It's meant for connecting an external drive to your computer, both power and data transfer. What are you going to charge?

I am sure you can but I prefer not to do that. If I have a plug for mycharge then I should be able to directly plug my phone into the wall.

yes you can, but I have only done it on USB 2.0 or a usb wall charger of at least 1.0 amps.

Yes, plug the cable into a typical USB wall block, like the ones commonly used with iPhone cables.

Yes. You can charge it from a computer using the USB connection, or charge it from an outlet if you also have a USB plug adapter.

Yes but you'll still need an external power source. I always plug in with USB.

Yes, you can buy a wall adapter (micro USB) that will charge it via a wall outlet.

Not unless you want to. You can charge this battery by plugging it into an outlet.

You would need to get a block that plugs into an electric outlet that accepts a USB cord - like what is used to charge an iPhone - it comes wit a cord to charge from a computer USB port

No it just plugs directly into a 120v wall outlet. No USB or micro USB outlets

No, it is wired in directly, so a source of power must be present but a cord with plug could be added.

It plugs directly into an outlet. Beware these units are highly unreliable, read my review for my results. They are cheaply built and have a high failure rate.

Sure, I plug it into a 12v back up battery I charge with a solar panel. But you could use an outlet.

yes, you can......however I notice a buzzing sound when its plugged in. charging is so quick that keeping plugged in is unnecessary

You can power it through the wall socket, but it only comes with a USB cord. I use my phone charger to plug it into the wall (my phone charger has a port for the cord).
