There is a mini usb port on one side of the battery pack that says "IN". This comes with a usb cable that can be used in any wall charger.

Plug the mini USP port to the PowerBank, plug the other end of regular USB to the USB wall charger or computer USB port. The light on the PowerBank (a tiny hole) next to the usb port should light up red, after charging for hours, it should be ready for use.

Don't really know the elegant or proper way but you can always disconnect all the power to the device and that should reset it.

You can plug it in to recharge it, and I have used it while plugged in. I believe the instructions say not to do that, but it works.

You don't. It's a recharging unit. When it no longer charges you throw it away and get a new one. My last one lasted two years.

May need to reboot it or flip the side buttons alot and then plug it in again and recharge it ..just guessing.

Connect the small end of the power bank cable to the powerbank then put a connector on the other end then plug it in

That's an interesting question. As reported in my original report on this product, the unit I received was non-operational. If I were travelling, thanks to your question, I would think about using electronic devices with external power packs to recharge batteries. (th)

It should recharge automatically, otherwise, there may be another electrical problem (possibly a transformer).

Let the battery discharge itself by unplugging the 110V Power Source from the computer and let the computer drain the battery until it shuts down. (Busy yourself while this is happening) After this, Plug in the power source again and allow the battery to recharge itself. (with or without the computer operating) If the battery does not reach 100%/98% in a reasonable time, contact HP for a new battery

You must use good batteries. I've been using Energizer. Also, it may not give you a fuller battery if the batteries are not new, but you should be able to use your device while it's plugged into the backup.

You CAN power it up via the USB Port OR the external Power Adapter. Using the external Power Adapter allows the plugged in( tested or augmenting) hard drive to operate more efficiently, It's another step but worth the small effort. Product support recommend connecting it that way... so that's what I did. If you do likewise you should connect the Power Adapter BEFORE connecting the USB Cable.

Recharge it before it goes dead. It has an led light indicator where you can check the battery charge.

I think you can purchase a power converter but if you are looking to rewire the device, you should consult an electrician, which I am not...

yes it is rechargeable via usb to your laptop.It will power up even if the battery runs out of its reserves. It should be powering up each time the Alpen is connected to a power source via USB port

I have mine plugged into a PSU. This is likely the only way to receive power.
