Have done it many times.......no adapter required. But will take about twice as long.

I have a joye510 charger in front of me, the threads are inset into the charging apparatus, how do you get the threads of the ego to go into the charger to make a connection. There is no way to get the battery into that hole without an adapter. Please let us know which 510 charger you are using.

What I would like is an eGo USB charger that actually works. The two I got so far, don't. So for me the only option is the 510 charger - but luckily it's fine, with the adapter. Doesn't really matter how long it takes if you have enough batts. If you're worrying about the time it takes, maybe you need another battery?

Do you think it's the chargers or could it be the USB port. My USB charger will charge from my desktop but not from my notebook computer's usb port.

Same experience here, about half of my eGo's won't charge from the 'puter - but work fine on the wall supply.
Gotta love 20% tolerances . . . . . .

I might be mistaken but I remember there is a way to set the max power to a USB port in XP sp3. I'll look around and see if that might be the cause.
