No, you cannot charge the battery in the camera via the USB port. You need to use the LI-40C or LI-41C charger or equivalent.
One source for a replacement charger (along with a battery and a camera case) is http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/rooCASE-Olympus-Black-Nylon-Case-and-LI40B-42B-Battery-Kit/5285636/product.html
There are 3 possibilities to charge the battery of the camera:
1. Connecting the Olympus' USB cable to camera and computer. 2. Connecting the wall charger to the camera with Olympus' USB cable. 3. Using a specific separate wall charger for LI-50B batteries.
Be sure to connect the cable well and if the orange LED does not light when trying to charge the battery using above points 1 and 2, there might want to exchange the Olympus' USB cable first to check what's wrong. (Cable model: CB-USB6). Another point is to check if the battery is seated well in the camera.
No. The camera does not incorporate any charging circuitry. You have to use the supplied battery charger to charge the battery. The USB cable is strictly for transferring pictures and videos to the computer.
Very few cameras will charge through USB ports. This is only to connect to computer to access pictures. Your camera will not charge via USB. I suggest to many people that using cameras that take AA batteries is the best cameras to buy when traveling. Many camera owner fall victim to different voltage outlets when travelling.
The AC adapter is only used as an alternate power source for the camera. It is not intended to charge the battery for the camera in any way. In order to charge the camera's lithium battery you will need the charger that is designed for that battery.
Usually the usb cable only provides the data signals to it. If you are using a 4 pin usb cable then the power isn't going to the cable and it won't charge it.
