Can the battery be charged by the USB port?

I don't know the answer to that. I have never tried it. We only use the charging cable that comes with the unit.

There is a usb port on the side of the battery. If you can charge via usb then yes. Otherwise there are only mini, micro, and apple device connectors.

The battery is charged via micro usb. If you're charging with another anker, it'll most likely be compatible, but best to check directly via anker customer service Rep.

Nope !! I've tried that ! Lol. It only charges the battery and the USB whole plug in . If you want that capability you might as well buy a portable charger. I've boughten 2x 12$ from Amazon already. Great stuff.

I suspect so. It is rechargable through a USB port, but there is no ready access to the battery, so I was not able to inspect what kind it was.

Yes, it has a USB connection to charge the battery. The problem is that it doesn't maintain the charge long enough to charge other devices.

No, the USB plug is just for connecting to a computer to download pictures. The battery comes out and goes on a charging bay. I bought a extra off brand battery and just kept one charged and alternated the two.

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 !

No, the USB charges the battery and it won't work w/o battery. Although you can work with it while charging, but it is recommended not to do so, to increase the life of your battery.
