I have an Aura HD but I assume they are similar. I can charge it from a USB port on my computer until the computer goes into sleep so rather then fiddle with the power settings I just plugged it into one of the white Amazon Kindle chargers.

Since it seemed to be stalled at 90% I plugged it into a USB port on a surge protector. This time it notified me it was connected to a computer. When I cancelled that it read: 85% charged. It charged up to 100% in about 1.5 hours.

I had noticed that it seemed to be draining the battery too fast so I'm waiting to see if it lasts better now. I don't know if the Amazon charger was defective or why it would charge quickly to 90% or 85% or whatever it really was.
