Is the device ITSELF charged via computer USB or AC wall power? Once you have used it for charging mp3 player, iphone, etc...does it then plug into a computer USB port to get juiced back up?

Yes, you use a USB port to juice this back up. You can even charge this battery while something is plugged into it, to charge both battery and device at the same time. It also comes with a 100-240V wall adapter which has a USB port. Or if you have something like an iPhone which comes with a wall-&gt;USB power adapter, you can use that as well. I've had this thing for a few months now, and the versatility is just awesome.

This device does not charge using USB. It has a separate charge port. You can run and charge this device after internal battery has drain down using the charge port.

Yeah, I use my phone charger and a mini usb cord from an old mp3 playe that fits it. I don't know about the charge as it is plugged in more often than not and has yet to be put to the test.

Yes, I have it charging via the 5v/Line in plugged into a usb port on our phone system and I am playing our hold music off of a memory stick. I did however have to modify the casing on my memory stick to get it and the 5v plugged in next to each other because they are so close together. I also had to modify my mini plug casing (for the sound out) so it too could plug into the player next to the 5v. The player is great but it can be a little tight if you want the 5v plugged in along with a memory stick and/or a mini plug for sound.

No, the device charges with a micro-USB, icluded. The other end IS USB so if you want to charge AC you will need a USB to AC adapter.

You plug the 1.5mm jack (or maybe 1 mm jack, I don't know I haven't measured) into the FM transmitter and USB into car charger, or PC or wall charger and it will start charging. but you gotta have FM transmitter plugged in. It charges your iPod. The FM Transmitter runs off the ipod's battery.

It comes with a USB power cord. So my hubby charges it thru the computer. Although we have several iPhone plugs so maybe the USB could be used with it to charge.

It can be charged from the USB port of your computer with the same cable used to transfer music, though it is a bit of a mismatch in many circumstances and slow. Should it not have come with an AC adapter with it, and they do not all, one can be had by entering "ac to usb adapter" (without the quotes) in the search box and looking there. Be sure to check the shipping charge to get the true cost. Can be had for $3 -4 if you look. Also check for where it comes from as on listed comes from Hong Kong and may take longer.

I keep mine plugged in the wall socket but I unhooked it and plugged it in my computer's USB port and the red charging indicator light lights up...the same as it does when the speaker is plugged in the wall socket....so, I'd say yes it does charge from the computer usb port. This speaker has awesome sound. I purchased based on Phillips name and other audio products of theirs I purchased and everyone I show my speaker off to is impressed. Go for it!

It uses the USB cable. There is no ac adapter or normal plug for wall outlets. It will charge while you are putting files on it. Sometimes it needs to be plugged into the computer longer if the battery has been drained.

Hi Ashley, just to be clear, the unit only charges batteries when plugged into the wall outlet. Also one thing that might not be apparent is the fact that while you can charge electronics using the USB charger, it does NOT charge them while you are charging anything else. If you are charging a few AA batteries and plug a cell phone into the USB plug, the unit will wait until the AA batteries are charged BEFORE it will charge the cell phone plugged into the USB port. Keep in mind, you can charge something through the USB port while batteries are discharging. However, once the batteries are done discharging, the USB charging port will shut off when the batteries start to charge. Hope this helps.

The unit IS the wall plug. On the back of the unit (opposite side from Logo shown on Amazon) is a standard 110v 2 prong connector. So you plug this unit right into the wall (or use any standard extension cord including the cheap ones for lamps, etc). USB slot as mentioned is for charging your phone/tablet that might be providing the tunes and the Mini Jack is the audio output.The USB Jack is a nice touch but instantly makes me wonder why you wouldn't just use the headphone jack on the device and save yourself $35 if they are that close together.

It does charge with the USB wall charger a computer USB charger. Be sure to cycle the batter at least 3 times. Completely kill the bat before you charge it again otherwise your phone won't read the battery properly and you wont get a full charge or the phone will go into energy save mode even though you still have plenty of life left. I use about 15gigs of data and about 4000 minutes of talk time a month, plus the kids play with the games on my phone and I still can get easily 2.5 days of use out of it.

I generally plug mine into the computer. If you have a Wall adapter , you can charge that way as well. It doesn't come with one though.

The unit is charged via micro USB from an external source. (PC, AC Wall charger, etc...) I hope this helps to answer your question.

I don't think it will charge through a computer, mine doesn't. I use my iPhone chargers wall adapter and plug the cord into it, it does take a good while to charge though.

It uses a wall charger, no USB here. The unit has a big battery and seems to last forever so I am guessing it needs more juice than a USB charger can provide.
