Does anyone know if its possible to charge these from a car charger for long road trips?

Easier still (and you'll have it for other things) get a DC to 110 volt AC converter, plug it into your car power outlet (we used to call them cigarette lighters) and plug in the charger that came with the tablet (then there won't be any question as to whether another "car charger" will work - or cause damage).

Try the Freelander car charger. Specs are Output: DC 5V, 2000mA Charging plug: 2.0mm. USB port will not charge this tablet.

try idolpad plus car charger listed on Amazon. It seems to be similar product and spec as Idolian Idolpad plus. The charger specs the same.

It is possible, you just need to have the right cable for it. It's not a specific one but you can try the USB cable and a car charger with the USB connection.

Yes. Put them in a dumb charger for a few minutes and they will begin to take a charge. You can then put them back into your smart charger and they will charge.This works for most but not all batteries that fail.

Yes, these work while charging, but the indicator light will not show send/receive indications, only the charging state. Would be nice if they had separate LEDs for the two functions.

Recharge these anytime. In fact, best to NOT let these run down entirely, as these (unlike Ni-Cad) have no 'memory.'Mainly don't overcharge. These take about a 2 hour charge, and overcharging in an attempt to bring them up to full capacity cause battery 'stress.' You can get the full, more scientific answers to your questions if you Google. Also, remove from charger after charging.

No. You need to purchase those separate. This has the capability to charge them through the car cigarette lighter or the wall outlet.

You can use ANY mini USB charger(cellphone, car car charger, etc...). I charge mine while driving down the road with an old mini-USB charger I had from a blackberry before they went to micro USB. If the one you have isn't working then it's broken. Go to Walmart or any any store and get a Mini-USB car charger. Works perfectly!

Yes, they can be charged with the OEM charger. In fact, I don't have any other charger - so yeah, OEM works :)

I think the answer is yes but they've probably been sitting in a warehouse and have lost some charge. They always need to charge when I initially install them (right after receiving them)

The charging directions say "connect the larger USB plug to a powered USB port, such as that on a computer." Being a tech dinosaur, I don't know if the one in a car is powered. Maybe visit their website www.ihomeaudio.com and pose the question.

I cant see why not. I personally havnt done that myself. All USB chargers send out a 5volt charge. So given its a car charger or laptop...still the same.

I have not tried such thing. But I have charged 2 devices at the same time: my Cellphone and a portable speakers, and it worked perfectly.

I honestly wouldn't. It would take a lot of the battery from the car. And/or not get enough to run the system properly which I'll cause shortages soon after or start to run hot because it's pushing itself harder. To go on the safe route go to a truck stop and get a car port that is a wall adapter. I would think you would be ok for the simple fact that it's a portable gaming device but at the same time. If I was meant for a car it would of came with a car charger. Good luck

You cannot when charging from a computer (that's all I use, so I assumed....). But from external power source it looks to be a yes. (sorry folks)

You can charge through the USB or wall charger. The wall charger shows the output as DC 5v - 2A, with a small plug. You might be able to find a direct car charger but using a USB car plug should do fine.

by charge, you mean if these have a USB charger. if it is, these don't have a usb charger
