Do you need a separate cable for each item charging to be plugged into an electrical output?

Yes. You need to run a cable for each slot. We provide the micro USB cable and its designed to work with your Apple lightning or 30-pin cable (not included).

Yes a cable for each section of the dock and that cable needs to plug into a charger (1 each or 1 charger with 2 USB ports).

Yes, unfortunately. It would be great if there was one cord that fed both devices, but I think they want to allow flexibility between android and apple devices (one of each)? Any way I just LOVE this dual docking cradle. It's stylish, heavy and there is a sticky pad that you use to prevent the cradle from lifting when you undock. They've thought of almost everything!! Belkin makes a transformer that has two USB ports, and an electrical outlet that plugs into a single wall outlet. It's great too!!

Yes, you do. So two micro usb, two lightning, or one of each, all need to be plugged into separate USB ports/chargers

No. You need to get a splitter cable, to go from female micro USB to twin male micro USB. That way you can charge the dock, AND the device with the device's adaptor

No, but there's a place to plug in a separate charger. Just buy an extra cord.

It comes with a female connector that looks like you could plug in a charger or small power supply. I cut it off so I could wire it directly.

There is a cable attached -- but not an extra charging cable if that is what you are asking.

one more point. The central station needed just a simple swap with the same exact plug configuration. However the simple chargers don't have a plug at all, hence I needed to cut the wires and solder the new ones (5V wires) into the prior ones. Not a big deal but extra required step per each independent charger.

Yes the included cable lets you charge directly without the need of the USB adaptor. The USB adaptor only needs to be used with other cables such as the lightning cable or 30 pin from Apple products

Yes. So you still have to plug something into the device so this is silly. But if you own a power mat and really want to use it then this is what you need. Hopefully more devices come with inductive charging built-in in the future. More expensive ones will or they will at least have an adapter available that actually becomes part of the device.

Yes, it needs DC to charge, the same everywhere, as long as you have the right cable, micro USB.
780191
No. The device itself has to be plugged into a wall outlet. But it is great if you need to charge more than two devices.
1616879
Yes. You need a micro-USB charging cable in order to charge your device with this charger.

You need something in there for example I have a rechargeable battery pack I use. The cable doesn't charge the battery pack I have a separate charger, but it never loses connection or anything the wire is a solid buy

You can use any USB cable in the USB OUTPUT port i- such as the USB cable that comes with the device you wish to charge. Does this help?

I just used another wall charger to charge it that had a micro usb output. It did not come with one.

The instructions said to charge by electrical source (included usb cable) first.

Unfortunately, no. I would recommend adding a multi-outlet adapter if you need more.

There are prongs that plug into the outlet on the back side of the charger. It worked great. Well worth it.
