As an electronics experimenter, I feel kind of dumb asking this question because it sounds so simple. We have an Appletv whose remote has the new Lightning connector on it. The remote came with a cord but no charger. My wife has an older iPhone whose charger originally had the 25-pin Apple connector on it's charger. The Lightning cable fits it just fine but is it safe to use? If the charger is your basic USB 5-volt source and the intelligence for knowing when to stop charging the battery is in the remote, itself, I would think it would be okay. If not, that remote might be a very expensive firecracker. I don't have any good way to test for sure which is why I am asking. Again, the charger power adaptor was sold with the iPhone so it isn't just a no-name wall wart from who knows where. Thanks.
