I just got this and it did not have instructions. How do you recharge it? It came with 5 extra tips but no AC adapter...How do I recharge it?

Between the 2 USB ports is a micro connector that plugs into the external battery with a USB connector on the other end . You just plug that into any USB port and charge the external battery. Easy !

Well, just bought a pair at about 50% off for what they are sold for on Sony's site. You can get an additional ac charger (or replacement) for $20 at Radio Shack. I got one and it works fabulously. It's called Enercell 3VDC and includes your choice of a tip. Part Number 273-312.

Read the manul. It says the unit does not come with a power cord and to use a standard extension cord to charge it. Plug the extension cord into the AC outlet in the back of the unit.

There is no AC adapter. It's battery operated by D batteries. I only activate it when I'm going to be away for one night or more (about once a week) but I'm still on the original battery for 6 months now.

The one I got came with a charger. It's a mini USB. You plug the charger into u r standard outlet. Then take the male end of the charger. And plug it into the tablet. Then wait until fully charged....

First plug the included micro USB cable into the micro USB port. Then plug the standard USB side into either an approved AC USB charger adapter or into your computer. When you plug it in it will illuminate red at one end and I believe it will turn to blue or green illumination when the unit is fully charged (would suggest charging for several hours or over night on the first charge, but that is my preference). When charged, remove the micro USB cable and then use your device's standard charging cable and plug it into the FULL SIZED USB port next to the micro port you used to charge the battery pack with, but remember this is only good for smaller devices such as phones, iPods and MP3 players. This battery pack does not have enough amperage to charge a larger device like an iPad. My wife uses it regularly and she is able to charge her 4s usually 2 time per battery pack charge.. Hope this helps..

Book says to clean the cell did you do that? Also says then check DC Cord.So I think you should inspect the cell, you actually need to get a kit to clean it which allows you to plug the two adjacent ports while filling with acid solution. I have tried at home depot with misc parts and also with tennis balls to get around ordering this kit, but they are custom size/thread plugs, so it leaks without the kit. I didn't submerge the whole thing in a bucket, didn't want the outside getting soaked with acid. Inspect it, also fiddle with the DC plug and make sure it is seated well.

You shouldn't need an AC adapter, it has a cord that draws power from the USB port included. If you want to power it with a separate power source, you would need to use one that has a USB plug on it. USB is a standard 5 volt DC, although the milliamps will vary.

It comes with the AC adapter, which powers the unit and charges its internal battery. The instructions recommend that you primarily use the amp on battery power, and only plug it in to charge it (to extend battery life); however, you can use the amp on AC power as well.

I forgot to comment on the doc. You can't without an adapter. I have a thin incase and I have to take the bottom off to charge it. You will either need an adapter (which I haven't found for the lightning connector?) or use the secondary USB charged on the back. Kind of a pain.

It doesn't come with AC adapter. It requires (4 )AAA batteries (included) .thank you.

I am a little confused because I read that the only way to charge it is through USB. Does it come with any sort of wall charger or any adapter to plug the charger with that mini plug into the usb port?

There are two ways to charge up your battery pack. One way (slower) is to use a USB cable from your computer to the battery pack (computer has to be on). The best way is to get s USB to Mini cable and an AC adapter that plugs into an outlet and has a USB opening. Listen if you go to Amazon.com lookup the Battery Pack you will see "other items purchased" that adapter I mentioned will be listed. Good luck

Make sure you're charging it with the ac adapter that came with it. It won't charge thru the mini USB port.

Hello. There is no AC adaptor. The device requires 2 AA batts. It has brought me huge peace of mind. I highly recommend this. Getting Mom to use it, is a whole other issue. :) Good Luck!

It recharged from a usb, which could be your computer or other power source. I also use a cell phone charger. It comes only with the usb cable and not an AC charger.

Count me as wondering as well--I'm not going to buy it if it doesn't come with AC adaptor. The picture that someone posted shows it with one, or at least that's what it looks like to me.
