Can I plug this into my computer via the USB cable and charge a battery that way? How about with a car charger that uses USB?

Dear Bibliophile... The answer to your questions "Can I plug this into my computer via USB & charge that way?", THE ANSWER IS YES! YOU CAN CHARGE YOUR CELL PHONE 3.38AC BATTERY VIA VEHICLES 12VDC CIGARETTE LIGHTER POWER OUT JACK. *SAFETY INFORMATIONAL*; IF A MALFUNCTION OCCURS WHEN CHARGING IN DC (Direct OT USE YOUR BODY TO TOUCH, GRAB & SEPERATE THE INDIVIDUAL FROM BEING SHOCKED. Direct current is a direct line of electricity without any pause. Its a direct continuous charge, that will suck a subject into it like a magnet, & stick one to it as the shock never stops or pauses. AC=Alternating Current, it starts and stops very quickly, pausing just long enough to throw the subject being shocked away from the charge. WHEN BEING SHOCKED, ESPECIALLY IN DC, USE A WOODEN STICK TO PUSH THE ELECTROCUTED PERSONS AWAY FROM THE POWER SOURCE. Anyway, &#9733;YES, IT WILL CHARGE from your Computer&#9733; and vehicle! I hope this helps!!! bkripto@gmail.com nkriptor IS an xda.developer on the xda SAMSUNG S3 FORUM FOR US.Sprint/Boost Mobile. The carrier doesn't matter in this case. The charge is the same regardless of the carrier. Since my input jact was broken, & Samsung ceased responsibility due to it being a manuel insertion port, & the forces used to plug/unplug the power in. They cannot be responsibile for a possible heavy hand breaking it. I have since bought 5 Samsung Batteries, & 4 external chargers... 2 slotted battery slip in chargers & 2 base chargers where the batteries seat themselves within the base. & I use the Q1 wireless charger. All work excellent. Thank you! XDA DEVELOPER for SAMSUNG S3 US SPRINT/BOOSTBMOBILE Bill bkripto@gmail.com nkriptor

Yes and yes. Although I would suggest securing it somewhere in your car because the cord and battery can fall out fairly easily.

It comes with a USB cable that you can plug into your computer. I purchased this as well- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HQORGQO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it came with a car charger as well as a wall charger.

You can use any USB cable with a Micro-USB port on one side. If you use a charger that can provide 2A output, then your battery will charge faster. You can use a charger that provides less than 2A output, but your battery will take a long time to charge.

Hello Hasan,Yes. The battery pack can be charged using the micro-usb cable that is provided in the box. You can either attach the cable to a usb wall adapter or you can connect it to a USB port in your computer.

I believe so. The USB charges an iPhone, so I don't see why it wouldn't charge it from the car charger (which has a step-down to ensure the 12Volt battery is not the charge you're getting). This little unit is SO useful that I'd still buy it - even if it didn't do that (but I'm pretty sure it will work for you for that use).

No, the USB charges the battery and it won't work w/o battery. Although you can work with it while charging, but it is recommended not to do so, to increase the life of your battery.

It charges via USB port, so yes, as long as you have a USB port in the car or have an adapter to plug into your cigarette lighter

I've done it from an OLD 0.5A/500mA usb wall charger. Computer usb ports put out 5v at 0.5A/500mA, whereas most newer usb chargers put out 5-5.1v at 1A or more, so the battery may not be able to handle the higher amperage.

It comes with a USB cable that you can use to attach it to your computer. That will charge the battery. I ended up buying an accessory kit for it, which included an outlet charger.

I charge mine with the USB cable supplied with it connected to my computer. I haven't had a chance to use it more than 30 minutes so far in short films of 3-10 minutes apiece. I also have a car charger with two USB plugs that I used once and it takes a while to charge either way.

The device has a USB connector for charging, you use the cable that came with your cell phone or tablet to charge by USB. A Laptop battery would be too large, I would not expect to get a laptop battery charge through this. If you have a laptop that charges by USB (i do not know of any) , theoretically you could charge with it, even if partial.

You can use any Micro USB cable to charge the battery you can have that here... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_10?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=micro%20usb%20cable&sprefix;=micro+usb+%2Caps%2C275&rh;=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amicro%20usb%20cable

Yes, you can charge the battery with the USB cable that goes to computer and it also comes with an external wall charger. Also a second battery was included so you will always have a spare!

It is charged via usb so I don't see why not but I wouldn't drain my car battery to charge it.

That is an interesting proposal of using a charged battery in the charger to try to charge another device using the attached USB port. I have never tried it. Reviewing the manual, it only talks about using the USB port as a power source from computer to charge the battery in the charger but not the other way round. Do not know the answer. You may call Anker yourself. 1 800 988 7973

Comes with a cable to connect to a computer through USB. The battery will be charged in this way, but there is no separate charger. I suppose any USB charger could do.

Anything with a standard USB input will charge; if it plugs into your computer USB, it will plug into the car charger.
