Is the charging cable an industry standard, or proprietary?

USB charging cable Industry Standard. Charger by Olympus, however you can replace it with others.

I don't know the answer to that. But the nature of a USB is ithat it is a standard which is identical to all other USB cables.

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.

The charger is USB one end and a proprietary 30-pin on the other. "Proprietary" meaning it is a barnes and noble specific piece of hardware. I've read that you Can charge the Nook off of a generic 30-pin cable, but it takes longer. I've also heard that generic 30-pins do not work at all.

That would be as simple as splicing into the cable for any charger. As far as out of the box goes though, no it doesn't. That does sound handy though and I'm getting a free charger with an order here shortly and might just do that.

I think so. My charger plugs direct into the wall, and the battery clips into the charger, therefore I'm not using the cable. Sorry not to be more definitive.

I am unsure I think it's a standard plug. It has worked very well so far. I have had no problems with the charger or tooth brush.

I do not believe so - Apple is using the proprietary charger for all of their devices.

Not sure of the terminolgy But the charge port is standard and are readily available for approx $5.00. I have a regular wall plug , a car charger and a USB

Hi, I am pretty sure that this is available as an assoc from the company, Go into Amazon and look up the Sendy, contact the seller. Also I would search Amazon for a USB Charging cable, They are normally universal in pins. Hope this helps.Brenda

It's a standard barrel connector. Same as used to charge the unit. You get a pigtail with it to supply the charged voltage as well. But I've bought two of them and both units have failed in a short time. The second one I never got to use and the unit failed to charge. The load of my application is within the specified requirements.

If you're talking about the actual cable, it can be replaced with any standard usb charger, such as an Android phone charger

Yes, it's proprietary. It plugs into a usb port. It's really just the cable though. Nothing to plug into an electrical outlet. You'd have to buy one of those

Mr Pearlman, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0#Connectors that connector on the back you're pointing at is a USB 3.0 Micro B connector. While it's new tech and not backward compatible with USB 2.0, it is a standard compliant USB cable produced by many manufacturers. It's not correct to call it proprietary.

Yes it can charge both types. As far as extending the cable, I don't know, but it would probably void your warranty.

I don't know and I don't think it's an issue. I use it for both phone at 1A and tablet at 2A, works fine. The outside shell is thick and robust, but I doubt the wires inside are any different than any other charging cable.

yes, most OEM's today use standard electronic for recharging from portable batteries, car, computer as long as the port has a power source. The cable provided will connect to any standard USB 2 or 3 port in your car using a standard convertible cigaret lighter port or any of the previous mentioned power sources. I had to fashion a sock for the neck so it didn't stick other than that a good buy.
