The product description says "The U-3 even has the ability to charge cell phones". If it does not have a USB port, how will it charge a cell phone?

I believe you need to obtain an adapter from the Sangean. I did not receive any cords that would allow me to charge my phone, and there is no USB port.

The U-3 has the ability to charge cell phones only if the following apply:You have the cell phone connector plug with a 2.5 mm plug on the other end.You know the polarity and voltage the cell phone connector requires is correct. If in doubt ask your cell phone dealer.The 2.5mm connector nor any cell phone charge connectors are available from Sangean. Bob at Sangean dot com

In regards to the description, it's not very specific with what type of phone it can charge nor the output type. However, I looked on the radio in order to answer your question and I believe the only type of output this radio gives is DC Out, and it is a very tiny hole. That said, I should assume this is for an older type model of cell phone and not for the modern smart phones as those take a lot of power to charge. I hope this helps.

it has a regular USB and a mini HDMI port and you can get and adapter for that and the usb can recharg cellphones but not all the way but just enough to use for emerginces of for to charg it half way depending on ur pfone or othe usb devise and it will not recharg its self it is not a good idea to do that

It comes with 3 different cell phone adapters. I don't know what specific brands it fits, but it wouldn't matter if it was a smart phone or not. My phone is a Samsung flip phone and there is one that fits it and it works. My old Motorola took a standard mini USB and there is one of those in there too. I don't know what the 3rd adapter fits, looks like a smart phone, maybe the older iphones, I'm not sure. There is also a standard sized USB adapter, so if you can charge you phone or any other device by plugging it into a USB port, it will work that way too. So, to sum up, if the adapter fits, it will charge it.

The only thing that it can charge is your phone. There is a port for that on the front.

This works fine with my 2nd generation iPhone 3G, but it does not charge the phone. A message pops up on the iPhone screen warning you that it is not charging. Nevertheless, it works well for playing music or podcasts over the car radio. I drove across the Sacramento valley listening to a podcast and never had a problem with interference. Again, don't expect this device to charge your iPhone 3G.

Yes, underneath the grey rectangle on the black box with the wires coming out of it is a USB port. I used it to charge my Galaxy s3 etc. It is slow however. I think next time I may use it to charge a battery pack and then use the battery pack to recharge my gear.

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.

It has a standard UBS receptacle similar to a type 2 on a computer or laptop. I got it for charging a cell phone but I would think it should work for a GPS as well. I have tried it with my iPhone and it takes a lot of cranking to get the battery level to increase even a litttle so be aware of that. It does seem to charge but not as nearly as quick as I would have expected or desired. Hope that helps.

There's a port the back of the light or whatever ADJ Product you have. The UC3 plugs right into the back of it. It looks like a headphone jack.

Charge up to 2 small USB compatible electronic devices, so as long as the device has a USB cable, it will charge it.

i do not have this unit any longer as i bought it as a gift and it is now in another state.you should be able to charge it through the usb port also as power is fed throught the usb ports also.you can check this out by letting the unit run down and then plug in a usb wall wart.your cellphone is charged through its usb input.the person that i gave the tablet to is still using it in school and loves it.you can access many libraries from it to help with school work.it costs you nothing to do this.have a nice day.

It has a 3 prong male end that can fold into it making it better for travel (all three fold out at the same time so it can't be folded into a 2 prong). Just tried it with the adapter of a 3 to 2 and I am able to charge my phone!

I returned mine so I do not know. Please let me know if you find a place that does. The Jawbone website may sell it but I didn't check there because I wanted the charger the same time I wanted the Up3.

It charges just like you charge a cell phone battery. It's got the universal mini USB port. Plug the charger in and charge it up. :)

It charges my iPhone 5 so it should definitely charge the 3. As long as a phone has a USB charging cable it will work.

It has 3 USB ports. It does not have the 30 pin apple connector. It will connect and charge your iPhone through the two top USB ports

It uses a micro-USB port to charge... so I have been able to use any number of different micro-USB chargers... If you want me to measure the current required post a response.
