Portable Battery Charger: Has anybody tried using a battery charger for their Asus Transformer?

I am looking for the answer myself. Bought external battery pack Itrent with 11000 ma power that recharges any tablet on the road, but asus transformer does not work with it. Asus does not offer any solution also. Any clues from asus transformer owners?

Hello there - I am doing my own search for external power for an ASUS slider, which has the same issue of requiring 15V input. I am looking into multi-output battery pack / laptop battery packs. They are more expensive and larger than the others I have (Newtrent, powerGen), and do NOT have the 15V USB out so would need some type of conversion cable. Will let you know what I end up with and if it works. I am contacting a few of the laptop brands to see if they will work with ASUS tablet. Good Luck!RJ

As long as the Asus Transformer has a micro HDMI output then it should work fine.

I read that the wall charger has some authentication in it to detect when the Transformer is connected. If the device is a Transformer, it bumps the voltage up to 15V? otherwise it stays at 5V 2A max. So, the battery pack would need to be able to something similar if that is true.I'd like an external battery that I could use in the event my pad+dock were both low on power. Anyone found a battery that works?Info from http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-accessories/6267-asus-transformer-charger-safe-other-devices.html

I gave away my Asus Transformer about a year ago, so I'm not completely sure, but I believe I did charge it with the RND and had no problems while doing it.

I would think so, yeah. The battery is where you'd run into problems. Most PowerBook chargers should be the same.

No, it is a proprietary connector. Another downside is that the charger is 15v, and a very small percentage of gadgets use this. No external battery packs or standard usb wall plugs will work with this tablet. There are workarounds with 12v batteries and multiple connectors, but it's far from ideal.

I have not tried it with a transformer, but take into consideration the battery pack's USB port charges at 2.5A. This works for my nexus 7 and ipad 2 which calls for a minimum 2.1A. If your transformer needs 2.1A then you will not be able to use the attached micro USB cable. You will have to carry your transformers cable with you.

No way unles you get a transformer that convert your 220 watts/50 cycles into 110 watts/60 cycles for your battery charger

I live in Hawaii. We traveled to Australia recently with plug adapters and this Asus power adapter with my Transformer. Provided you you use this power adapter with the correct plug adapter (US to Australian), this power adapter will recharge your Asus Transformer.

The Transformer needs somewhere around 11 volts DC (VDC) to charge at all. The ASUS charger puts out 15 VDC; all standard USBs are 5 VDC. The Transformer will not charge slowly below 11 VDC. It will not charge at all.

Sorry, I have not seen the transformers for previous models. As long as the amperageand the voltage are the same - then you only need the end which plugs into the screw driver to fit and then you are good. I am not quite sure why you would ask this question? Are you trying to use the new charger with old driver units?

While there probably are non Asus chargers that will work, I personally had problems using other brands after I'd lost my original one. Eventually broke down and just bought this one and it works fine.

I've used both a mini-usb to usb cable to any USB source and the proprietary. Any charger that give acceptable mini-usb power can work.

Not sure about the Transformer, but it works with the Nexus 7 (Asus) under the latest Android. My tablet is rooted, FYI.

Should worked. Haven't tested with a Transformer, but it charged a Nexus 7 tablet, which requires 5V 2A, which is what the Tf700-compatible Asus charger puts out:https://www.asus.com/Power_Adapters_Car_Chargers/Eee_Pad_10W18W_Adapter/#specifications.

Sorry, I just saw your question. I would NOT recommend this battery charger PERIOD. I ordered two of them and they are cheap and don't work.
