Does anyone know where I can get an AC charger for this unit? Radio Shack doesn't have one.

It uses micro usb cable ,older androids uses them, so any cell phone store.

You can use any phone/tablet charger that has a USB port instead of a wire built in (which is probably all chargers that come with phones these days, including the iPhone/ipad). Then attach the mini-USB synch cable that is included with the camera. Honestly, I wouldn't suggest trying to run it off of battery. It has a battery life of fewer than 30minutes. It's really designed to be run off your car's lighter outlet. Some cars only supply power to the outlet when the car is on so you can use that to automatically power the camera (and engage recording) on and off when the car is on/off.

I'm not sure there is an AC charger for this unit,in any case, if there is It wouldn't be worth having because this unit only holds a charge for about 10 minutes.you could verify this very easly.after unplugging it from the cigaret lighter it will show full charge,just watch how long it lasts.

The plug is just a mini-USB, like on many cameras. So just take the unit in and get a USB cord with one end that will fit the camera and the other end that will fit one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Charger-Adapter-iPhone-Galaxy/dp/B00KIBAOKW/ref=sr_1_10?s=wireless&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1411590323&sr;=1-10&keywords;=usb+charger

Any USB charger for smartphones will do. Or just charge it off your computer. It is powered via a mini USB port.

A standard mini USB charger should be fine. I have used one without a problem.

No, before I bought this item I read the reviews and that was one of the problems. I still have located one. Maybe Radio Shack may have one but did not research them yet. Good Luck!

For those that purchased an ac adapter...where on the unit does it connect? I can't seem to find a plug connector anywhere. Also, what model adapter did you purchase? This unit would be perfect IF I can power it thru an outlet. Thank you very much! - Brian

You should be able to find a "brick" at Best Buy or Amazon. They sell generic chargers with several adaptors. they run around 10 to 20 dollars. http://www.amazon.com/K55a-hi5014l-X53sv-rh52-X54c-bbk22-X54c-bbk24-X55a-bcl092a/dp/B0099WYFI8/ref=pd_sim_e_9. Best buy costs more!

Radio Shack--for about $30. They claim that it will work. Enercell 12V/1500mA AC Adapter. I need one also. Now! The cost is half the cost of my speakers and I am bedridden. I need it morning after tomorrow. Pissed.

Try ebay. I returned this charger for the same reason. They will not warranty it if you change the plug. Best to just buy the right charger.

Radio shack, amazon, or even Wal-Mart. It is a standard ac/dc plug and cord.

Contact Abco directly through their Amazon page. Either that or a Radio Shack has universal chargers and the staff can help you find the right charger. Hope this helps.

I would think most any USB charger should do, it is a standard micro-USB port. I don't recall if it came with an AC adapter or not, but any USB charger should work fine.

radio shack ... not a fan of their usual low budget products ... but it works great!

The USB won't charge it; I think it says that in the manual. Or I read it on a customer review. You may have a faulty charger. You can probably pick up a charger at Radio Shack. If it's the unit itself, I guess you'll have to call the 800 number or go to the website and contact Customer Service. They'll tell you what to do. I hate that for you. Good luck.

If you did not get one with phone( mine came with a charger) - any store like Walmart, Target and Radioshack sell universal chargers.

I bought a wall charger that you plug a USB into for less than $5. I think it was at Walmart or Target, but I know electronics and office supply stores carry them.

It doesnt come with one but you could buy one at radio shack or such since its just an ac adapter.

You are probably best to go to your local Radio Shack with the DTV. Their staff should be able to configure the appropriate charger for under $25 .

Amazon has the charging unit. Any stir on charging unit will work. Just google it!

I had the same problem. I found, the "hard to find" charger on ebay. The price was $80, give or take $10.
