How does the dongle hold or recharge power ? For example a tablet is low so you plug it into a wall?

I see few have answered your question. Mini PC does not have a battery so you need a power source to operate it. Connecting it to TV should work, otherwise connect it to powered USB hub, regular phone charger won't work. If you are not connected to TV power source, it is a minor annoyance that only way to shut it down is disconnect power

It does not have a battery. It is powered by a micro USB to standard USB cable (included) that is plugged into your TV (if equipped with a standard USB) or to a power adapter that you must purchase separately.

That is the rub with tablets: they all seem to use a proprietary power plug, and adapter. The one with the Acer Iconia is actually a micro usb, but they have it attached to the cord in a proprietary way and the power adapter is unique to the Iconia. So, if you need a second one, order it from Acer or elsewhere online. I actually broke the one that came with the unit by forgetting it was plugged in, picking it up and walking away with it plugged in. Which broke the plugin part. I ordered a second one, which showed up before the tablet's battery was depleted.

Most USB 2.0 hubs will recharge devices, except tablets. USB 3.0 has even more capability (900 ma vs 500 ma), but still not enough for tablets. Also, be careful not to exceed the combined capacity of the power adapter. Multiple low current devices should be okay, but limit the number of phones and devices that are more power power hungry to two at a time.

Good Question. It powers up fine and you can do anything EXCEPT for getting it to connect to Wifi. I returned it and got a nice Klu by Curtis 7" tablet at HH Gregg for $49. I suggest you do the same!

Its just a usb plug like what you would use on the wall, youll just plug your phone into it regardless of phone so no worries.

I have it plugged directly into the wall now, the power has gone out a few times and no data has been lost. I am thinking about getting a surge protector with a battery backup just in case.

The AC adapter has a barrel plug output. Insert the plug into the smaller round hole (not the larger one for earphone) to recharge the tablet. Make sure you push the plug all the way in until you hear a 'click'.

Not a clue... I bought it for an infuse which had a hardware malfunction. Didn't know that until after I bought the dongle.

This device is charged by using a wallplug. It has an assortment of plug adapters so that it can be charged when traveling overseas.

I did not keep the tech sheet, but I daily charge my cell as well as my ipoh with it. I also have a keyboard and mouse attached and plug my USB earphones and thumb drives there. No power issues to date.

Great question! The speakers get their electrical power via your device's USB port! No wall socket adapter needed.

i charge my DROID 4 and my Android 3.0 tablet with it, and yes it works well. it charges slower than a wall unit, but that's to be expected, as it runs at a lower amperage. it will actually charge itself under my construction lamp i have in my basement. just don't leave it on ur dashboard.

It works as an extra USB port. Since I never take it out I put the dongle for my wireless keyboard and mouse into it to free up one of the external ports for other uses. Works like a charm.

You charge unit in outlet, then use the stick to charge your phone or tablet. You will have to periodically charge the stick in a wall plug. However it's not a 3 prong outlet, it's a USB cord.

No problem dude! Its powerd by the USB port! You dont have to plug it on the wall
