With the EC battery in the phone, can you still charge the phone normally via usb? Or must you take the EC battery out and use a wall charger?

I charge it normally, USB through the phone. With one always on the charger to swap out when needed.

They can be charged just like you have been doing by plugging the phone to a cable. I purchased the twin battery pack with wall charger it lets me switch out batteries or have 3 spare back up batteries, the wall charger is really easy to use and is fast charging. I like never having a low battery.

It works just like the stock battery. Just hook your phone up to any charger, wall or USB, and it will charge.

You can charge phone via usb. The battery is just like the original in size and function. It charges faster and holds a charge longer than my original battery.

Yes you can charge the battery normally via USB. No need to take the battery out of the phone. Works twice as good as my stock battery for my Sensation 4G.

You can charge the battery normally via USB. Also, the little charger has a USB port on the side where you can plug the cable directly in the charger.

You could use any generic micro-USB cable (B Type) to charge this. As far as the wall charger is is concerned, you can use any 5Volts /1 Amp USB wall charger, I use the wall charger of my old android phone with that spec and it works just fine. Here's a link to how this cable looks like: AmazonBasics USB Cable - 2.0 A Male to Micro B - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

I would recommend completely sidestepping the wall charger and using the phone to charge the battery after using 4 of these in the phone. That's what I have found to work best.

I use my cell phone charger (Android not iPhone). It is a standard mini USB charger that you can get anywhere.

Jacci, you cannot charge your battery while in the phone. The battery has to be removed from the phone and placed on the charger then on wall outlet to charge. The good thing is that you have three batteries so keep them charged so that you can switch them up. Hope this helps.

Hi Ashley, just to be clear, the unit only charges batteries when plugged into the wall outlet. Also one thing that might not be apparent is the fact that while you can charge electronics using the USB charger, it does NOT charge them while you are charging anything else. If you are charging a few AA batteries and plug a cell phone into the USB plug, the unit will wait until the AA batteries are charged BEFORE it will charge the cell phone plugged into the USB port. Keep in mind, you can charge something through the USB port while batteries are discharging. However, once the batteries are done discharging, the USB charging port will shut off when the batteries start to charge. Hope this helps.

Yes a wall outlet charger comes with this phone. It is not described in the manual. However, the phone plug appears to be micro USB. No information is given on the charger about its voltage output.

It seems to charge plugged into the wall.. not the phone.... the good news is it holds an incredible amount of charge for a long time.... I use pretty regular and I haven't charged it in 3 months.

You can plug a USB-to-miniUSB cord into the base of the charger and then charge your phone without removing the battery. It does require the device to be plugged into an outlet to charge your phone. It is NOT a portable power source, though.

I charge mine both ways. If I'm out and about, I'll carry the spare battery so I can just pop it in if I need to.If I'm not in a hurry, I'll just plug my phone into the regular charger, either off the wall or in the car.

Essentially, you plug it into a wall, with the switch on the back in the "off" position. Takes about 12hrs to fully charge. Each LED indicates 20℅, so all 5 lit up indicate 100℅ charged. You can plug it into the wall with a USB connected to 2 devices and charge the battery along with 2 devices simultaneously. I usually get about 2-3 full phone charges from 0%. To charge, flip the switch on the back to "on" and plug a USB into it and the device you want to charge. It does charge at 2.1a so it charges about twice as fast as a typical USB wall charger.

This set comes with 2 batteries and a charger that plugs straight into the wall. Your "extra" battery docks into the charger. Now, with that being said, you can still charge your phone by it's original charger OR if you have a USB cable (This set DOES NOT COME WITH A USB CABLE) you can plug the "wall charger" that is charging your extra battery up via a USB cable also instead of charging it straight into an outlet. I have used my regular USB phone charger to charge my phone with one of the batteries in it; I have used a car charger to charge it; and I have also used the charging dock that came with the batteries. All methods work fine ;-)

You can't use the wall charger, you need a after market charger. I'm still new to this so I apologize if this doesn't help.

I charge it with the usb. It doesn't last long. I am going to return it. Doesn't really work good if needed while out.

There is a USB cable that comes with the portable battery to recharge through your computer or USB AC wall charger. This already has rechargeable batteries inside, you just need to connect this battery to your phone to re-charge.

Hi Deborah - recharging the charger is simple. Simply take the attachment that use to plug into your phone for charging and plug the USB cord into any USB plug that can charge (computer, wall plug or etc.).
