Does USB1.1 Charge?

[Mac Rules]

Hi guys n girls

Could somebody tell me the right thing here? I'm currently in a dispute about whether USB1.1 can charge a device.

My reason that it can't is because on my mates PC, the USB2.0 charged things fine, but the USB1.1 ports he had couldn't...

Could somebody please explain the difference and maybe a link to some evidence.

Thanks for your help guys

Cheers

If the 1.1 ports are on the computer itself they should be at full power. Still, if they have many devices daisy chained on the port the amperage per device drops. You might want a powered hub if you want to charge a lot of devices.

Some USB1.1 ports will charge, yes...

iPods that connect to USB ports, require a high-power USB port. Keyboards and some USB hubs will not charge iPod.

USB 1.1 will charge an iPod shuffle not an iPod nano. The big reason is that USB 2.0 has more wattage than 1.1.

These must be some aggressive iPods .

But seriously, my mini charges fine over USB 1.1 (ports in a G4 tower), but synchronizes s l o w l y.
