What is the purpose of the female port? Mine didn't really come with meaningful directions? Can I charge it up from a wall adapter/connect multiples

You can charge it via this port. It will take about an hour, but this is better since the solar panel will take forever to store a charge. The blue light indicates it is storing a charge.

I you have, say, a tablet or phone charger where you can unplug the USB cable and have the AC wall adapter seperate, you can use it to charge this device. Just take the wall adapter and plug a microUSB cable into the device and it will charge (you can use the microUSB cable that comes with e devce or use one that you use for your phone or tablet etc.)

Mine didn't come with a place to plug in an adapter, so bought a female jack from radio shack, then I drilled a hole in the side & soldered the pos. & neg. to the battery terminals. I used an old power supply that I had which was 3volts / 1000mA. I believe 2 D cell device needs 3 Volts, but I wasn't sure on the amps, so I tried itanyway. It makes the fan run more powerful than using batteries, so I think it's a bit too much, but I have had it running all night for several nights. Had it since Oct, I think .... it's been to NYC & Hawaii & still running stong! Great fan! Well worth the money.

Hi Gregory! I just asked the question of the best "proven" way to charge these batts and I'm convinced by the majority of answers is to use the USB end and keep the mAh's the same 1 thru 5, of course. It will take longer, but successful all around, as many have said and I tend to agree. Some have used, me included, a 3.7V wall charger, but I don't feel any longer. I hope that this helps and puts your mind at ease as it does mine!&#128522;

Well, the charger that I got was a USB to mini-USB cord, which I assume you could plug into whichever USB wall mount you had. This is not a terribly informed answer, but it's the best I've got.

Just like you would charge any other electronic device. But it doesn't come with a wall plug adapter. But if you have a regular smart phone wall plug, that should work or use the cord it comes with and charge either it with that via computer or get a wall usb adapter.

Yes, that's what it is supposed to do, but I have not used it yet. I just got it and charged it. I bought it because it has a regular plug rather than just a USB port.

Hmmm, from what I can gather from your question is that you need a Micro USB male-to-male connector? This cable would work, you would just have to plug your regular charging cable (Male USB to Male Micro USB) into the female side of this adapter. Then you would have micro USB Male connectors on both ends.

It is meant to be used to connect USB devices to it that's why it is female

There are 2 power sources. You can either plug in to USB or the wall for it to work.

The female port seems to be for charging the "battery" instead of the solar panel.

My charger has a male end and the connector has the female end - I don't know why the caption for this product says female. Please check directly with the vendor who is selling the item to make sure. Thank you!

I use the USB port on my laptop. I suppose you could buy use an adapter for a wall outlet if needed.

I took a quick look at the SPOT Trace specs. It looks like they use a proprietary connector but I'm not sure. If so, you could get a micro-to-USB A female adapter. Not owning a SPOT Trace, I can't make any guarantees.

You are correct. From the looks of the ports on the back you will need the male-to-male adapter. However, they are very inexpensive on Amazon. I've bought many over the years.

a usb3.0 A-male to A-Female Cable may be useful. such as http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-A-Male-A-Female-Extension-meters/dp/B00B3P15M8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1383201214&sr=8-3&keywords=usb3.0+A-male+to+A-Female+Cable
