Charge via external USB adapters: Hi everyone, did anyone test whether a proper external USB charger (for a car, solar pannel, external battery pack) is able to charge the A510?

It doesn't work on regular phone charger. The AC-DC adapter specs is output: 12v 1.5a (18w). Regular USB phone and iPad charger is rated at 5V output 1amp ~ 2.1AMP (10w) which is not enough to charge the tablet. Most people made the mistake by not checking the required specs before using their own USB charger.

I can't find an answer to the question about using the USB cable to recharge the device. However, the specs for the cable say that it will not supply "external power". Nevertheless, when I use the cable with a cigarette lighter adapter which has two USB jacks, my Garmin 60CSx indicates that it is connected to a power source. Hmmm.

I have a external one that is specifically for my phone's battery. But it's cheap and broke after 3 days. I'm considering getting an external wall charger from Anker.

You can find adapters that will take C/D sizes that snaps into a AA/AAA slot of the Wizard One and similar chargers (the one I found was for Tenergy of something but it fit well enough); that way you can use all the modes of the Wizard One...esp checking the capacity...not to mention ability to use up to 2000mA (2 amps) charging rate.... otherwise you are usually limited to blind charging...you do loose contact with the temperature sensor, however normally not an issue.

There are several options to charging a USB device other than a computer. Many stores carry car adapters that plug into your car's power point and converts it to 5V USB. There are also home devices that do the same.

I haven't had any issues with the USB port. I don't believe it came with an external charger but I bought one with extra batteries thru eBay. However while traveling for 2 weeks and taking a lot of pictures, I barely had to charge the battery.

your original charger works. the ac adapter connects to your computer, not the battery pack, unless you have some kind of external charge dock for the battery that i've not heard of..

I'm actually using a spare one for that function now. HOWEVER, it will only charge items at the USB limit of 500mA per port. Most true chargers are capable of 700mA to 1000mA depending on the device.

If the solar panel puts out the right voltage and amperage (e.g. what a standard USB charger would do), I can't see why it couldn't charge the Astro E5 15000mAh. Just keep in mind that this is a pretty big battery so even on my 2amp Samsung Galaxy Tab USB charger it takes about 8 hrs to charge.

Super charger, but no direct car adapter. As someone else responded, an inverter would be needed.

I haven't tried a battery pack, but I've plugged it into my laptop (via USB) and a wall outlet (via USB / wall adapter) and it charges just fine. I'm sure a battery pack will work too.

Umm, I don't know. Mine has a place in the container for an AAA battery and it recharges by draining that battery. It takes over night at first but after that it's less. On the side of the container is a plugin port for the A/C charger but I've never tried it so I don't know. It gives the voltage (3) and amperage (100ma) so any charger with that exact output will work even used from goodwill. Beware if the ma or milliamps is not shown as if it's higher it could burn up your unit. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yes, I have seen AA battery adapters . I have been thinking about getting one too , around 14.00 dollars and take 6 AA batterys. I have also recharged mine with a inverter on my solar panel.

I'm not sure I understand your question but it seems to me you're asking 1) Can this unit charge your laptop battery via a USB port on the laptop? I don't think any laptop allows you to charge its battery via a USB port.2)If you are asking whether or not you will able to charge the batteries of other devices by routing power through the laptop's USB port into the WASABI charger's USB port then I don't think so because the USB port on the charger is listed as an output port.

I don't think a laptop can be charged via USB. But if there is such a laptop, please check its manual for the power input needed to charge it. If it is greater than 2.1A SuperCharger will not be able to charge it.

Nope !! I've tried that ! Lol. It only charges the battery and the USB whole plug in . If you want that capability you might as well buy a portable charger. I've boughten 2x 12$ from Amazon already. Great stuff.
