Yes! it comes with a USB Cable that can charge most phones and you could use your own USB cable if necessary.

No, that would be a function of the unit being charged, but I'm not sure there is a danger of overcharging with phones, etc. This unit is not as strong and , therefore, as fast as your regular USB cable from a wall plug.

The phone connects via a usb so you should be able to charge it from there. I assume that if you have a usb capable plug that you can use that as well.

If there is, it's by no means accessible to the average consumer. The clear answer is no. You can charge this through its micro usb port and then have it ready to power an electronic off the (full-size) usb slot when needed on the go. If it dies, you get a new one. If that's a concern then get a better, more expensive one.

You can charge it using any charger that has a micro-USB plug, such as used by many mobile phones. This means it can also be charged via a computer's USB port and cable.

I use the wall charger from my phone. It can also be charged through the USB on a computer.

You can use any Micro USB cable. there is a small door that opens. That's where you find the charge port and microSD slot.In case you don't know a Micro USB cable is a cable that is used to charge all Android phones

If you have a mini usb port, than yes. Also if you can hook up your phone to a computer using the usb drive than that gives you a 2nd way to charge the phone.

No you can't unless you have a small usb connection attached to an electrical plugin like some phones have. Otherwise you will have to use a computer to charge it.

You can use any micro usb cable along with a computer/laptop usb port to charge the device. Nowadays most smartphones use the same micro usb connection that the speaker accepts, which means that you can use your phones charger to charge the speaker. The usb port cover shows (5V,2A), which means that the phone can support chargers rated for 2 Amps Max output. I use my tablet charger to charge my speaker.

No, not a USB. Just a regular charger. I use one from my old Samsung phone.

Two ways: using the SHARKK's USB cord, plug the regular end into a smartphone "wall-plug" converter to charge at home. Or, get a car USB converter plug for the lighter socket. Happy charging!

You can charge it by plugging it into a power source (the same as your android phone etc). Very easy to use.

No, the charger doesn't have any USB port. May be you can look for some sort of adapter.

Actually there are such things as dc-dc converters in devices.I have 5v mini/micro usb portable charger that uses a single 1.5v battery.So it can be done.I've also read that the xoom has a menu setting that allows charging via the usb lead.Also Mr Partridge needs to learn that mA means milli-amps. So usb 2 can deliver 0.5A or 500mA.Most phones try to suck out 0.8A (800mA) yes, that is why some USB ports can't charge a device as the phone makers are breaking the usb2 spec. USB3 now has a limit of 0.9A thankfully.
