Has anyone tried charging this from a USB adapted plug to AC outlet? What did you use? Thank you.

Not to sure what you mean by USB 'adapted' plug, but I regularly use android phone charger and it works without any problems.

Yes, I've used a 1A and also a 2A USB charger plugged to an AC outlet. I think you can use pretty much any USB chargers, and not just charging by the computer. The speed of charge will be determined by the current passed through the device.

Yes, I used my kindle hd a/c adapter as well as my nokia cellphone a/c adapter, both worked just fine. I've even charged with the same USB cables in my 12 volt charger in my vehicle. Of course with an usb adapter for the 12 volt.

What method have you been using to charge it? Usb to pc or usb to power adapter? Also, have you tried using a different cable? I would try holding the power button down a bit longer than usual just to see if it eventually comes on. Hoping it fires back up for ya!

I you have, say, a tablet or phone charger where you can unplug the USB cable and have the AC wall adapter seperate, you can use it to charge this device. Just take the wall adapter and plug a microUSB cable into the device and it will charge (you can use the microUSB cable that comes with e devce or use one that you use for your phone or tablet etc.)

I only charged it by USB and Solar. I don't remember having an AC adapter for it.

The way it comes out of the box you halve to charge with the USB. You can buy a charging adapter from Amazon. I had a suitable charger that has the same wattage, so I didn't buy one. Either way of charging works great.

Using the cord with a standard outlet is the best way to charge it. Make sure you have it turned on while you're charging it as well.

This uses standard 110 volt outlet, but it's actually a USB cord so you may be able to plug it in a USB outlet to charge it.

I use 110V to charge mine with no problem. Sounds like yours may have a problem with the charging device.

I'm in disagreement with the other two, i think with the right cord it could be charged from a lighter or posibly a usb adaptor and cord. I wouldn't reccomend going direct because the output on the supplied charger is basically a trickle charger, 1000ma, and the lighter higher but with a little inginuity, it could be done. with the other ways you go from 12v to 120ac back to 12v.

I can't help you with this one. I charge mine directly in my power strip with a spare USB enabled plug I had.

My hub came with the AC adapter that I need to just plug into a standard AC outlet. If your came without the adapter I would contact the vendor addressing the problem.

I use a usb charge stick. The kind you would use to charge your cell phone or tablet when away from a wall outlet.

I bought a converter for less than 4 bucks to fix same problem. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321593667135 From what I've read, not all USB ports supply enough power. The USB Port Jack Wall Charger AC to DC Power Adapter Converter got me going. Good luck with yours!

I've used both a mini-usb to usb cable to any USB source and the proprietary. Any charger that give acceptable mini-usb power can work.

I've charged the battery from an electrical outlet with a USB adaptor and that works. I haven't tried charging it from the USB port of another device.

I am having trouble running it off AC power. The plug isn't designed well and it fell out of my power strip, so the battery ran out of charge totally. Now it's plugged in, but it doesn't want to work yet because the battery is not charged. So, it runs off the battery only, but you can try to keep the battery recharging as you use it by keeping it plugged in.

I use a usb cable and connect it to my computer to charge it, or I use my android charger, that works too.. hope this helps...
