The item is made in China.

Hello Enios The lamp is charged with a special plug (you can see this on the packaging in the 2nd picture) the other end is USB Type A. At least that is the case with my product. At least that is the case with my product, I bought it about 1.5 years ago.

Our one doesn't rattle. It does have a quiet but high-pitched hum sometimes.

When the battery is full, the light runs at dimmer level for 3 days. The lamp doesn't have a timer in it, it just runs through. We love this lamp because it is dimmable.
