charging my nokia mobile phone ( nokia 3410 )

I have a nokia 3410

how many volts and amps?

A person I know tried 5.7V 800mA
And i've tried 3.7V 355mA which works too.

And isnt' there a darn list with every phone and how many V and A. ?

note: I know, more amps on a charger isn't going to cause any problem
'cos the phone only uses what it needs. And I know that too many volts
is supposed to be a problem.. It seems a range of volts may be ok.
Maybe 5.7V is a problem. And 3.7V is low and slow charging or 355mA is
low. I don't know.

Is this for a project ? If not you can buy the chargers off ebay for around
£3 inc p&p.

It's so I know which is optimal. Charging it quickly not slowly. Not
damaging it with too many volts.

Would volts make a difference to charging speed.

etc

Not really, it's pretty much set to optimal by nokia themselves. Raising the
voltage would probably just fry the phone or degrade it's life. I'd say an
external battery charger would be better & safer to use than the phone with
increased voltage.

not true. My 3.7V charger charged it, as did my 5.7V charger.

As I said I don't want to damage it with too many volts.

I just want to be able to use a regular ACDC adaptor or a universal
one. And I might be charging it from my car with a car charger.
Perhaps a USB car charger

So I'd like to know how many volts and amps.

If I charge from USB it'll be 5V, how many amps would it consume. My
USB car charger may be charging a few things (and it says 1A, though
the USB spec is about 500mA or something).

sorry..When I posted I missed that you had written that it might
degrade the life of it
