ok... I have one of those also...

This is only charges via a usb cable with an ac adapter...

In my experience, it does not charge properly unless you use the ac adapter that came with it, although it might be possible to find compatible adaptors...

Mine will not charge correctly using my samsung adaptors.

Assuming you use a compatible adapter, it should be on to leave it plugged in while using it. You might want to watch the temp though... these tablets dont have active cooling so they can get extremely hot very fast when playing video or gaming...

ok so as long as i use the charger that came with it and watch the temp it should be ok. i do have a adapter that says it 5.0 to 5.5 v would this work to charge in car?

I doubt it.... check the amperage....

This tablet seems to be very picky about its power input... I suspect the software disables the charging circuit if the input is out of range.

ok i will i was looking at the wall adapter its 5.0 v 1.5 amp so i will see if the one i have is 1.5 amp if so it should work theoretically, just looking for options for my daughter when we go on trips so we can charge it.

You might have luck finding some perfect matches for cheap on amazon... I havent looked for any for this model, but have gotten replacements for other models for under $10.

Probably.... havent used mine that much yet though... might shorten your battery life (as with any battery device)... check to make sure it doesnt get hot just from being lwft plugged in.
