Does the charging cable use a proprietary connector at the lamp base, or something universal & easily replaced by a longer generic?

Just to follow up here, I was able to find a longer replacement cable very easily at Radio Shack. It's a fairly universal connector that's found on a wide variety of products.BTW I'm loving this lamp. It's awesome. I keep it in my backpack & it has been very handy to have in a variety of situations.

I am not sure of the model numbers and such, but the charger that came with my tablet is exactly the same as the docking station as well. In fact you CANT use any other charger, sadly, it is proprietary.

The connector that plugs into the charging unit looks similar to the connector used to plug a charger into a wide variety of rechargable devices. (like a portable vacuum cleaner I own) but I would be very careful that whatever panel you try as a replacement it would need to have the exact same current and voltage ratings as the compatible one you are attempting to replace. (no they are not all the same) I do not know the exact part number for the connector (and am not going to try and figure it out) Hope this is helpful Patrick

Yes. Battery needs to be in the lamp/flash light housing before you plugin the charging cable. Charging socket is a part of housing so battery muct be inserted into the battery holding slot in the housing.

I did not receive an adaptor or charger with mine. I use batteries which fall out because of faulty casing and the light is not bright enough. So, in other words, I don't think much of this lamp!

This cable conforms to a standard size USB device while the Lightning connector uses a proprietary connector, which is entirely different.

The one I got plugs into the wall via a cable(included) and the light fits into it cradle for charging.

I went to radio shack and bought one of their universal chargers. The employee showed me the correct one and it works great!

I can't say for sure, but as far as I can tell, any usb charging cord will fit the device.

It is designed to work with the original wall charger. As long as your charging port is functioning properly--they sometimes come loose--then this replacement battery will charge as the original battery did. If the charging indicator lamp on your cell phone does not turn on when you plug it in, then you might have a loose/broken charging port, in which case you need to replace it rather than the battery. You can also see if pushing the plug back, forward, up, or down solves the problem on a loose charging port.

The lamp has a standard 1/4 20 female fitting in the bottom of the case. It will atop a light stand or other adapters or clamps with this type of connection.

It comes with its own USB charging cable. Other types will not fit so don't lose it

I've used both a mini-usb to usb cable to any USB source and the proprietary. Any charger that give acceptable mini-usb power can work.

I use the an old cell phone charger. The charger that came with the lamp is a KUANTEN model #SSA051F050050USD, input: 50/60hz 0.2A output 5V @0.5A

I also have that touch lamp and mine works perfectly. Love it. There could be something in the wiring in the pole part of the lamp, that is giving you a short.

I don't have that cable so I am not sure but the charger hole is a decent size. Sorry if I wasn't able to help.

Jeff, this is common with these. If you open it up (not easy) you will find a circuit board, battery and starter to provide the charge to the lamp. None of these parts are readily available. I gave up trying. If you are within warranty the maker should help you out. This carries the brand name of Stanley but is not made by Stanley anymore. Really a shame because it is a very good lamp.
