Using the "iGo" Universal Charging System with a Motorola RAZR

If you have lost the original charger for your Motorola RAZR cell phone, there is a convenient replacement option available in the "iGo" line of universal chargers. iGo is a universal charging system that uses interchangeable tips to adapt an AC or DC adapter to many types of portable electronic devices including cellular telephones and digital cameras. What follows is a step-by-step guide to using the iGo charging system with the Motorola RAZR cellular phone.

The Motorola RAZR cell phone takes a standard mini USB charger, so the first step in fitting the iGo charging system to your Motorola RAZR is to find the iGo tip that is designed for Motorola devices that utilize a mini USB jack as its charging receptacle. The proper iGo tip for the Motorola RAZR is tip number A32. The A32 iGo tip will work for other Motorola devices as well, including the Q and other cell phone models, but in any case you will want to buy iGo tip number A32 for your Motorola RAZR.

The next step in using the iGo charging system with a Motorola RAZR is to choose a universal AC or DC adapter. Generally the AC and DC iGo adapters sell for under $30, including the A32 tip, but some retailers sell a combo pack that includes both the iGo AC and DC adapters for around $40. If you are just looking for a replacement home charger for your Motorola RAZR, then the AC adapter will be adequate. But if want to be able to charge your Motorola RAZR in the car also, then you will need to make sure you buy the iGo DC adapter instead.

To prepare the iGo charger for use with the Motorola RAZR, simply attach the A32 iGo tip to the end of the wire on the iGo AC or DC adapter. The tip will only fit on the end of the wire in one direction so it is impossible to make a mistake at this stage of preparing the iGo charger for use with the RAZR. Once the A32 tip has been attached to the iGo charger, then the mini USB plug can be inserted into your Motorola RAZR phone. Your Motorola RAZR will now be ready to charge from the wall or in the car, depending upon which iGo base unit you purchased.

The benefit of the iGo charging system over other types of chargers is the fact that a universal charger can be used with multiple devices as long as you have the proper iGo tips to fit whatever devices you wish to charge or power. This means that if you upgrade your cellular phone you do not need to buy a whole new charger but just the new iGo tip (for under $10) for the new devices. In the long run this is more cost effective than to buy a new standalone charger every time you buy a new electronic gadget.

In conclusion, to set up the iGo universal charging system with a Motorola RAZR, you will need iGo tip number A32. Simply attach iGo tip number A32 to the iGo universal charger, plug the tip into the RAZR, and your replacement charger for your Motorola RAZR is ready to charge or power your phone.
