Feels like something is going to break when I plug in to charge. Can they be charged via USB instead?

Yes, funny thing is I did know that until last night! I plugged it in to get the model number and the virtual battery came up green and was sliding up then down like it was charging. I don't know how well it charges with the USB because my tablet is actually not powering on at the moment. The kids broke the power button, however Tablet Express is sending me a replacement tablet so I am not complaining.

Yes, it can be charged with the USB, but know that the power button is very flimsy, and breaks very easily. The customer support sucks, as does their willingness to fix broken tablets with warranty protection in place.

I had the same problem, had to return for another dock...only way to charge them.

I've tried charging mine with normal microUSB because I thought I'd gotten a bad AC adapter and the normal microUSB's won't register as charging and didn't seem to raise the power at all. Luckily for me, it turned out the AC adapter just has an odd proprietary plug that needed to be pushed slightly harder to click into place the first time, so I'm able to charge, but yeah, it was a bit of a disappointment to realize that it can't charge off of the same USB stuff all my other electronics use.

You can do both. I usually charge them, when not using them, in the off position. When I am using them for long periods of time and I notice they are starting to die I will plug them in. Either way is fine though.

Don't know. They are there to recharge phones, tablets, or whatever else you need charged. Haven't had any problems with the USB ports.

Pinhole clicks on or off...insert pin until you hear a click or light turns on if it's charged...what they said could be defective as they are cheaply made IMO

Unfortunately they cannot. As soon as the charger is plugged in they disconnect and go into a standby mode type thing.

Ask the seller for sure, but they were included with a usb charging cord on the one I bought.

You can charge them through the Samsung charger as well. Avoid using it through computer USB though. On the first initial charge, use the travel charger to 100% and its ready for use in your phone and subsequent charges are okay thereafter with the Samsung stuff.

I don't know not happy with mine as I can seem to get them to take a charge.

Mine have always worked. Make sure the outlet you're plugging into has the correct voltage and that the indicator light is solid. I thought mine wasn't charging once but the outlet (GFCI) had tripped! Sorry I'm not more help.

i think the major problem will be with having the correct plug for charging. i purchased an international set from apple. also, check your data plan.

Did you stick the charger to it? They're magnetic, so i think they have to be in contact while charging. If you did, then you just might have a defective product.

Try using the USB cord and plug it into a computer it will charge that way too

i've plugged them into the wall brick and they charged fine. although some of them didn't work at all, just fyi. but for $10 and all but maybe 2 or 3 not working, i call it a win.

i have bad experience using them, honestly. After one usage, it could not charge.

you charge it via the USB - which i think you are probably clear on... but if the internal rechargeable batteries ultimately fail, then i believe it is time for a new speaker... i do not believe you can replace them.j
