Does this recharge the battery as well or just connect the calculator to the computer?

No, the cable does not charge the batteries. If you want rechargability, then you will have to use rechargeable batteries and a separate battery charger. In addition, any USB cable that has the proper ends will work, it doesn't have to be one specifically manufactured for use with a TI calculator.

It only connects the calculator to the computer. The calculator is powered independently by 4 AAA batteries.

It simply connects the calculator to the computer, it does not recharge the batteries.

Hi Beth - It seems to work fine for me. I haven't noticed any difference in the recharging capability between this battery and the one that came with the computer.

This calculator uses a type CR2032 lithium battery. It comes already installed. I believe that this is a fairly common battery, so replacing shouldn't be an issue. Also remember that it has a solar cell. Mine seems to run fine from the lamp on my desk. I also have a solar powered keyboard on my PC and a solar powered watch (Citizen Eco-drive) and they have been running forever. I haven't had the calculator long enough to know how long the battery will last, but I'm not worried.

I have this calculator. It is solar powered. So as long as you are not using it in the complete dark, it just works from the light in the room. I have been using it for a while and it just comes on and works. No battery is required.

The battery is charged when you connect to your computer with USB or it has a 110 adapter so you can plug your camera in. It doesn't have a separate battery charger.

No. Battery is recharged by a USB cord that plugs into a wall plug or can be charged through your computer. Seems to charge up much faster by wall outlet. Uses the same USB cord for charging that is used to upload photos to computer. Hope this helps.

there is a separate thing that plugs into the wall for recharging. You can connect it to a computer to recharge.

Ofcourse, it's just a battery that is plugged into the bottom. However, it recharges fairly fast, so you don't really need to.

Calculator is solar powered only. It is not possible to replace the solar cell. Even if that were possible it would probably exceed the original price of the calculator. The good news is; the solar cell is quite effective and the calculator works well even in dim lighting conditions. I tried it at night under some outdoor lights & it worked fine. Calculator will eventually pay for itself by not having to buy regular batteries. Hope this answers your question.

Yes it does. It comes with the power cord that automatically charges and recharges the battery. The battery indicator is located under the paper holder cover and will always alert you to when it's low or fully charged. The USB cable is also included to connect directly to your computer. It's a great product, but treat it gently because it's structure has components that are easily breakable.

No, just a USB cable to connect to computer where it will recharge as long as the computer is turned on. For the price, it is hard to beat.

No; with the battery charged you are completely portable. You must connect to the computer to 'download' the scanned codes from the device. You will also plug it in to charge it. But other than that you are portable.

The battery is charged by the USB cable. So it charges, scans and sends the scans to your computer. But the battery should be charged when you first receive the scanner.

No, just plug it in and you're good to go. The new battery lasts longer and doesn't need to be recharged as often.

It has an internal battery and you recharge via USB either plugged into computer or a wall plug. You can also use it while plugged in.
