Years ago if you lost or damaged your Nokia charger, I’m sure you wouldn’t have been too bothered, a Nokia charger was almost a household item and no matter where you were, chances are someone would have had one that you’d be able to use. Recently though, Nokia have been changing the connections on their phones and introducing new style chargers with different sized charging pins.
To help you work out which is the best charger for you, we’ve been through the entire range of Nokia chargers and listed the differences between them below.
Original Nokia Chargers
The first mainstream Nokia charger used a fairly large 3.5mm connection, and came with early Nokia handsets such as the 6230i, 5110, 7110 etc. Nokia make two versions of this charger, the ACP-12X and the AC-7X.
Nokia ACP-12X Mains Charger – This charger is the standard one that would have been in the box with your phone. They were quite heavy and bulky.
Nokia AC-7X Mains Charger – This charger was included with Nokia handsets around the same time as they introduced the small pin charger. In terms of functionality it’s the same as the ACP-12X, but is a much lighter charger which makes it ideal for people who travel.
Nokia 2mm Small Pin Chargers
A few years ago, Nokia decided to change the charging port to a smaller 2mm ‘Small Pin’ Charger. You can also use a CA-44 Charging adapter to convert your older 3.5mm Nokia charger into the newer small pin charger.
Despite most Nokia handsets taking the same charger, Nokia still decided to produce 4 different versions of the 2mm charger – the AC-3X, AC-4X, AC-5X and AC-8X. As everyone has become more energy concious over the past year or so, Nokia have started to give their some of their chargers energy ratings so that you can see how efficient your charger is.
Nokia AC-3X Mains Charger – The AC-3X Charger is even smaller the AC-7X and is a multi-voltage charger – this means you can use it to charge your Nokia accessories as well as your phone.
Nokia AC-4X Mains Charger – The AC-4X Charger is an ultra lightweight charger. Nokia have given this charger a 2 star energy rating.
Nokia AC-5X Mains Charger – The AC-5X Charger is the smallest Nokia charger available. It’s an ultra lightweight charger that will stop charging your phone when the battery is full. Works with accessories and phones. Nokia have given this charger a 2 star energy rating.
Nokia AC-8X Mains Charger – The AC-8X Charger is an energy efficient charger that uses 94% less power than most other chargers. It is also multi-vlotage, so it will work with Bluetooth Headsets and other Nokia accessories. Nokia have given this charger a 5 star energy rating.
Nokia Micro USB Chargers
Earlier this year, several of the leading handset manufacturers announced that they were going to make Micro USB chargers standard across all mobile phones by 2012. While we may still be a way off, Nokia have now started to include this charging connection on some of their newer handsets. You can also use a CA-146C Charging adapter to convert your older 3.5mm Nokia charger or 2mm Nokia Charger into the newer small pin charger.
Nokia AC-6X Mains Charger – The AC-6X Charger is a lightweight, portable charger that will work with most Micro USB devices. Nokia have given this charger a 4 star energy rating.
Nokia AC-10X Mains Charger – The AC-10X Charger is an energy efficient charger that uses 94% less power than most other chargers. Nokia have given this charger a 5 star energy rating.
