Can I charge the pl-880 battery from my Gateway laptop with the usb cable supplied?

I'm not sure your laptop will provide enough current. The Tecsun charger uses 1000 mah current. If you have an iPhone charger it will work as I use mine because it has 1000 mah current. I have also ordered a separate charge from All Battery.

Yes you can use the usb that came with the radio just make sure that your usb port has enough voltage and current to recharge it properly also check your laptop's usb voltage rating specs, although by general rule they all abide by the usb consortium I found this info and hope it helps you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB

No, the USB cable is use for data purposes only and is not directly connected to the battery so it can't charge it.

Any standard USB charger should work. The safest choice of course is to use notebook or PC USB port for charging while you use the computer for some work.

I purchased this battery, however my computer is a Gateway model AS07B41 11.1V and the new battery is also a 11.1V.I have had the new battery since Dec 2012 and it is working fine.

The charging cable attaches to any USB source. So, yes, you can charge via your computer.

I would suggest that you use the same type of charger that originally came with the Gateway laptop or try to find one that is of the same specifications as the original. Some adapter/charger combinations will not have that snug fit that is need at the adapter port on your laptop. I have had this problem and found that once I purchased one that was more similar in shape and specifications to the original one I owned I did not have that loose fitting problem where the adapter would actually slip out of the port with the slightest movement.

I do not believe you could. The USB they claim is for plugging into a computer for charging the battery, not for transferring data. That is the way I understand it, anyway.

Insert the remaining end of the USB Power wire into an AC adapter connected to the wall socket or a charging computer USB port. i use my laptop to charge this device.

Yes, you can charge the battery with the USB cable that goes to computer and it also comes with an external wall charger. Also a second battery was included so you will always have a spare!

Just plug it in to the wall with the cable supplied, and that will charge the battery in the computer. Good luck!

I charge mine on the wall socket with a plug-in that accepts USB. Even though it doesn't recognize on your computer, you should see a lightening bolt where the battery is to indicate whether it is charging.

Yes, just use the standard usb cable to connect to a laptop or to an external battery.

yes you can. Even though your laptop doesn't charge it should still be able to work with the power cord plugged in. If that's no good, then you need to remove the hard drive from the underside of the laptop, then plug the hard drive into a "universal storage adapter" (available on Amazon), then plug the other end to another working computer (USB slot), and pull out the data.

I was able to charge my HP laptop without any issues. I am skeptical of the ~30K mAH capacity, however.

I can charge it on the computer or I can take out the battery and charge it in the battery charger plugged into the wall socket. If you get an extra battery you can have a spare ready to go if you need it.

Ramiro, I'm not sure but check the specs on your Gateway to determineif it requires low voltage memory...

I don't think a laptop can be charged via USB. But if there is such a laptop, please check its manual for the power input needed to charge it. If it is greater than 2.1A SuperCharger will not be able to charge it.
