Will the battery charge if connected to a laptop (or other power source) via USB, or is it wall charger only?

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.

No, it is meant to work only on a battery. It works well but unfortunately, it cannot use a wall outlet.

It works fine. I have no problem charging mine via a wall outlet..it's the only way I've charged it. Hope this helps!

The charger plugs into the wall. There is a USB slot that you could plug your own USB cord into and it will charge the battery in your phone from the USB cord at the same time as the extra battery charges from the wall charger.

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

Mine only came with a cord to charge through my computer. I bought a wall charger through Amazon that works great as well.

In the box there was no wall charger. Just the USB connector that let charge the device. I never tried to connect it to a wall charger.

No. It only charges through USB. However, USB wall chargers are available separately.

Mine came with a wall charger but I don't see why it wouldn't work with a regular USB wall charger.

To power it through the wall you have to buy the USB plug, that's how I power it, I haven't even hooked it up to my laptop yet.

Yes! Charge from USB via laptop or like I do via wall charger. This is a GREAT product!!!

Grannie: Yes, you can purchase an external battery charger that plugs into the wall socket and shows you when the battery is fully charged... As Drew mentioned, it works best if you have two batteries. Hope this helps.

It only comes with a USB charger, so if you don't buy or already have a USB wall charger, you will have to use your computer to charge it.

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!

It comes with a cable that is USB-to-weird-tiny-cylindrical-end (haven't seen this connection before and didn't have a need to learn the name until you posed this question). In any event, you can connect the USB end to anything to charge (e.g., wall block, laptop, etc.), like you would anything else.
