Does anyone know what kind of USB cable is needed to (re)charge this device? I have tried several, and none fit.

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

Any standard USB cable works with it. I use it to charge my Galaxy Note and my iPhone (using Amazon Basics cables - they are nice and cheap)

This isn't a retail packaged item, and does not come with its own usb cable. You'll want to have your own mini USB cable (very common) with a low profile plug housing (the area around the port on the charger is somewhat limited by the design).

I use my Android cell phone charger. That or just a normal USB cable should work!

Any mini USB cable will charge it. check your old charges they are were the standard. You can find them on Amazon or Ebay (do new only). Just look in the slot; if shaped like a pyramid (mini); if shaped straight and skinny (micro)

Any regular micro-USB cable will work with this. The instructions say about 8 hours to charge but it depends on the amperage of your charger. Hope this helps!!

Have you tried contacting the company? And why would you need a adapter? It has a USB port.

My experience is get the least expensive one. They do about the same thing-I have had multiple versions of the original, but all my chargers fit it. Otherwise I would just get a new one.

I believe I have found the answer. I suspected it was the weirdo USB cable it shipped with. I bought a new one, and it charges just fine. It's annoying that it uses a non-standard USB connector. My headphones are just fine now. Currently, i've positioned my charging cable so that it never really twists and turns, which is what I think caused the original problem. I think the internals of the cable just aren't very good.

I don't remember getting a charger with this. I'm pretty sure you use the one that came with your device. That being said, I'm glad I bought the cradle and have been very happy with it. You should be able to find a standard USB charger to plug your cable into just about anywhere these days.

I plug it into my computer. Did you receive a cord with a USB cable? My bet is you did and it doesn't seem to be charging. I thought the same thing at first. My problem was I kept losing the connection and it would shut down. I think that's one of its inherent problems. Hope this helps...

Good luck. The one my grandson had was missing a charging port connection. My attempts at getting a solution were futile. I fear you wasted $18 on a POS.

You can use any USB cable in the USB OUTPUT port i- such as the USB cable that comes with the device you wish to charge. Does this help?

Had a similar issue; it had to be replaced. Based on what I was told when I called them, the initial batch of these went out with this sort of problem. In my case, while it still worked, it would no longer charge and was not recognized by the computer's USB port (I tried it on several different computers). As I recall, mine did not have a model number on it, which was their indication that it was one of those in the first batch.

Do you have the unit? The company help desk was good when I had a couple questions on the installation, and they might have an idea on this. You could try to find a usb connected to an rca type plug that would replace the cord connecting to your phone. Might work. Good luck.

Try a different charger. My phone charger works on mine. Otherwise, you have to replace it.

Well, I don't imagine it matters what you plug in PROVIDING it's a standard size USB connection. You could call the vendor.
