LG cellphones use a rechargeable battery stored in the battery compartment on the back of the phone. When the battery runs low or is drained, you need to recharge the battery to continue using the phone. LG designs their cellphones to charge with several types of chargers. Some methods are supplied with the phones; other charger options are sold separately.
AC Adapter
The standard method for charging an LG cellphone is the AC adapter, which is supplied with the phone. The mini-USB end of the AC adapter is plugged into the USB port on your phone, and the other end of the adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet. Some models come with an AC adapter that doesn't have a cord. To use this type of adapter, plug the mini-USB end of the supplied USB data cord into the phone, and the standard-size end of the cable into the USB port on the AC adapter. Once set up, plug the adapter into an electrical outlet.
Computer
The USB cord supplied with your LG cellphone allows for computer connectivity so that you can transfer files to and from your phone. You can also use the computer to charge your phone. Plug the mini-USB end of the supplied data cable into the port on your phone, and then plug the opposite end into a USB port on your computer. Only use high-power USB ports on your computer to charge your phone, such as the ones found on the computer tower.
Docking Stations
Some LG phone models are compatible with docking stations, which allow you to connect the phone to other devices, such as a television or computer, to watch media or transfer files. Most docking stations also charge your phone. Docking stations are not supplied with the phone, but are available online and at electronics stores. Only purchase docking stations that were tested to work with your phone model.
Car
Car chargers allow you to charge your phone while driving in your car. The mini-USB end of car chargers, which are sold separately, plug into the USB port on the phone. The larger end of the charger plugs into a 12v receptacle in your car, also known as cigarette lighters. Depending on your vehicle, you may need to turn on your car to charge your phone when using a car charger.
Considerations
The amount of battery life you get between charges is different for each phone and affected by many factors, including time using the phone and the number of background applications you have running. When charging the phone, you should always fully charge the battery. You can tell that a battery is fully charged when the phone's indicator light turns green or when the on-screen battery indicator is full of bars.
