Does plugging it in charge the batteries?

No - the adapter is just an alternate power supply. When using the adapter, the auto-off is disabled (it stays on until you turn it off).

I haven't hooked mine up yet but yes, it just plugs into the charge controller.

Yes, the unit plugs in and the battery acts as the back up. Worked great for me this spring.

Yes, you plug it into the wall and charge it. It will charge my cell phone about 4 times before I have to recharge it.

Yes, it plugs into the camera. If you want an external one that you take the battery out of the camera and charge it that has to be bought separate. So with this charger your camera is out of commission while charging.

No it does not . Only Plug in at home BUT if you have a inverter you can charge it that way ! You will need a short extension cord the charger takes the female part of the extension cord to the charger male plug into inverter .Hope that helped you .

yes, but I've been disappointed as it doesn't charge while plugged in...not sure if it's a fault in mine or if this is just a lousy design flaw.

Not directly. You leave the battery in the camera and plug the camera in to charge

Only when plugged in. Battery does not recharge, but I think the charge level remains the same.

Yes. It plugs into the wall. Once charged battery lasts for about 30-60 min of continuous use.

Yes, you simply plug it into the charger when you are finished using it. I always kept mine plugged in when I wasn't using it.

Yes, the power source charges battery. This is a cheapy made unit but can be helpful. I went to radio shack and bought toggle switch to put in between the connection to battery so I could turn off as soon as possible because batt. is so small and used x-mas ext cords for hookup.

Yes, once it's mounted and attached to the batteries all you have to do is plug it in to recharge your batteries.

You can plug it in to recharge it, and I have used it while plugged in. I believe the instructions say not to do that, but it works.

No, you'll have to charge it for a few minutes and then leave it plugged in to use it.

Yes it needs to be charged but the batteries last for quite a long time between charges. It has a UK/Irl adapter plug is is 220 V.

Yes, it needs to be plugged in. I am sure there are some battery operated models, this one, however, is not one of those.
