can it be charged by usb? my car lighter doesnt work....

Yes...you can plug the USB end into any charger and it should work. I used it both in my wall socket and my laptop and it charged with no problem.

I have never had to charge mine and I've been using it for six or seven months. I just leave it on the visor it turns off when my phone leaves the car. You can use a usb to charge it though. Best deal I ever got.

Mine doesn't work with the car charger either. I assumed the battery was dead. How inconvienent if one has to charge it in the house if one travels a lot. Also It only lasts for a month and I don't use it much. Also it shuts off after ten minutes out of the car which is inconvienent because there is no way to tell if it is on when you get back in.Very good sound however and otherwise I like it.

I believe you can charge this through the cig. lighter as long as your vehicle is running, otherwise you wld charge through 110 wall socket.

There are several options to charging a USB device other than a computer. Many stores carry car adapters that plug into your car's power point and converts it to 5V USB. There are also home devices that do the same.

If your car has a cigarette lighter and you battery is chargeable, I don't see why it shouldn't work. Mine gets plugged in 4 months at a time sometime.

Mine came with a USB cable and a "cigarette lighter" plug the cable plugs into for car use. Perhaps is was not put in the box at time of manufacture.

No, it plugs into a USB port, so if you have one in your car or have a USB cigarette lighter adapter you can use it.

You can charge through the USB or wall charger. The wall charger shows the output as DC 5v - 2A, with a small plug. You might be able to find a direct car charger but using a USB car plug should do fine.

Yes you can use your car charger to charge the unit, however, it will take a lot longer to charge than if you were to use an adapter and an outlet.

Yes. What's even better is you can get a $10 power converter that will convert that cigarette lighter into a usb power station, and you can now use this device in your car.

I don't know but try getting a regular car charger one where u can remove the phone part to charge the phone and then u can plug in the USB part

i realize i'm answering an old question but if you have a working cigarette lighter in your car, you could get a solar charger that sits on your dash, and plugs into the lighter to charge up the battery. Or it seems you could anyway.

Hi Bryan,So your car does not have a cigarette lighter socket? Whoops! Unfortunately I am not familiar with what new cars have and have not with regards to a 12V DC output. The item that you have bought requires either a USB or a cigarette lighter type connector. I guess that I would ask your car guy if you have such an output connector in the car or can one be installed. I have not heard of this before. Good luck.r

I don't think a laptop can be charged via USB. But if there is such a laptop, please check its manual for the power input needed to charge it. If it is greater than 2.1A SuperCharger will not be able to charge it.

Can I use the car cigar lighter outlet to charge this? I have to purchase a "cigar to cigar" cable I suppose?

It can be charged from an outlet BUT it does not come with the necessary equipment to do that. You must buy a special electrical plug into which you can put the end of the cord that would normally go in the USB port. Unfortunately, it costs about $15. Can't buy from the mfgr, as this model has been discontinued.

To use this plug you need to conect first direct on batery of the car. So you can use as actual lighter

Yes, it charges from your cars cigarette lighter port... I used aligator clips to charge from another 12 volt source... if you do try that make sure you dont hook it up wackwards (like I did)...luckily I only blew the fuse in the charger.
