Default Re: is it safe to use the player while it is charging???

A very informative read, thanks. It gave me a lot of useful info I was needing to know about these types of batteries. It also raises a couple of questions:

People have reported the cheap chargers that come with their mp4 players have melted their batteries. If the Li-Ion batteries have built in limiters, why would this happen?

For USB charging, does the 500mah limit mean you can't full charge Li-Ons with a capacity greater than 500mah via the USB? Are you for any reason better charging your player via the electrical outlet than the computer's USB?
