Page 1 of the manual, (still online) shows the camera. Number 5 is the USB port to charge the camera with an USB cable connected to a computer or to a 5V external USB charger. 20 is the battery cover. One it and the battery will come out. If you have an universal battery charger, it could charge the battery to.
It is important for you to know that the specified charger that it is supposed to work with has a special method of charging it as the battery is a very delicate one. That is why it is specified that you have to use a compatible charger. When you use a universal charger, it does not charge the battery as the battery is supposed to be charged. This inflicts some minor damage on the battery and makes it impossible for the battery to work. The compatible charger has a unique spontaneous way of emitting charges into the battery and the universal charger lacks this. So when the universal charger is used, it does not emit the right amount of charge into the battery. The only way around this is if you can modify the charger or the battery in such a way that it might work. But then, you maybe damaging your camera. Instead, buy a specified charger.

You don't say what make or model the camera is, so I can only answer generally. Most cameras, as opposed to most cellphones, do not charge the battery in the camera at all. They are supplied with a separate mains charger- you take the battery out of the camera and put it in the charger. I have a number of cameras with USB connectors, and none of them charge while connected to the computer.
If you bought the camera new, and it came with a charger, then the camera almost certainly needs the charger to charge the battery. If you purchased it used or it was a hand-me-down, and you didn't get a charger, then the seller or giver has probably been remiss. It won't hurt to leave the camera connected to the computer's USB port to see if it will charge, but when that doesn't work, you can find a replacement charger for your camera by searching Amazon with the camera model number and the word "charger". Better, you can get a "universal" charger on Amazon for as little as $4 that will charge any of the small lithium batteries used in cameras and phones (assuming this isn't a huge battery of the kind fitted to older video cameras). I have a universal charger and it is easy to use and has saved me a lot of money as I no longer need to buy a replacement for every type of battery I come across.
I found chargers and batteries for this camera by searching Amazon for "polaroid t831". There are also cheap universal chargers that will charge any small camera or phone battery, like THIS ONE
Its not recommended to charge the Reader using any third party battery charger. Its alweays recommended to use the AC-S5220E AC Adaptor or the supplied USB cable to charge the Reader. If you use any third party Battery charger the Reader may be damaged. Please dont use those things.
All the Best!
hi i had the problem before , you have to buy dell charger in order to charge your battery, universal charger doesnot work with this, the only way not to lose your power is to keep the charger connected, in this way the battery will not be charged but u will not lose the power. again you need dell charger the universal only gives power but doesnot charge.
Best Regards
the issue is with the wall usb ac adapter just replace it (with a better quality one) and it should work, you can also charge the phone using your computer. Well... this fix worked for me.
