Can this charge by battery and if so, what kind?

This MP3 can only be charged by plugging into a computer with the supplied adapter.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking but here's the best information I have about batteries and power. There is no built in battery in this unit. It requires 1 AAA battery and it cannot charge rechargeable batteries. A battery is not required to put music on the MP3 player from the computer but is required to listen to any music that is stored on it. Hope this helps.

It's not battery charging style, it gets power once it's cord has been plugged into socket. To make it works properly, please make sure you hold it in a right way. You can google instructions for details. Good luck!

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.

It charges an internal battery by usb port, so not that I know of ... however, at over 2 hours of battery life, you can take a pretty long trip with it.

No. Just connect it directly to the battery. It works great for me. The battery is always filly charged.

Comes with a cable to connect to a computer through USB. The battery will be charged in this way, but there is no separate charger. I suppose any USB charger could do.

Grannie: Yes, you can purchase an external battery charger that plugs into the wall socket and shows you when the battery is fully charged... As Drew mentioned, it works best if you have two batteries. Hope this helps.

Yes. It will charge either via a compatibile USB charging plug or by using a standard micro USB cable. The charging speed depends on the output amperage of the plug. Best charging is at 5V / 2A

It will charge via USB. If you have something to plug the USB cable into (the other end is micro-USB, which plugs into the device) then you are set.

I charge it via my computer or eletricity. I do not know about battery, I think there is no battery attached to it. You are supposed to charge using your computer (USB port) or plugging in the eletrical socket.

NO...this is a battery charger. You will need to dismount the battery and take it to a location where this is power for the charger to do its job.

No - It charges via the supplied USB cable that can plugged into a USB port on a computer or a USB charger.

It can charge batteries. There is an included AA and AAA charger. But it is cheeply made. They charge from the 12 volt rail. You can go online and find multiple 12v battery chargers for what ever you need.

You can use any Micro USB cable to charge the battery you can have that here... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_10?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=micro%20usb%20cable&sprefix;=micro+usb+%2Caps%2C275&rh;=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amicro%20usb%20cable

Yes - it has a USB port, so should charge any device that charges through a USB cable.

Yes, you can. It charges through any Usb charger. However, make sure that it provides 2 amps (i.e., an ipad charger)

It uses a micro-USB port to charge... so I have been able to use any number of different micro-USB chargers... If you want me to measure the current required post a response.
