Cradle won't charge second battery

[creed]

I recently acquired a second battery for my alpine. It works fine, but when I inserted it into the battery charging slot on my cradle (connected via USB) it didn't charge. I'm thinking perhaps it cannot be done using just a USB connection and I need to plug in the DC adapter, or I have missed some setting in Active Sync. Also the aux battery LED on the cradle fails to illuminate, in fact I have never seen it illuminated.

Any information or ideas would be appreciated.

If you charge the second battery on the slot, you will have to plug in the DC adapter. It will not charge by USB.

Thank you. Now where did I leave that adapter.....? :(

hello
ok so i understand that i need the adaptor to charge the aux bat in the cradle. i found my to do so but thought it was faulty. thank you for clearing that up for me. my problem now is that if i plug in the adaptor without a usb connection my phone does not charge if i put it on the cradle. the phone slot only works with usb and the aux only works of the adaptor. so i bought one of those 22 pin connections that plugs into the phoneslot and then the adaptor plugs into that and still no joy. i cannot charge the phone with either the cradle's primary slot on ac or with the 22pin conn on ac. and yes i have checked the ac adaptor and it seems to work fine. any help would be appreciated

thank you
