As far as I know it uses the same wall mount battery charger design as the earlier models. The BMB9 rechargeable battery is included along with the charger. You don't need to buy a battery unless you want a spare.

Camera includes a rechargeable battery and a USB cable. Do not know the model number, but plugs into the computer and charges just fine.

Use the included proprietary 8-pin USB. A wall-charging attachment will charge the battery much faster than plugging the camera into your computer.

The battery is charged when you connect to your computer with USB or it has a 110 adapter so you can plug your camera in. It doesn't have a separate battery charger.

The battery is rechargeable, but it comes with a wall charger where it sits in it. It's not USB Chargeable. It's good to buy an extra battery. Not that expensive. I have this camera and it works very well.

It just comes with the battery, some cables to charge and hook up the camera to your computer as well as a camera strap. I personally do not think this camera is very user friendly. It is difficult to switch from the video to camera mode and so you tend to miss moments/shots.

NO. The battery can remain in the camera at all times. (Cord #1)AC plug to adapter with USB... then (cord #2) USB to mini USB on camera. If you just plug the USB into a PC (cord #2), the battery will charge. I recommend charging with the AC unit initially.

Yes, just plug charger into wall and plug cable into the small USB port on the camera and the battery will charge. And to clarify, it should also be picking up a charge by plugging the cable into any laptop or desktop, since almost all USB ports transmit power as well as data.

Not sure about charging but I would not recommend this camera to anyone! Very unhappy broke in less than 6 months.

The battery is rechargeable. The battery recharges in the camera, it comes with the cord to do that with. It does come with a computer cord. I bought a kit with 2 extra batteries and a wall charger(charges batteries out of the camera) from amazon for less than $20.

Camera comes with a USB cord and an outlet plug so camera can be charged from computer or outlet. No card is included. Camera has exceeded expectations. Highly recommend

Comes with a charger-just plug it in to the camera, then to the computer, and it charges fairly quickly...lasts quite awhile also!

The camera comes with a charger that plugs into the USB port of your computer OR has a plug adaptor with it. It does need a full charge when it arrives (mine had just a tiny amount of charge on it).

Yes. You leave the battery in the camera to charge it. You can either plug it into your computer or wall outlet. I've found that it holds a decent charge, and doesn't take more than about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to recharge. My initial charge may have been closer to 3 hours.

I believe the battery is hard wired into the camera. If you can not get it to charge, its time to replace the camera

You can use computer's usb to charge the camera. In this case, you do not need a converter.
