It isn't an external battery. You put the battery in the laptop and connect the laptop power cable.

Hi AlbertThe power cable needs to be plugged in to charge the battery. After the battery is fully charged, remove the cable and use your macbook normally. When the charge is down to 10% plug the power cable again and recharge. Do this 3 times to condition the battery. After that your battery should be good to go!Goodluck.n.

@Norman S. Thank you for your answer.The battery is the same as OEM battery, you can charge the battery same as how to use your OEM one.

Yes, put the battery in the laptop and plug in the laptop to an electrical outlet. Laptop does not have to be on for the battery to charge.

I charge it by flipping out the USB plug and plugging it into the side of my laptop, or into your usb port in your computer. Hope this helps:)

I'm not 100% sure I understand. It has a dedicated power cord. It will charge a battery in about two hours in my experience.

I assume you have it installed in your laptop. Just plug your laptop into the wall using your A/C adaptor that came with your computer. Charges the same as your original battery and should give you 4 - 6 hours of continuous use before needing recharged.

The vehicle power cord does charge the battery. You can also charge the unit when you plug it into your computer via the USB connector, which can also allow you to download and update your map library. While connected to your computer, the unit will charge.

The battery is built in. Plug the cord in to charge. Once charged can use without the cord. You can also use while its charging with the cord plugged in

Mine came with a power cord to use it plugged in, but considering how fast in are thru batteries, I opted to buy the chargeable battery pack

Are you positive it is the cord and not the battery? A dead battery will not charge. If you're certain it's the cord, contact the manufacturer on the warranty and tell them what happened. I have had this cord for a couple of months and so far, no problems. It might just be your cord is defective. If you're not sure it's not the battery, you can tell by the little battery icon in the task menu tray on the bottom right of the screen when the cord is plugged in. If there is a plug next to it but it's not charging, it's likely your battery needs to be replaced. Also, make sure the cord is fully connected at every juncture. My cord tends to slip out of the outlet sometimes and the connection to the power box loosens sometimes. Another thing to look for is the green light on the power box. If that is on when it is plugged in, the cord is still getting power. If that's off, it's dead. If you want the cord "asap", you will have to order another one. Not likely the manufacturer will act quickly. They aren't expensive. You might end up spending just as much in shipping costs. If the battery is the problem, they sell the battery on Amazon too. Just turn off your computer and remove the battery. The model number on the battery should be there. Just type it into the search window on Amazon and it will come up. I bought both within the last 9 months. One more thing. Make absolutely sure the cord you are using is for your computer. If you still have it, check the model number on the cord that came with the computer. Type it into the Amazon search window. I was using the wrong power cord for a while and it died and I got this one because it was the exact model number of the one that came with my laptop.

Hi Jenny B.,The battery is inside the mower housing and can ONLY be charged in the mower.There is a cord that plugs into a power outlet on one end, and into the mower at the other end.BTW, I hope you read my review on this mower: it's terrible!! (Got rid of mine.)Let me know if you have any questions....I'd talk you out of getting one.

The charger has a built-in plug in the back of the charger, just like the one that came with the camera - no cord needed. You just place the battery in the charger and plug the charger to the wall and it charges. If you, instead, mean the cord to connect your camera to the computer to upload the pictures, then the answer is no.

You can plug the the cord provided into a USB plug and then charge from there. I am also able to plug it into my laptop to charge it :)

Depending on who or where you buy this from, the unit should come with a power cord - this cord plugs into the back of the video camera and charges the battery thats in the unit. For best results, buy extra and larger batteries and replace the stock battery that came with the unit. This battery usually doesn't last as long as a new and larger battery. I was able to find new and longer lasting batteries on ebay and Amazon websites.

you don't. install it, then plug in the power cable. don't turn on the laptop if you want to charge the battery 1st.

There is a small plastic plug that has to be stuck into the side of the battery. It's a place where one could attach a power cord when the battery isn't charged enough. The plastic plug is in parts envelope.

You need to charge it just as if it were a phone. There are three ends to the power cord the small rectangle goes into the speaker and the larger rectange in your power charger connected to an outlet. hope this helps
