Can this be safely charged on a wall outlet USB charger? anyone tried this?

Another version of the product here: http://www.amazon.com/Duracell-Rechargeable-Instant-Power-Charger/dp/B006BAIQTK actually comes with a wall charger. So I guess you can.

Yes, I am doing that currently and it works well. I keep the device plugged into a USB wall adapter exclusively using a "Motorola USB Wall Charger with Micro USB Data Cable - Bulk Packaging (Black)" that I purchased here on Amazon.

You have to use a wall adapter that has a higher Amp output than most USB wall chargers. at least 2 amps. If it isn't putting out enough amperage, it's not going to be able to overcome the eepad's power usage in order to charge the battery.

As a general rule of thumb, any USB device that can connect to a USB power supply will charge. There isn't such a concept as "wall charger only" anymore, since electricity passes through USB devices. So, I would say yes.

I'm actually using a spare one for that function now. HOWEVER, it will only charge items at the USB limit of 500mA per port. Most true chargers are capable of 700mA to 1000mA depending on the device.

Yes, it comes with a wall charger. It can not, however, be charged via USB.

I use the wall charger from my phone. It can also be charged through the USB on a computer.

I've got them all over the house and I haven't found a USB device they won't charge yet. I can tell you they successfully charge various smartphones, wireless speakers as well as the larger iPad that requires 2 amp power bricks. On a side note, we had an electrician over for something unrelated and he loved them. He said it's the best USB wall plug he's used yet.

Yes, I think user "Bala" is correct! You jus tneed to use it with a wall-charger! I had this not very pleasant discovery made after purchase.But if connected to a wall-charger - works like a charm! And charges the pone pretty fast!

From what I have read, it looks like you charge it by connecting it to a computer via the USB cable that comes with it. If you want to charge directly from an outlet, you would need to buy a charger that plugs into the wall socket and into which you can plug a USB cable.

Yes, you can buy a wall adapter (micro USB) that will charge it via a wall outlet.

Both will work. Wall outlet may charge faster depending on the USB power amperage from your computer.

I've done it from an OLD 0.5A/500mA usb wall charger. Computer usb ports put out 5v at 0.5A/500mA, whereas most newer usb chargers put out 5-5.1v at 1A or more, so the battery may not be able to handle the higher amperage.

I have not tried that but can't see why it would not work. May take a little longer to charge because of voltage drop over distance.

I can't comment on this particular item. The wall charger I purchased was GTMAX Black Home Travel Charger. I have been using it since last Aug. with no problems. To charge my Sansa Clip 4GB.

In what capacity won't it charge, if you are using a computer it should be fine, if you are using a ac wall charger then it probably isn't the proper AMP rating to charge it.

Yep. I use a regular USB wall adapter (like the iPhone/ipad) to charge it. It works fine
