can I used
the car charger as well, if it has a comparable output? What are the
limits?
Thanks in advance.

The "standard" Nokia charger ACP-7U is 3.7 volts though some units
can use the ACP-12U rapid charger that charges at 5.7 volts. I was
under the impression that Kyocera used a different input probe for the
phone than Nokia. Nokia uses a "standard" low voltage socket while
other manufacturers use different sockets/contacts.

Re: which charger?
Josheph:
The plug/connector does seem a bit "wiggly," but it works. The device
starts charging when its connected. That's not too suprising since both
batteries are 3.6V, but I'm mainly concerned about the difference between
NiMH and Li-ion. What's the amperage rating on the Rapid Charger?

Re: which charger?
Some rather odd behavior. When I plug in the Kyocera charger the charging
indicator on the Nokia scrolls, so I assumed it was charging. I let it
scroll for about six hours, but when I checked no charge had been built up
at all. Then I plugged in the jury-rigged charger that came with the used
device, and even though the charging indicator never scrolled, the battery
charged to full capacity.
So I'm wondering why I'd get a charging indicator but no charge with one
charger, and no indicated but a charge with the other? Could it be a matter
of the connector? Neither connector is really "just right" in terms of fit.
The Kyocera fits very loosely, with lots of "wiggle." The jury-rigged
charger fits so tightly it's hard to even push in.
And ideas?
