My family already had the USB wall charger pictured here: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Universal-Travel-Home-Charger/dp/B004WMJFSU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1353853853&sr;=8-2&keywords;=iphone+usb+wall+charger. They're relatively inexpensive and work well.

The only way you can do this is by obtaining a USB wall charger, otherwise you can plug into your computers USB port to charge

You'll need an additional adapter to charge from a wall socket. The unit only ships wih a USB charger.To note, most of your cell phone chargers already come with the "USB to wall socket" adapter, so you may actually have one already.

I coupled the included USB cable with my phone's wall charger which accepts USB connection and it worked like a charm.

I just used another wall charger to charge it that had a micro usb output. It did not come with one.

i usually charge it with my laptop or sometimes from my Samsung galaxy s3 charger

Laptop charging takes tooooooo long. I recommend using a leftover USB wall charger you have from another accessory.

I have several USB chargers - Razr Maxx, Droid X, Kindle and a car charger. They all work fine with with this unit.

On the left side it has a port. It came with a charger and it can only go in on spot.. This is a joke/test question, right?

Hi Darrell, You just plug it in (it comes with a charging cord) your wall outlet. It takes a while to charge, but holds the charge for up to 2 or three months. Note: When finished charging whatever it is you're charging, remember to turn off the charger (big yellow knob) or it will discharge and you'll have to re-charge it.

Hi David, are you sure that you. Charged it correctly? By that I mean, have you charged it from a wall outlet? If you're charging it from a computer some computers require you to plug in the sound/speaker cable too. For example, when I plug it in to my laptop to charge I just need the USB cable and that it, it will charge. BUT if I am charging it from my Desktop I need to ALSO plug in the headphone/speaker cable. So you might think it is charging when it is not. If you're going to. Charge it from a desktop make sure you plug in the USB cable to the computer AND the speaker/headphone cable too. Also make sure the blue light is blinking. That will tell you that it is charging. I hope that helps!

I am a little confused because I read that the only way to charge it is through USB. Does it come with any sort of wall charger or any adapter to plug the charger with that mini plug into the usb port?

You can charge it with either of the provided cords. The smaller end of the cord goes in the actual external battery and the bigger end goes in the wall charger outlet like any other normal USB charger would go into. Hope I helped!

You will need a USB wall charger. When you charge your phone/tablet with the Anker, you place the large side of the USB cord into the Anker and the micro/mini side into your device that needs to be charged, right? Well, simply do the opposite to charge the Anker itself. Place the micro side into the Anker, and the large side into the USB wall charger. (You can also charge off of the "powered" USB ports off of your computer the same way.) If this didn't help, I can include links next time. Cheers, you've got a great charger on your hands if you bought this.

It doesn't have a wall charger, however, you should be able to get a USB wall charger from your local cell phone carrier store or major retailer. If so, you can use it at home or wherever you may be.

Sorry for not answering sooner. Yes, it comes with a wall charger and USB cable. But you can also use any standard micro-USB charger (such as a car charger). And since most devices now use the micro-USB format for charging, you could easily amass quite a collection of chargers - I currently have 8 or 10 of them... I've lost track. That can come in handy when you buy something that doesn't include one, or if you want to keep one packed in your travel bag to be sure you don't forget it when you're on the road.

It comes with the charger you plug into the wall, just like a phone charger, you plug it into a small port in the bottom and leave it to charge for a while. It's that simple!

Hello Azlynne and thank you for your order, you will need 2 USB cords. 1 USB cord from your device to the main port at the top part of the unit, and another USB from the post to a wall outlet, this should charge the device while on the stand. Please feel free to contact me for further assistance. Thanks again Andrea

The wall charger I pchsd from an Amazon supplier didn't work on anything. It cost only $2.85, and fell apart the first time I tried to use it. Unfortunately, I had it a month befroe I tried it, and the supplier wouldn't replace it. Sorry for the no response. -- GM

The way it comes out of the box you halve to charge with the USB. You can buy a charging adapter from Amazon. I had a suitable charger that has the same wattage, so I didn't buy one. Either way of charging works great.

The end that charges the item has to be plugged into a USB receiver. Either a PC or an iPhone plug that plugs into the wall. To add to my last review... I must say that after re-charging it and using it a few times, it seems to be holding a charge way longer then the first time, making it more handy to have for emergencies! I'm considering purchasing another for my teenager. Hope this helps!

Well, the charger that I got was a USB to mini-USB cord, which I assume you could plug into whichever USB wall mount you had. This is not a terribly informed answer, but it's the best I've got.

what type of connection are you using to charge the device? Some wall outlet-USB converters have an issue with that so that would be my first course of action. Ill search for the digital copy of an instruction book if I can find one I'll respond with it. Also try leaving it for a full 8 hours chargin after draining it all the way if you want to make absolutely sure it fully charges. Thats with ALL batteries that do recharging. frequently drainging fully then recharging fully is the best way to ensure longevitty

The USB port is powered by plugging into a wall outlet. It then charges your devices (phones, tablets, etc.) through the USB port into a cord into your device. I am not sure if I understand your question completely, but you can not supply power back through the USB when it it is not plugged into a wall outlet (I don't know why you would want to do that. What would you be sending the power over the USB to? A power outlet??? Also, there is only one USB outlet on the device so you can not charge from say a laptop to a phone. And again why would you, just hook the USB cord from the laptop directly to the phone in that case.)

It comes with a charger. Just plug it into a wall socket and it will charge.
