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'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.

Hi, I'm a little confused... If it's a tablet, doesn't it charge via USB? If it's a laptop I could understand the choice between 9 and 12 V but if it's a tablet, i'm not really sure whether 9 or 12 volts are used...

I am using a micro USB cable with an old blackberry USB power adapter. It is pretty ridiculous that the manufacturer does not provide the charger for this item, they sell it seperately....won't be buying from them again.

The existing charger should work. Look at the charger. They list what volt charging it supports.

You can use a wall charger made by a different company. I do and it works just fine. Hope this helped :)

I've never tried it, but typically it should not charge because the 6v solar charger is specific to dry-cell rechargeable battery. A 12v battery is acid filled and you must have a 12v solar panel with trickle to charge acid filled battery. Otherwise it could blow up!

The charger can handle input voltage from 100 to 240 volts. So, you should be able to use the charger with only an adapter. I have found the charger to be quick in recharging the batteries.

If you can find a USB AAA charger you like. I believe USB is 4.5V. 1.5V to 1.25V is AAA. My guess is two AAA batteries, at a time would be best since this is a low power charger.

I have a UV-82, and it did not work. I sent it back for a refund. I don't know if it works with a UV-B6.

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

I would not use a 6v charger on a 12 volt battery (assuming you have a 12v battery, or why else would you ask?). The 6v battery tender charger will not even cycle on unless the battery voltage drops below a certain point, well below what you would need in your car.

I would look on your original charger's electrical specs and make sure the numbers match. With most chargers I've ordered, they have worked if I did that. This charger, however, was mis-advertised. It says it is a DC 5V 2A, but it was in reality a DC 5V 1500mA, which didn't work on my Android tablet, so I had to return it.

You could use any generic micro-USB cable (B Type) to charge this. As far as the wall charger is is concerned, you can use any 5Volts /1 Amp USB wall charger, I use the wall charger of my old android phone with that spec and it works just fine. Here's a link to how this cable looks like: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-Cable-Micro-Meters/dp/B003ES5ZSW

Hi frank !! If your adapter has a small USB port , you just plug your regular cell phone sync / charge cable on it . Otherwise , I doesn't know another way to give a charge power to your phone. Just give it a full charge or try to get an adapter with the small USB port , like I got . I hope that was helpful . Ok ?? Have a great day !!!

I was having a few problems to when I use a wall outlet type charger, but I find it works perfectly find when I put it into something else with a USB port (examples: HD TV with a USB port, game console, computer desktop or laptop.) so give that a try oh an I'm sure your not doing it wrong it's kind of hard to but make sure you put the small tip into the device an the USB tip into your choice of charging port an the device should turn red when charging. Oh an by the way it do charge on a cell phone charger as well hope this info was helpful.
