With no AC adaptor, it's still unclear to me how the battery pack itself is charged. Please explain?

It comes with a USB cable that you can connect to either you iPhone, iPad, charger or just hook it up to your computer.

The unit is charged via micro USB from an external source. (PC, AC Wall charger, etc...)I hope this helps to answer your question.

It will take any mini USB charger. It comes with a cable too that you can plug to an any USB charger (iphone/galaxy.. etc) or use your computer USB port.

All that really matters to the Poweradd battery pack is that the output of the USB port is a little over 5 Volts and a current adequate to charge it (~800 mA or more). The device never sees 110 volts AC only ~5 volts DC.

You charge it by plugging into your computer. There is no battery to change. Mine lasts a LONG time before needing to charge and it doesn't seem to take very long to get fully charged. So if yours doesn't work after charging a few hours then it is defective.

Sounds like the battery pack is no good! Did you try contacting the seller? Or try using another cable to charge it and see if that works.

It comes with standard 110 volt plug to charge the battery pack, with an adapter I would think it should work

This is just a power cord, or source of electricity. This will charge many of the different battery packs, which you have to purchase separately.

No AC adapter in package. There is an adapter for the AC so you actually charge it with a USB port.

Did you ever find out about this AC adapter? Does it come with that little Phoney battery insert or did they dispose of that to make you plug it into the USB connector on the side? It looks to me thats what they did to save money, but I'd rarther have it go into the batt compartment.

if you play it plugged in, you will use ac power. it will charge the battery at the same time or keep it topped off. i play it plugged in at work and when i take it home its fully charged.

use an power adapter that has 5v-1000ma to charge your battery pack, plug it into the micro usb port(most of the cell phone charger are capable)

It uses the USB cable. There is no ac adapter or normal plug for wall outlets. It will charge while you are putting files on it. Sometimes it needs to be plugged into the computer longer if the battery has been drained.

Recharges by USB. Which, ironically, is the same way it charges other things...Basically, if you have the ability to recharge it, you probably do not need it right then.

There was no voltage adapter in the package . I've had mine for a few months and haven 't had to charge it yet , if that helps.

You either use the ac adapter OR batteries. The a/c adapter won't charge up rechargeable batteries. Would have to recharge batteries through a different device.

I only use the AC adapter, but I know the battery is an alternate power source so it would make sense to me that the battery would serve as a backup in the event of a power outage if you also use the AC adapter.

The charge we have plugs into the wall. I don't know anything about a battery pack.
