Wrong Charger!

I think I may know the answer to this already, but I'd like to seek the counsel of the TECH-SAVVY members of EQ to verify.

I am without a wall charger for my Q currently, as I left mine somewhere at the office over the weekend. I've kept running back and forth to the car charger when needed to keep the device charged. My 'Q'uestion is: What is the real skinny on the potential damage to the Q by using a charger made for another phone with a similar connection 'tip' (specifically a cingular Razor V3M ? ) (I'm verizon,if that matters).

I phoned verizons tech department, and the rep assured me that the Q would indicate that the charger was not compatible .

Could someone out there educate me on this?

Thanks, as always

I have tried BlackBerry chargers...they don't work but don't seem to cause any damage.

The charger that came with my Motorola BT headset does work.

A third part charger with a mini-usb tip does work.

My wife's Motorola SLVR charger does work.

The RAZR charger is fine. I use an old one as a spare for my Q.

I bought a generic charger and it said V3 on it. It chargers still. You could always charge via USB. I have tons of those mini USB cable. My Canon, Sony and Nikon digital camera, usb hub and a few other things came with them.

My understanding is that the other Motorola Chargers will work because they charge as the same Amp rate.

The blackberry charges at a lower rate and therefor does not work. I wish it did since I have 4 of those chargers from my previous blackberrys.

I just got this charger at my local grocery store (Food City) for 1.00. It says it works on V3,V3c,RAZOR,SLVR,BlackBerry 6200/6500/710/7200/7500/8700c series. Stock number/sku is 60030 says Force Wireless.
Will this tear up the battery?
