No DC recharging? Can the Energizer 84020 be charged via a DC outlet, or must it be plugged into AC to recharge the unit?

Good question. I asked the manufacturer (UPG: www.upgi.com), and tech rep Elaine Kortkamp told me on 12/3/10 that the unit can only be charged via the AC connection. If you need that function, I think some of the Schumacher models have it.

The unit is charged via micro USB from an external source. (PC, AC Wall charger, etc...)I hope this helps to answer your question.

Sure, I plug it into a 12v back up battery I charge with a solar panel. But you could use an outlet.

Unit must be charged to use it . You cannot plug it in and use it. Unit charges by charger magnetically connecting to Aria in front under Gray control button. Unit is seamless and does not have any charging ports

While the JNCAir does have a auto shutoff for AC charging, it is still not recommended to keep it plugged in all the times. DEFINITELY do not do that if recharging with DC power. Recharging with DC power works, but there is no auto shutoff and the battery (and you) might get damaged if left in too long. Charging with DC is only for emergency situations. basically, just leave it plugged in about 20 minutes to a couple hours, depending on how dead the JNC is. ok, sorry I went off on a tangent..so NO, do not leave it plugged in charging at all times, only charge it if it needs to be charged

Yes, it charge on A/C current and then runs off that charge. I personally put rechargeable batteries in it just for safety backup. I use "2 of Panasonic K-KJS1MCA2BA eneloop AA NEW 2100 Cycle, Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, 2 Pack with 2 "D" Spacers " which are considerably cheaper since are actually AA housed on a D cell spacer.

If being charged by AC there is an auto shut off. If plugged into a DC power source you have to monitor the charging by eye.

Yes there is, however there isn't an automatic 'shutoff' for the DC application, so you have to monitor the charge and manually unplug the cord when fully charged.

No it is not a rechargeable item. However, I got around that problem by having rechargeable batteries. This works well for me because I work at a couple different facilities. So by not having to plug my equipment in to keep it charged the chances of my forgetting my equipment at one of the facilities is highly unlikely.

You can leave it plugged in using a usb cable with a plug in adapter at the wall, similar to a lot of devices now that charge via usb cable. Just leave it plugged in and it will operate off electricity and keep the battery charged. Be aware that on mine the water in one speaker quit "dancing". Not sure what this was related to but probably not a power issue but defective.

It looks like the batteries have to be removed to be charged (which makes me question why it's called 'rechargeable'?) The plug cord is removable and works fine - but only to power the unit directly. (as I understand it)

This unit requires either batteries are AC electrical. It does not have a rechargeable battery.

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.

It has plug-ins for DC but I don't remember it coming with an adapter. If it did, I cannot find it. I use it in the garage, so it's plugged into the AC outlets. Sorry I cannot help you.
