actually it's a combination of efforts between the charger and the device itself. that's why it's best to generally stick with OEM chargers.

modern chargers include the IC chip that switches the power supply into a standby mode, preventing the battery from being over charged. the "2-way" communication between the battery and teh charger, let the charger know when to make the switch.

this is quite common these days and both the N1 and DROID use this technology.

Is it the same general idea when charging from USB?

I would've never guessed the generic-looking charger they supply had any interesting technology at all. It doesn't even look branded, I don't think.

I'm wondering the same thing, esp since I tend to use usb chargers at home, at work, and especially in the car.

USB from a PC typically sends about 500mAh to your device. so maybe the device is able to accomodate the slower charge, vs. the 800+ mAh from a wall charger (i think N1 was 980).

What about USB from a wall outlet or cigarette lighter?

usb from a wall outlet is the same thing as using the charger designated for the phone.
