Can it get power through the USB, like if I connect it to a portable battery charger while traveling in the car?

Of course. Just like any other device that work with USB. For example your cellular or iPad need some 5V--1A or 5V--2.1A.

Does the battery charge internally through the USB connection? "USB AC adapter charging solution" sounds like marketing speak for a USB power supply.

As long as it's micro USB, you won't have a prob. Maybe a lil iffy in the car. Make sure you have a car charger putting out more than 2.0 amp

Yes, it will power the connected USB device while it is on charging. However, please don't forget to press the power button to start it.

It would charge in the car but the car would probably have to be running to keep the current going. It doesn't work without being "plugged in." The first camping trip I took it on the timer/delay broke. Cheaply made. I cut the timer completely off. I have rigged it up to attach directly to a small battery and slept very warm. So it does work pretty good now.

Good question, dont remember if it actually does. I pretty much use it via USB power.

Hi Sadoul. I don't think it can be powered from the USB connector. I think the USB is only intended for inserting a memory stick with picture on it. If you need it to plug into a 12V power source like your car (which I do), I bought the 12V Asus laptop charger accessory (the kind with many different connector options) and it works fine in my car's cigarette lighter. Fair warning, the projector consumes alot of power this way, to watch the voltage left in your car battery.

Only if you plug the usb into a usb port first. It is a usb powered device.

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.

i dont think so, just because its usb powered. you could maybe use a usb to ac outlet adapter to power it (same as the one you would use to charge some phones using a wall outlet), as long as the volts and amps match up well enough.

No, it's a wall charger. The only way you could use it in your car would be if you had an AC/DC adapter.

I don't know. I'm assuming so since it plugs into a USB port. I don't have an USB port in my vehicle to experiment.

Absolutely. The Mini-USB port is only there for charging the device and is not usable for any other purpose. I have used this device with a USB powered external hard drive (you normal everyday external hard drive) several times. It worked without being plugged into my portable power charger (10000 Mil Amp) but worked much better when charging from it.

It does work that way. Use the usb cable that comes with it and any usb adaptor and it will work. I prefer to use battery power rather than be tied to an electrical outlet.

Nope, But i think it can be conect in the cars output, but you need an adapter

The usb port is output power only. It will charge cell phones, mp3 players and other devices that use a usb to charge. So the answer to your question is no.

Anything that supplies USB power will work. Comes with a full size USB to Mini USB cable as well as the car lighter power adapter to Mini USB.
