Xperia E1 Overcharged?

ZiM — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 20:56:16 GMT

Hey, Today i've been doing some tests with a lead and acid battery at 5,2V and 4,5 A/H . I plugged my Xperia E1 in the battery using the usb charger connected to the battery, and the phone, well, the charging led became green, 5 secons later red and the phone shut down. now, the phone is "dead" and the charging led is allways red... has it any solution? is the phone dead forever?

@ZiM

You should contact your local Xperia Care and get it inspected

Don't despair, just get it inspected, it might not be dead.

Was a bit silly exceeding the voltage and amps - Far to many amps and slightly to many volts so from seeing similar things I'd say you have blown a micro fuse

the voltage was only 0,2 v more, and the amps, i said Ah, not A what means that the battery can give 4,5 Amps maximum, but that is auto-regulated by the device.

a microfuse? that seems less bad as i thought it could be...

Sorry but the phone doesn't regulate amps or volts - Thats the chargers job and a USB 2 port on a Pc only has a 5v 1amp output so the phone would have no issues charging from that so as I said in my 1st post too many amps and as your phone doesn't have quick charge then I'm not surprised by the outcome

Many years ago when I was 16 I became a qualified Mechanical and Electrical engineer so I must emphasize that the battery you were using is a DC and you tried to charge a phone which requires AC - At no point have you mentioned you used an inverter to convert the power types so although you keep saying it's not Amps it's A/H then without an inverter to regulate this then the A/H or amps output was far to high
