Many devices support charging from a computer USB port. This is quite convenient, since the devices do not take up extra sockets, the connection wires are suitable for many devices, and so on. Also, this charging method has its drawbacks.
Necessary
cable connecting the device to the computer
Instructions
Step 1
If the battery of your device is charging autonomously, insert it into the charger and connect it to the corresponding port of your computer. Please note that the computer must be turned on throughout the entire charging process and must not go into sleep mode, configure these parameters in the desktop properties and in the "Power supply" menu.
Step 2
If you want to charge the battery by connecting the device to a computer using a USB cable, make sure that this action is available for your device model (you can read the instructions included in the kit). This mainly applies to cameras, rare phone models, camcorders, and so on.
Step 3
In case of problems with charging devices through the USB port of the computer, check the functionality of the connectors by connecting the devices to a different port. Also, please note that the computer may restart when charging multiple devices from USB at once, as the power supply unit does not have enough power to perform the necessary operations. In this case, it is worth stopping the simultaneous charging of devices from USB and, if possible, replacing the power supply with a more powerful one.
Step 4
Also, pay attention to the additional options for connecting devices to a computer, while recharging, you can also perform operations with device files, apply various settings, and so on. If you synchronize devices, the charging time may increase.
Step 5
If your device has only a charging cable for connecting via a USB interface, and you do not have constant access to a computer, purchase a special adapter for connecting a USB cable to an outlet. This is especially convenient for owners of portable players.
