Will this radio recharge cell phone via usb?

I have a Samsung Note 2 and have just taken it off the usb port now fully charged to answer this question. ..which is, yes it will.

Good question. I believe the USB port on the front of the radio is for reading music files from a USB memory stick. To double check, I did plug-in a USB cable and tried to charge my phone, with radio both on and off. There was no charging indicated on my smart phone. So I think it's just a passive USB port for inputting music files. Maybe someone else has additional information?

You can charge off the usb. Just read the directions because the radio needs to be in a specific mode.

This is a great little radio and it is easy to use, but unfortunately the manual is a bit sketchy in places. I will quote what the manual says. "The USB jack can only provide power for the USB memory stick only with 1A 5V maximum and most of iPhone models. Howerver it does not supoort external Hard disk drives and all of mobile phones and electronic device." It also says that you have to have it in one of two specific modes. It looks like the answer is. Yes for most iPhone models and maybe for some other phones.

I bought mine to recharge my phone from usb power sources. You may have to look up your owner manual to find out about transferring data.

I have an iPhone 4S and the radio works fine with it. Yes, it charges the phone.

This antenna can be powered by AC or USB, so I would say yes, your USB port can power this antenna.

Hey Cynthia,I haven't tried to charge my phone with this item. When I received it, I looked for a USB port on it to charge my phone with. It didn't have it, so I didn't bother trying to use it to charge my phone. I have used it as a flashlight and a radio with much satisfaction!

Yes, it works with any USB powered device. I've run a headlight and my iPhone off of this power pack simultaneously for two hours straight (I have a long bike commute) then ran the phone continuously for 8 hours the next day, and still had 50% power left! It was raining both days.

It does not ship with a rechargeable power source. You can use rechargeable "AA" batteries in the radio and they will recharge if given an external charger (not provided) like a USB-based cell phone charger. You will need a standard mini-USB (not micro) cable.

Yes, connect the USB connector to the phone charging port and the sound jack to the aux connection of the radio. Depending on the radio though, you may need to select AUX as your source in order for you to hear any sound.

Probably, but at least $10 and you must charge it through the radio. The product does not come with any plug-in wall receptacle accessories for battery recharging or radio playing. The battery I got was apparently dead and/or cannot be charged through the radio.

Yes. Because you charge it using the included USB cable. You can plug it to any computer's USB port or to a mobile phone charger. The radio does not include a charger.

Yes, this radio uses standard USB output for chanrging, you can charge any device that uses USB cable to charge including IP4. You may have to use charging cable that came with IP4

Yes. But you need to remember that this is for usb. You can connect a usb music or a cable for charger your cellphone or listening to the music

Yes. I stream audio through the phone to the radio via bluetooth and charge it at the same time. See other answer. The radio must be in certain play modes to charge. Pretty handy.

No, it plugs into a 12v outlet and it connects to your device through Bluetooth and to the radio by radio frequency.

No, it will run the radio. It does have a usb outlet in the compartment in the side that will charge a cell phone when plugged in. Also if you have not heard this radio, it has poor sound quality for the money. The sound output range is slim, no high end and no low end. My old $25 18v ryobi had better output. As far as the battery life, I use the 3.0 amp hour 20v batteries, running 9 hours a day I get about 3 days out of them. I'm thinking that the batteries are being drained overnight when the unit is off and the battery is still in the radio. I'm currently taking them out at night to see if they last longer. Hoped this helped. If I had the space I would have paid the extra and bought the full size radio. Let me know if you have any other questions.

No, it will not, it requires a 3.5mm in device you are using to amplify sound, most MP3 player have this, most cell phones do not, normally this type of plug will be only for audio signal, cradle shown is just a cradle, no charger. USB cord is for power to the amp speaker, nothing else.

The radio has the ability to be charged by USB. Being that said, charging in a Vehicle or RV would be accomplished with either using a factory USB port, or a cigarette lighter adapter to USB. Such as one might purchase to charge a cell phone, could also be used to charge your Ambient Weather radio.
