Charging the FR in the car

> Is there a Wattage?  Most chargers that don't list amperage list a wattage instead.  If you have the voltage and the wattage you can determine the amperage based on that.  Watt = Volt * Amp.  So if you know the wattage and voltage, Amp = Watt/Volt.

You may actually be able to pull an amp through it without much problem to the device, but it may get hot, or make the supply lines to the socket warm.  I'd try 500ma first and stick with that works, that should be fine.

No, it's just the voltage (see attached pic). When looking at the
picture, I noticed that it is just a sticker, but there's nothing
beyond it. Charging at 1 A was ok, nothing was damaged.
