can it be recharged by a wireless portable "power pack" external battery w/ usb ports? I kill the battery on long events and have nowhere to plug into

I just got this camera today (and asked a similar question). You can view pictures and videos you have taken while connected to a power pack, but you can not take a photo or video while the USB cable is inserted.

Any usb port (computer, audio, car, etc. providing 5 volts cc) on where you can plug the camera charging cord should work. Remember that the battery can be charged only installed in the camera. For long events I recomend to carry a charged spare battery. Hope this will help.

I only use it with external power, but I believe I recall reading that it can not be powered by USB.

I haven't tried a battery pack, but I've plugged it into my laptop (via USB) and a wall outlet (via USB / wall adapter) and it charges just fine. I'm sure a battery pack will work too.

With only the info you provided, I believe the battery in the laptop dead, very dead. An external power source cannot fix that!

Yes, but keep in mind: this is just a wireless charger which at the end does the same as the normal wired charger. Meaning it wont extent the life of your battery yet simply recharge it. On the other hand, the power-pack would work as an external battery, but it wont last the whole day. I use the full bat of my iPhone plus the power-pack, and neither that is enough for the whole day of my. If you do not use it as much as me, you might get it working just good enough.

Nope, unfortunately, you can't just plug it in and run off the cord alone. It has to sit there and charge first or else it'll only be on for a few seconds before dying again, which is a significant design flaw.

As far as I can tell, the battery has to be taken out to be recharged. There is no micro USB or other charging port.

You can power/charge it from a usb connection. I was using an old iPhone charger.

i don't know about rechargeables, but it does come with a USB cord so you can use that for power. It also has a space for batteries so you can use wirelessly. I use mine with just batteries... In fact, I believe it has some kind of powersave feature - I often forget to turn it off at the end of the day and it doesn't seem to be draining the battery.

You can charge it wirelessly or via USB. I charge wirelessly at home and at work and USB in the care

If there is, it's by no means accessible to the average consumer. The clear answer is no. You can charge this through its micro usb port and then have it ready to power an electronic off the (full-size) usb slot when needed on the go. If it dies, you get a new one. If that's a concern then get a better, more expensive one.

It is not rechargeable. Once its drained, its dead. The alarm system draws off the battery only when the wired power source goes down for whatever reason. Unfortunately ig either sat and discharged or was defective and not able to hold a charge. Batteries will go bad if they have been sitting for too long.

It does not ship with a rechargeable power source. You can use rechargeable "AA" batteries in the radio and they will recharge if given an external charger (not provided) like a USB-based cell phone charger. You will need a standard mini-USB (not micro) cable.

I charge it with the usb. It doesn't last long. I am going to return it. Doesn't really work good if needed while out.

You can leave the battery in and use the USB plug that comes out of the bottom of the device and charge it that way. You can also use a non rechargeable battery if you choose.

I suspect that you could plug one of the USB cable into an external power source. The question is, "which one"! I would suggest trying the plug on the end to your computer first, then the 2nd plug, (the one with the short lead), to the power source. However, if this does not work, then swap the 2..... One of the plugs is for power only, (no data line in that one)..... However, when all else fails, add a cheap, 2 or 4 port "active" hub to your computer, then plug a couple of your other USB devices to the HUB.... This can cost less than $20.00 This wireless adapter works so well, adding a small hub still makes this adapter the ONLY way to go wireless!

Oh, power options are rechargeable batteries or 3 AA batteries. I have not tried charging from the pc usb port yet.
