Bought this as a gift for someone. Does this charge the battery by usb port? What if the person its going to doesn't have a computer? What kind of charger (specifically) should I purchase? Any specifics would be a huge help.

It does charge by USB. Plug it into any phone charger or any USB adapter. Buy any universal USB charger/adapter.

You charge it via its provided USB cord. Hook it up to your computer or any USB port and It will charge. I have a plug in USB port that fits into my cigarette lighter socket.I needs to be charged after two rounds.

Mine came with a battery, the charging cable is built in so you can't lose it - charges through a computers USB port Very happy with this purchase

Between the 2 USB ports is a micro connector that plugs into the external battery with a USB connector on the other end . You just plug that into any USB port and charge the external battery. Easy !

Never heard of a USB battery. Mine didn't work when I first hooked it up to my computer. Found out it came with a bad cable. With another cable I had laying around it works extremely well. You have to have it hooked up to your USB port on your computer to power it and also to receive WI FI.

As I recall, there was only the USB type connection, so it charged from the computer. I believe there are adaptors to turn the one into a prong thingy. I haven't researched it myself. Best of luck.

I charge it by plugging it into an outlet but, I'm sure you can charge it by computer too. Hope that helps

USB charge... Super simple to use, and battery lasts for a pretty long time... i have not had it go dead yet.

it's mini usb with a wall charger. It is proprietary - you must use the wall charger that is supplied or it will not charge. It does not charge while plugged into the usb port of the computer either.

The unit gets charged when attached to a computer. I assume that the internal battery will permanently fail someday, but mine has been through many recharge cycles while plugged into my computer and it still functions. I guess when mine stops working, away from a computer USB port, I will toss it and buy another.

If it actually works, charge with their proprietary special cable that plugs into a usb charger until it breaks. This item is crap; buy a VASS brand battery. It uses a standard mini-usb input.

My guess is yes, I don't own one. My thinking is anything you connect to a computer to charge (USB), this charger would work.

It comes with an usb cord-that can be charged via your computer. Or you can use a wall chord that has the adapter plug that you may already have . Stays charged quite awhile.Great product.Also I see that it is a better price than when I purchased (2) so I have ordered another one!

There is a micro USB port on the SIDE of the device. Connect that to either your computer (via a regular USB connector) or a charger for your smart phone works too. I use my iPhone charger for mine. It's a great little battery, so convenient about the size of 2 credit cards. You won't be sorry. From what I remember it comes with a cord with appropriate ends and a small wall charger but, not positive. At any rate, there are several easy ways to charge it.

Thank you so much for the explanation! I was worried that the USB is only for file transfer but not for charging battery, but this answered my questions!

I charge it by flipping out the USB plug and plugging it into the side of my laptop, or into your usb port in your computer. Hope this helps:)

You need to charge the battery...keep it plugged into your computer over night for the initial charge
