Should I buy something to help it charge better as well?

It charges very well by itself, granted you've already got the USB charger cable. Then all you need to do is plug it in

I honestly threw mine out and bought a different fm transmitter due to the cord cracking and breaking because of the cold weather. It's not good quality so don't waste your money on it for any reason.

No this charges well. it has a usb plug in on the side that you can plug your own charger into. If you have a phone with a usb charger end. aka iPhone. Samsung galaxy, etc.

Hi,Have you given it a good charge? If this is not the issue you could contact the company, I found them extremely helpful and eager to help their customers.

yes I don't see why it would not work, you should use a charge controller to prevent overcharging

You can ask them to send you a new one, that might charge you for just the charger, I don't know.

You should. This thing is pretty good if you want to just have a speaker around everywhere and just charge it at home.

You can buy a charger with the same size input. It doesn't mater what brand.

As far as I know anything that charges via USB. You may want to ask that of the company too though.

I wouldn't worry with getting a charger. I bought two of these for Christmas gifts. Nether worked.. It was more trouble to return them than it was to toss them than

I would buy a less expensive one with a charger. This one has batteries. It would probably work just as well.

yes, but there are better products out there that are strictly for charging - I think Belkin makes one that has two 2amp outs and tow 1 amp outs. This will take a much longer time.

Absolutely NOT!! I bought a refurb which didn't come with a charger and thought I'd save a couple bucks with this because the cables are so expensive. NOT!!

I got an AC charger at a computer repair shop. They had a bunch of old chargers in a bin and they gave it to me for free! Be sure it delivers at least 1500ma output though, or you'll be charging your battery for a long time. Also, I found a cigarette lighter (12V plug) power cord, brand new at a thrift store for $4. Works great.

Nope. It is better to buy something that is rated higher. In case there is a need of higher power consumption. Besides, it is better to be over-rated then under in such scenario and prevents any of this eletrcial items from burning out. :)

I'd have to say do as the battery states. For if you do anything different the battery will burn out faster or take a false charge.

You SHOULD charge it just to make sure its actually working. It could mean nothing that you received it that way.

No, that would be a function of the unit being charged, but I'm not sure there is a danger of overcharging with phones, etc. This unit is not as strong and , therefore, as fast as your regular USB cable from a wall plug.
