Is there a battery charger that can be purchased for these batteries, or do you just recharge it by plugging it into the usb on computer? thanks!

I posed your question to Ambient Weather's Customer Care and this is what they said: "The easiest way to recharge the battery is through the USB power port. We have an excellent guide here: http://site.ambientweatherstore.com/Manuals/wr111qs.pdf ." They also said, "You can use your computer to fully charge it. It does charge through the radio."I've been charging mine through the radio and it works fine. Good luck!

Iuse the USB charger to charge the battery that is in the radio. I have not charged my spare battery, becuase once you start charging and discharging them, they begin to wear out. I will use the 1st battery until it won't hold a charge any longer, and then install the 2nd battery.

Yes, it really is quite rare. I hope you have a blessed day, too. I don't know where you live, but I live in Newburgh, NY (60 miles north of NYC) and they are predicting severe thunderstorms tomorrow. The utility company has already warned of potential power outages. So...I think I'll get my Ambient radio out and be sure it's fully charged!

You can buy a battery charger. Look on line. They are out there. I have one. My experience is that it's best to get a battery charger. I also bought a few more batteries.

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!

There is a way to charge the battery. There is a USB cable that connects to a computer only, that is used for charging that comes with the camera. We wanted additional batteries, and to be able to charge the batteries through A/C plug, and a car charger adapter. We purchased a kit from Amazon, sold by Big Mike's Electronics that included all these items.

Hi Gregory! I just asked the question of the best "proven" way to charge these batts and I'm convinced by the majority of answers is to use the USB end and keep the mAh's the same 1 thru 5, of course. It will take longer, but successful all around, as many have said and I tend to agree. Some have used, me included, a 3.7V wall charger, but I don't feel any longer. I hope that this helps and puts your mind at ease as it does mine!&#128522;

I never got them....they were unable to ship them from China....I do have another brand and you charge them by taking the smaller usb into the small usb port and the regular usb side into a larger sorce usb, like a laptop or car charger. Good Luck.

A USB cord is supplied. You plug it into your computer or a USB adapter (not included) to charge . I bought a second battery and a generic charger off of eBay. So I have a spare charged battery that I switch when needed.

Yes. It came with a charger, but when the batter was empty, it would not charge. It was only about 6 months old, so after a lot of time spent, I just bought a new battery and it seems to work all right now......................I just read the other two comments and found that I didn't know the difference between a usb charger cable and a battery charger. So, now I learned something too.

The external battery charger did not work with my battery, I ended up returning for a full refund. I have opted to just buy a new computer. Sorry I could not offer any assistance.

The battery charger plugs into computer not the battery...???? maybe something is wrong with the charger...take the charger to a computer place and have them check if its putting out ,the charger might not be charging. If you have a voltmeter you can check the charger yourself or maybe the battery they sent you might be bad.

It uses a rechargeable battery, it comes with its USB cable, not the charger, but you can use any USB charger including your computer

It comes with a DC IN (MICRO.USB ) cable to charge the battery. You can also charge it on your computer. I have used it only for a couple of hours every time and then charged it, so I wouldn't know. But it's a great little device worth the money.

Never heard of a USB battery. Mine didn't work when I first hooked it up to my computer. Found out it came with a bad cable. With another cable I had laying around it works extremely well. You have to have it hooked up to your USB port on your computer to power it and also to receive WI FI.

I have used my Canon charger to charge my batteries and they have worked flawlessly. Since they didn't come with their own charger, I guess it was kind of assumed we would use the OEM charger or purchase one separately. Hope this helps.

The other commenters are correct. This camera uses AA batteries. No charger built into the camera. I'm not up on all the latest gadgets, but I don't know if any camera that charges from a computer.

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.

I did not purchase a charger. All I did was follow the instructions and put the battery in the computer and charge according to those instructions.

I received mine with a battery only. There was neither a battery charger nor owner's manual. I am still waiting for these from Amazon. I guess it was a mistake during packaging.
