Plug it in and charge it. The charge just disappears with no use. After it charges for a time the front screen will come up and tell you the charging %. It will take a day to fully recharge.

The plug is folded into the back of the charger. Take a look and swing it out and plug it in.

If you have a 12volt charger you can charge it in a car.. or you could bring extra batteries with you.

it has a AC plug right on the front. It also has lighted LED that shows you how much chatge you have. You can also charge it thru a 12 volt like in your car. But it takes a very long time. So just plug it into any three prong outlet in your house or garage

It is powered with a USB cable and plug that they provide. You can leave it plugged in all the time or let it run off the internal battery and just plug it in to recharge the battery. Some functionality is sacrificed if run off battery power to conserve power. I'm going to see if I can cut off one end of the usb cable and permanently wire it into the vehicle.

The car charger has to be plugged into the cigarette lighter slot of your car. Once it is plugged in and you have connected the phone to that cord your phone should start charging while the engine is running. Of course you know that the car charger is only going to charge the phone and not the car, right? Juar kidding you.

I go ahead and charge it. I think you have to charge it now and then even if you don't use it.

You have to ensure the internal battery is charged or ensure that you have a good connection to the vehicle power source. If you have the USB connector you can charge it that way, although I never have been able to operate solely on the battery for any length of time.

Using your own plug and the cord provided with the battery, plug it into your electrical socket. Charges rather quickly.

You don't plug it in. But honestly this thing is a waste of money. It only works for like 3 hours.

You can leave the battery in and use the USB plug that comes out of the bottom of the device and charge it that way. You can also use a non rechargeable battery if you choose.

No, it will not charge the dead battery. This device gets its power from car battery so it could charge your other electronic devices like cellphones, tablets, etc. If your car battery is dead you need to jumpstart it or get battery charger.
