Can this be charged with a microUSB phone charger (wall charger) or does it have to be plugged in through a usb?

Wait it does? So unlike the PS3 controller (which will ONLY charge from a charging dock or the console itself or a laptop left on 24/7), when my controller's running low I can plug it into my http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-SurgePlus-3-Outlet-Charger-Protector/dp/B00ATZJ5YS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1401067989&sr=8-3&keywords=belkin+wall+charger WHILE I play with the supplied charge cable (that came with the console)? :D EDIT: June 10th 2014: Well after getting the console, I can confirm that the controller WILL charge from a wall charger, however it HAS to be a 1 amp plug. That belkin one I listed above it 2.1 amp and it will NOT work on that or the other 3 2.1 amp wall chargers I have, and it will NOT work on the like 4 .5 amp chargers I have either. It will however work on my new phone and new portable Bluetooth speaker's wall chargers, which are both 1 Amp. I guess something in the controller won't kick in to charge unless it's receiving exactly 1 Amp. Of course needing to charge one from a wall socket near you while playing becomes a moot point once you get a charging stand and a 2nd controller to swap to.

yeap it does and keeps the controller from going dead so quickly and the new update to dim the light does no good either if you ask me I still get the same amount of playtime

It comes with a usb charger. You can purchase a wall charger that has a usb plug. I use the one that came with my cell phone.

You can plug a USB-to-miniUSB cord into the base of the charger and then charge your phone without removing the battery. It does require the device to be plugged into an outlet to charge your phone. It is NOT a portable power source, though.

It does charge with a mini usb. I use the same charger for it as I do for my cell phone. Flipping the boom open is what turns it on. Flipping it shut turns it off.

You can use the wall charger with a compatible USB cable (micro type). The supplied cable is not compatible.

No. It only charges through USB. However, USB wall chargers are available separately.

The wall charger is included. If it's used and doesn't come with the charger, any micro USB charger will work. Takes the same charger as almost all smart phones.

Yes. The cord is micro USB to std usb, and the wall charger is 1.7A so most USB wall chargers won't work.

it's mini usb with a wall charger. It is proprietary - you must use the wall charger that is supplied or it will not charge. It does not charge while plugged into the usb port of the computer either.

Hi, Yes the device came with a micro usb charger but not a wall charger. I have a tablet that charges via a micro usb cable so in my case i use that to charge the iWallet. It also came with 3 other tips to charge devices but i had to use my factory lightning cable. Overall good portable battery i use it all the time for my iPhone 5s.

Yes. It comes with a USB compatible charger, and you can add your own adapter to make it work with your wall plug. The recommend only using the designated USB cable they provide, saying that other cables (such as the one you use for your phone) may smoke and cause a fire hazard. I haven't tried any other cable but theirs. It works well and the charge lasts for a good long time.

Yes, it comes with a wall charger. It can not, however, be charged via USB.

Yes, Any Micro USB cable will charge this unit. Holds it's charge for an extremely long time also, even when not in use.

It comes with a mini USB connector on a plug in wall charger. I hope that helps.

The unit does not come with a wall charger, but you can charge it using the USB cable plugged into any computer or use a charger such as mini USB cell phone or MP3 player charger.

To clear up the bunch of stupid 1/2 answers: It has a micro USB jack on it but the charger itself is only for plugging into the wall. The other end of the charging cable is of course the micro USB connector that fits into the micro USB jack on the device. Any micro USB charger you already have will work to charge it.
