Hi guys. Can anyone please tell me if this uses a mini usb to charge it? Also, to turn it on, do you flip it open? thanks

It does charge with a mini usb. I use the same charger for it as I do for my cell phone. Flipping the boom open is what turns it on. Flipping it shut turns it off.

Yes it uses the mini usb and yes it flips to turn on. It really helps hold the battery life.

Hell, no it doesn't use a mini charger, and yes you turn it on by flipping.

Hi - yes it does. It uses the micro USN charger. It comes with one but you can use any. And yes, to turn it on - flip it open and to turn it off - flip it close. It powers down when open and closing.

You should be able to power it, can you power the camcorder while Its charging? Does your mini USB charge? Every device I've tried operates while charging. You can't charge the pack and use it at the same time. Current canT go do either or. Not both

There is s mini usb port on the side of the charger. Plug into that to charge the unit. It took me some searching on the internet to figure this out also. I think I've answered this question here before also.

U charge it like your phone. U connect it to a USB cable and wall adapter and wait for it to charge. Takes long to charge if its complely dead

I've tried charging mine with normal microUSB because I thought I'd gotten a bad AC adapter and the normal microUSB's won't register as charging and didn't seem to raise the power at all. Luckily for me, it turned out the AC adapter just has an odd proprietary plug that needed to be pushed slightly harder to click into place the first time, so I'm able to charge, but yeah, it was a bit of a disappointment to realize that it can't charge off of the same USB stuff all my other electronics use.

Mindy - Robert answered it. Easy to charge. The mini-USB port uses either a cable to the USB connection of your computer or your regular smart phone charger. I too like the battery. It's very convenient. I love the attached red cable to power your Android phone. That's the feature that made me buy it. I do wish the battery had more capacity - it's really good for only one almost-full charge of my phone. But I'm very happy for it - and it's slim & convenient.

It looks to be an internal battery. You will receive a cord that plugs into the unit and into a 110 outlet to charge the unit. I can't see a way to open it up and replace the internal battery.

I have it and have yet to get it to work. There are no instructions and the charger only works randomly. Thankfully I only spent $10 on it. Good luck!

I'd like to know if the reverse is true; can I use my iPod adapter (also 110-&gt;5v) to charge my Flip? Anyone? Anyone?

There's a female micro USB port on the top. You just plug any Micro USB charger cable into that and it will start charging. 4 blue LEDs indicate the charging status and all 4 will be lit when it is fully charged.

OK, Lisa, the unit I purchased has worked perfectly and I haven't had any issues. I set it up for charging and it charges fine . I can't honestly say I have any complaints. Not to seem unimaginative but if beleive the unit is defective then I'd contact Amazon customer service. There are also written instructions with the unit. I hope this has been helpful.

Hi Jack,I bought this for my wife for Christmas. It is charged through USB only, which is a problem for her because she wanted to use it from her iPad. It works OK, but if the battery gets low she can't recharge it without USB.

Make sure you're using the input USB. Should charge automatically. You only have to turn the power on to use the device for charging purposes.

There was an plug near one of side arms. It is micro-usb, but I suggest you to use provided cable, unless you have very good cable (cheap cables cause slow charging rate!)

You have to manually turn the switch on. Otherwise it will just be charging and not on
