Yes, you can use a car charger. Unfortunately the Wireless Plus doesn't come equipped with a car charger, however they do work.

Any car charger will CHARGE this. The problem is how to connect the drive to your charger. If you do not have the original OEM cable that came with your drive, you are out of luck. Seagate chose to use a proprietary non-standard charging tip to connect the drive to a power supply. It is possible to charge the drive using a standard usb3 cable thru the drives pc interface, but it will take 9-12 hours to give a full charge vs 3 hours using the OEM connector. I have tried to find a spare Seagate OEM charge cable online, but no luck so far.

Yes, provided that you purchase a automotive class 12 volt USB charger. The USB charger that plugs into the cigarette charger. The sale them at Walmart or Walgreens and will run you any where from $5 to $20.

Yes provided you have a USB port in your car. The power cable provided is a special USB cable with a single pin at one end to insert into the power slot on the drive, and USB on e otherr end to plug into any form of USB power source.

Yes. I use it to charge/maintain a car battery everyday. It might recharge a battery but it would take a long time if it was discharged.

Yes you can. The charger base has an adaptor that pops out of the back to plug in a wall outlet. That is mainly how I charge mine. The car adaptor is nice when your away for a quick charge on the fly. Hope it helps. Works great for me.

Mine just came with an adapter for the car. You should be able to charge through the USB port.

Yes. Just rotate the 2 metal blades in the back of the device, and plug it into a wall socket. The cigarette lighter plug is for use in the car, an you plug the wire into the top of the battery holder

You can recharge the Simple Start from your car, as long as the engine is running or the car battery has enough capacity. See page 10 of the manual for full instructions. BTW, the unit must be powered on to take a charge from the AC adapter or the car.

Technically you can, but I surely would not leave the device in the car when not in use. The swings in temperature may melt the device and/or damage the battery.

It is charged via usb so I don't see why not but I wouldn't drain my car battery to charge it.

Yes. You can play and charge it with household power. It also has a DC power supply for in the car charging and usage.

Yes you can, IF the end of your charger cord is equipped with micro-mini USB male plug that also fits your phone AND your car charger can put out enough amps to charge both your phone and a battery.

Seems to me you can charge it in your car using a voltage inverter plugged into your lighter.

Car is powered by a battery that you connect with a wall charger. Not USB rechargeable.

No. There is not a car charger included for use in the car. This is a very basic player.

Sure. It's just like a laptop computer, which you can plug in to recharge while you're using it.

yes. after you have charged your device with the charger you recharge the drained charger. If you have an adapter that you use for another device you can use regular outlet to re-charge

Yes, you can. The same kind of plug you use to recharge an iPod can be used to recharge this mp3 player.
