Can I just plug it into the car outlet? It doesn't seem to be giving a charge.

mine did not work long. It worked for a few days when I plugged it into car charger but then broke down.

Yes it worked that way for me. I just plugged it in and it began to charge.

Just plug it right into the wall outlet and let it charge on its own. It is so much faster and easier to do it this way.

Yes you can but the cord is rather short, so i would rather let it charge then use it.

You can plug it into an outlet. A USB cable is included but no proper charger, I use any cell phone or tablet charger at hand. You could possibly charge it by plugging it to a computer USB but it'll take forever to fully charge. Cranking it would also take a long time to fully charge, it's meant to be used as a last resort. Been using it for nearly a year with no complains btw

You cannot plug the unit into the wall and "run it" using an outlet. It comes with cables to recharge the batteries in the unit in your home or car, but you can't play it while it is recharging. The car cable is only a couple feet long; the cable to recharge in the house is a little over three feet long. It's important to remember, however, that you have to disconnect these cables before you use the unit -- you cannot charge and play at the same time.

yea it can be charged but it will take longer to charge becaus of the low wattage associated with car chargers

Yes! I just went out to double check. First I plugged it in the wall. Then I plugged it into the cigarette lighter. The red light came on the element plugged in the wall, when I plugged into the cigarette lighter. You may have to wiggle it a bit in the cigarette lighter for the red light to come on. That's not the case for my car here, but I have another one where it's necessary to wiggle it a bit for the light to come on. Unless the light comes on, it's not charging. That would be my take on this.

This just comes with the car adapter. You might be able to purchase another cord, but probably not worth it. I would look for other ones that are dual power.

If you have an AC outlet in your vehicle you should be able to do it. I would recommend having the vehicle running, so as not to drain your battery. It only operates on AC.

You can plug it into a wall outlet. It has an AC Power adapter. It can also work with batteries (separate compartment). Next question I will have to charge $500 per hour, good luck :)

It can only be charged with usb cable from your car or pc. You can buy 220 volt adapter with usb port to charge this or from your pc with the provided usb cable. Hope this helps.

You must be plugging it into a USB outlet. You need to use a "charge-only" (no-data) USB cord. See section "The Charger / Cord" in my review.

Either. Charge it by plugging into a wall outlet, with a USB adapter or charge by plugging into your computer.

I charge it by plugging it into an outlet but, I'm sure you can charge it by computer too. Hope that helps

You can just use it as a regular QI charger, that's what I do in my car. It has the added benefit of staying on (with the battery) when I turn the car off. Hope this helps!

I do not know why it will not charge. I own 3 and they all charge. It may be deffective. Is it showing low charge? Is the outlet you are using a good one. Did you try the car charger?

No it can not! The only way to charge the charge is to plug it in to a power outlet
