Yes (but you will obviously need an adapter).
While I haven't tested it thoroughly, it would appear so. (The device, at least, states "Not Charging" but the percentage did go up after a few minutes.)
Also note that the microUSB cable for the charger is special. In other words, the Nook Color charger won't fast charge with a standard cable (but it appears to slow charge).
The device will also slow charge when connected to a computer.
One of the engineers stated that the nook color will not charge when plugged in to a slow charge solution under heavy use (but at least the battery wouldn't drain).
(Note that these hoops are to deal with the fact that the fast charger provides 1.9 amps (at 5V) and there isn't, as far as I know, a standard for pushing that kind of power across a microUSB connector.) |
Just to expand on this a little, my experience was that the nookcolor would charge off a USB as long as the screen was off. Mine had about 50% showing on the battery when I left it plugged into my laptop and fell asleep, when I woke up it had a full charge. I also found that when the LCD is on the color will not charge, but the battery takes much longer to drain. Watching a video for 30 minutes took 5-6% of the battery when it was unplugged, only 1% when it was on USB. These seemed to hold true even when I was using a generic microUSB cable and not the nook specific one.
