Yes, you would have to buy a wall plug charger. You could, of course, do the initial battery charge off your computer and she could use the hand-crank to charge it, or she could leave it in the sun and the photovoltaic panels could charge it.

I used a charger (my iPhone) to charge it the first time, never ever after that, I could've used a computer's USB port too, but that was it for one time, it's hand cranking or Sun light niw

If you don't know what a USB connection is then it would be worth buying the optional charger.

The idea of this radio is it is solar powered and crank, you turn a handle to power it. The idea for use is if there is no electricity, you can still have radio service and can power a cell phone. There are adapters that come with the radio that you plug into the radio and then your device (such as cell phone). So no, you do not need to buy a wall charger. It doesn't work that way.

I actually purchased the wall adapter charger for the USB cable today. Its by COBY as well (though you can use it for any MP3 just about I am sure). I purchased it because I dont want to have to turn my computer on whenever this MP3 PLAYER needs to be charged. It is actually only $8 dollars (was $12.00) must be on sale or something, so Its not even as EXPENSIVE as some of the more expensive MP3 PLAYER WALL CHARGERS. I hear its great. i am hoping it charges faster than the computer.

You can purchase an ac wall unit that accepts USB plugs. Many electronics are going this way and you may already have one.

One needs to have an adaptor to plug into a wall outlet. I use the adaptor from an iPhone charger or any similar common adaptor a USB port fits into.

AC adapter provided.. Otherwise, you can purchase an AC plug with USB ports.

The unit comes with a USB cord to plug into your laptop to charge. Or you need to purchase a USB wall charger.

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.

If you have a keyboard, you got a cord with a USB connection. That hooks to your computer for the charge. There are USB adapters that plug into wall outlets that may work. You would plug your unit into the adapter then the wall. I have not tried this, you may want to check with the manufacturer to see if this will work.

The charger I have has a cord that can be plugged into a wall socket or you can use the USB and plug it into a computer, etc.

You just need a USB charger to power the unit. The power supply voltage is immaterial.

Yes, you have to plug it into a USB port (the ports on the computer) to use it. HOWEVER, There are plenty of super cheap USB to Standard Outlet converters, so if you want to plug it into a wall its still possible, you just need to buy one of those at any department store.

The manufacturer no longer includes a wall charger, this device would come with a USB cord to charge which can be connected into your laptop or computer

USB plugs into AC adapter which plugs into the wall. This device is awesome. I own two of them.

You can plug it into your computer or into the wall with a USB wall adapter. This doesn't come with the USB wall adapter.

It comes with the USB cord to charge via computer. Wall charger is available from company - free with Amazon review. I hope that is what you meant by your question.

USB cord comes with it, for charging from a computer or other USB source. Wall socket-USB charging adaptors are available but you'd have to buy it separately. I just charge mine from my laptop when it needs it.

The charger is a plug in your computer charger, so you must plug it in while on your computer to charge it. I had an old cell phone charger which fit this SanDisk, so I am able to use a wall plug, and it works fine. You may need to shop plug in chargers at a store or cell phone store to get a plug in the wall charging device that fits this SanDisk.
