I don't want to charge off a PC, can I charge the Anker off the AC wall charger & cable that came with the iPhone or do I need an extra cable?

Yes, you can use the charger and cable you already have for your phone. It's usually really slow when you charge using a computer vs the wall outlet.

You cannot charge this with the thunderbolt cable that came with your iphone. You need a mirco usb cable to charge this battery pack. But it comes with it, so you should be fine. You can plug that usb cable into the power brick that came with your Iphone instead of your laptop, if you like

Well to charge the Anker it comes w/ a wire to charge w computer but you can plug the USB side to you iphone plug. And to charge your iphone use your iphone wire

Charger - no. Cable - yes. I use my OEM Apple charger with the included cable.

No, you don't need it. It works with the power suministrated by the usb cable taken from the PC, Laptop, iPad or iPhone.

If you have something that has a usb charger, you could use the other port to charge that device (depending upon what that device is). I plugged in a little rechargeable travel charger into it, and it started charging, but my iPhone didn't charge. It also doesn't connect your device to the computer. So it doesn't appear all that useful, but I think it depends on what you're plugging into it. Any kind of drive I don't think is going to connect, but some chargers would work.

Ann - I have two of these. You can charge the device two ways. First, you can attach the USB cord that it comes with to a computer's USB port to charge. Or, you can attach the USB cord to an AC adapter like those that come with iPhones and plug it into a wall outlet to charge. I use mine as a hand warmer and as a way to charge my iPhone and iPad. Hope that helps.

company recommends not doing that; can charge the Anker with the computer just like the phone so if you're out with your laptop and it's plugged in, charge your phone on one USB and the battery on another (just an idea)

Well mine came with one to charge off your pc, but I bought that particular charger your asking about separate. It works great.

You can plug it into one of your USB ports on your computer. Or it's even faster to take the end attachment from your iPhone charger wire, plug the Lenmar USB plug into it. Then plug that charger attachment into your 110v wall plug. Works great...

To clarify for my experience:1.) I did not get any wall charger. 2.) And you cannot use your iphone cable when the iphone and case are together. There is only one port - a microusb port. 3.) As far as I can tell, the charger charges first before the iphone gets to recharge itself. Which is rather annoying.

No you have to charge it from your computer. It's has a USB hookup that you could plug into your computer or just use an iPhone charger to plug into the wall.

My family already had the USB wall charger pictured here: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Universal-Travel-Home-Charger/dp/B004WMJFSU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1353853853&sr;=8-2&keywords;=iphone+usb+wall+charger. They're relatively inexpensive and work well.

It has a USB/ mini cable and I plug it into the wall charger that came with my iPhone. Works great!

Hi Pauline. It comes with several attachments and can be charged in a regular outlet. Once charged, I used it several times to charge my iphone without recharging the Anker. The attachments are there to use with an iphone or a computer. It really did work great!

Anything with a Lightning or MicroUSB connector needs no additional cable. (Recent iPhone, iPad, Android) You can also charge any device which has a USB charge cable. (Older iPad or iPhone with cable, etc.)

It comes with the Iphone connector and has a special "A" slot to charge Apple devices, I think you won´t have any problems charging it.

the ac charging cord, if you have the original cord can be disconnected from the charger and used as a USB cable
