Can you recharge the battery with USB while it's in the camera?

Yes, just plug the usb into the back of the camera and it charges automatically.

Yes you can, but I have found it only works they a computer USB port or the contour specific car adaptor. Generic plug in USB adaptor s do not seem to work. I have tried several.

Yes - that's the normal way to recharge it. There's no equipment provided for charging outside the camera.

Yes - It is rechargable while inside the camera. The USB cable has an adapter that you simply plug into a 110 vac wall socket. Very simple. Overall still very pleased with camera after several months of use.

Yes, take the batteries out and plug in the USB cable. Turn the camera on. The computer will power the camera :-)

You can plug in any micro-usb charger to this camera, and it will charge the battery.

Yes. You leave the battery in the camera to charge it. You can either plug it into your computer or wall outlet. I've found that it holds a decent charge, and doesn't take more than about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to recharge. My initial charge may have been closer to 3 hours.

NO. The battery can remain in the camera at all times. (Cord #1)AC plug to adapter with USB... then (cord #2) USB to mini USB on camera. If you just plug the USB into a PC (cord #2), the battery will charge. I recommend charging with the AC unit initially.

Yep just charged it off my laptop USB port this morning. Take a standard micro USB plug. Great camera. Just love it.

Yes, I have been able to. It functions just like the battery included with the camera and so far, the charge seems to last as long.

The USB will also charge a battery in the camera. An external charger not required.

Yes, you can charge it with the USB cable that comes with the camera. However, you need to be careful not to damage the waterproof seal on the access door. You need to have the waterproof access door open to connect the cable any damage to the seal will cause the camera to fail under water. The battery seems to have a longer life than my other camera with double AA battery's. It also seems to charge faster with the charger(included) than with USB.

You can recharge the battery at any time. It doesn't have to completely run out. I do it when i expect to take pictures for a while.
