My Flip is an early model (maybe even the earliest) It's several years old and uses batteries. I was able to get a rechargeable battery pack for it recently from Amazon. Good luck.

Virginia, i'm not certain i fully comprehend your question, however, your device will charge via the charger (male) end into any USB port. hope that helps!? good luck!!apparently, "CWB" has helped you out satisfactorily ;-))

Every time you plug the flip into your PC port to view the video or create photos, the battery automatically recharges itself.

To reset the battery. Please follow these directions I found out that this has a re-set button to re-set the battery. Step 1 Take a pin and insert it into the reset hole found in the tripod mount for the flip slide of the video camera Step 2 Press and hold it down for 5 Min Step 3 Remove the pin and hold down the power button for an additional 5 sec Note: The battery is now fully discharged. You won't be able to see any activity on the flip while charging after it has been plug into your USB Port for 30 Min it will see the lights flashing on the bottom of the camera. Keep plug in for 3 hours. This is a battery reset and it did work. I went on the Flip website and looked up Flip SideHD FAQ's and it told me step by step on how to reset the battery

I charge it by flipping out the USB plug and plugging it into the side of my laptop, or into your usb port in your computer. Hope this helps:)

The instructions are not clear.Go to this link on YouTube and follow the instructions exactly as shown, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpg10yp4duoIt is important to begin charging the battery with the battery caps not sealed completely. Good luck

Hi Ken, the best advice i can give you to remedy your problem, is to just buy it, and if itdoesn't work for your applications, simply return it...i purchased it for different reasons, i was in needfor an adapter like this for my hd flip, and work well for that...cheers!!johnny..

Mine did the same thing. It is charging, but the software doesn't recognize it. I installed an app called "coconut battery" to tell me when it was fully charged.

I doubt if the unit will charge the lithium batteries however if you have a charger the batteries will work in the unit. There is no switch to flip for chargeable batteries. In my experience there usually is a switch if you intend to use chargeable batteries. Hope this helps

It's supposed to charge on battery alone as far as I know Dino. You should contact Soundfreaq about this situation. I hope they can resolve it for you. Unfortunately I have not yet used it to charge my android devices so I am not familiar with this feature.

i think you should start with trying another charger. since its a micro-usb port it shouldnt be too much of a problem finding one. you should also try different sockets... the electrical output may differ a little bit. if the problem still persists, i assume its the battery. try discharging it and (however) charge it again up to 100%. your next option would be buying another battery... good luck!

I really don't have a solution. I noticed that the charging circuit is very weak. On one of the microphones took 24+ hours before it indicated a full charge.

I'd like to know if the reverse is true; can I use my iPod adapter (also 110-&gt;5v) to charge my Flip? Anyone? Anyone?

First try reattach in the lcd cable but if that doesn't work then when you buy a new lcd test it by plugging it in before install an and make the battery has a chargeSteven

I'm joining this comment party quite late, but I had the same problem. The battery completely drained between uses and I could not get it to charge via USB due to the auto shut-off design flaw programmed into the device. I bought an off-brand wall charger and spare battery, charged the Kodak battery that way and, Voila! It works again and now I have an additional charger and a spare battery.

I have had my camera for about three years, with no problems. My Flip is a Flip Slide camcorder. If you have the receipt for the camera and it is still in warranty, contact the store, and get a refund. Something is seriously wrong with the battery or charger. If you still have your desktop software installed for the Flip, plug it in and see what happens. Make sure all charging lights are on. Hopefully there is not a break in your cord or USB somewhere. Flip turned their business over to Cisco. Since then Cisco bailed out. Givit.com is handling their uploads now.But seriously that is too long for the camera to charge.

You might need to replace it. Mine charged no problem. and I haven't had to recharge it in over a month. Yours may have a faulty battery.

Make sure that your charger is a standard 5V charger. The charger that came with my Sennheiser MM 500-X Wireless Bluetooth headphones is a 5V, 500mA charger which works great on these spare batteries. You should be able to use other 5V chargers up to at least 1.8A or even the 2.1A chargers as well but i haven't tested the 2.1A ones myself. If you look on the plug of your current charger and verify that that the voltage and amperage is adequate then I would try with a different charger and cable to rule that out, otherwise your battery may be having issues. Good luck!

You charge it by plugging into your computer. There is no battery to change. Mine lasts a LONG time before needing to charge and it doesn't seem to take very long to get fully charged. So if yours doesn't work after charging a few hours then it is defective.
