how does rechargeable feature work? is it a plug-in?

How it works is speculation since I have not opened it up or seen an electronic schematic. I suspect there is a small rechargeable battery in the removable head. It charges as long as the removable head is plugged into the flexible neck. I assume you have not seen it so I will describe what you receive.. With the light comes a "wall wort" that plugs in to the mains and feeds a low voltage to the base of the lamp. There is an on-off button on the base that controls the power to the battery-light. That is the source of power for charging the battery that seems to power the LEDs. There is a separate switch on the removable head that turns on and off the LEDs.

The entire unit plugs into the wall to be used as a lamp. The 'head' of the unit is charged while it is on the neck. You remove the head as a portable flashlight. Returning the head to the lamp recharges the it's battery.

The base has a dual functions: charger and table lamp base. The base has a push button switch (red LED) with three states: ON (LED light ON), OFF (no base light), and OFF (with red LED ON, this is charging mode). Yes the base needs to be plugged into the wall socket for charging the LED light. The lamp and base can still be used without plugging it into the wall socket. In this case, the light is using the rechargeable battery inside. Hope this helps.

Yes, It has a cord that comes with it that plugs into the an outlet to recharge the lamp/flashlight.

It has a "refresh" function where, after inserting your battery, you press the "Refresh" button and it undergoes a deep cycle - completely "draining the battery", so to speak, and then charging it back up*. I've brought some batteries back from the (presumed) dead thanks to this feature. You cannot set the charging current, though. I believe the unit automatically does this (other users should chime in here). The unit's display has battery indicators that provide you with the current charge status. One thing about the display - it is BRIGHT. Like, "Oh, you're going to sleep? How about I light your dreams through your eyelids?" bright. I put a semi-transparent tissue paper to take care of that. *Note: you will have to make sure your battery has a tiny bit of charge to it, otherwise the charger will say it is bad. In this case, charge your batt in a dumb charger for a few minutes and then put it in this for a deep cycle.

Yes it is rechargeable I took the power wheel charger and cut the end off and wired on 2 prong molded connector on the end and I also made a 2 prong molded connector that hooks upto the battery so you just plug it into a outlet to charge it

Yes, it is rechargable. The photo shows the little jack, the same size as on your phone. Switch the cord it comes with so that it plugs in to here instead of your phone, then plug the regular USB plug in to a power source, computer or power plug on the wall. The four little lights will have one show red for the part that is charging (25%, 50%, 75% or last bit to 100% full). When it's fully charged, they will all be blue. I've had it two years, and it still works great.

Mine recharges from the USB port. If is standard USB no problem. If you have an AC to USB converter, you're fine.

Yes, it's rechargeable. You just plug it into your computer's USB to charge. The charge lasts a few days if it's not used all the time.

It plugs in where you plug in your power cord to recharge. I see it's on sale for under ten bucks. I don't use mine often but it's handy to move files from my PC to my 7" Galaxy and my wife's 11' Galaxy. My Galaxies are several years old by now so I can't say for 100% certain how it reacts to newer models.

It recharges from the system it is plugged into I believe. Much like a thumb drive.

There's definitely a builtin, rechargeable battery yes. That said, it doesn't seem to charge via USB - i.e. when I plug it into my laptop to copy files onto it, it can't get its power via the USB connection, nor will the battery charge if left plugged into the laptop for a long time. It seems like it'll charge only via the AC adapter.

Mine came with a charger that uses a USB connector. I does not seem to hold a charge for very long. The best I can manage is about an hour of use. It has a separate connection that also allows you to program it. If you don't get that you are out of luck. I also use my apple wall connector to recharge because it the USB connection will fit there too.

Yes, you just plug it into an outlet to recharge it. But you cannot charge something while you are recharging.

Hi, the one I have has a built in rechargeable battery, and it comes with a plug in voltage converter

It must be plugged in to charge up. After it is all charged up it does not have to be plugged in to work. And, works very well. Read directions before using though.

It has a battery that is removable and comes with a little charger that you plug into any outlet. So you just pop the battery into the charger, then plug it in, and it charges.

It recharges via a usb connection. Mine, however, was defective upon arrival. See my review for details. I would not recommend this item.

This is not a recharger. It is simply a USB cord in a compact style to fit in your wallet. It will charge your phone when plugged into a USB outlet with the same speed a regular USB cord would. That being said it is a handy device to have as I have it tucked in my wallet and always have it with me in an emergency to charge my phone.
