Will it charge if you use the regular device connector wire (ex; if it is connected to my phone)or does it only charge when connected to the USB wire?

It seems to charge plugged into the wall.. not the phone.... the good news is it holds an incredible amount of charge for a long time.... I use pretty regular and I haven't charged it in 3 months.

On our unit the charging light only comes on when connected to the USB wire. When connected with the headphone connector have not seen the charging indicator come on.

It works while it's plugged in. I believe it charges - just slower - while it's being used. My unit currently is almost fully charged. Make sure you plug it in AFTER you have made a connection. Mine did not connect unless the charger cable was out. If it's plugged in when you turn it on, it will only charge.

It will charge via USB. If you have something to plug the USB cable into (the other end is micro-USB, which plugs into the device) then you are set.

This product worked fine for me... I just plugged my standard USB charging wire into the adapter and the phone showed that was getting a charge. If yours doesn't check to make sure that all the electrical connections are tight all the way back to the battery.

I'm not sure cause I usually have it plugged into my car via usb2.0. So its always being charged

I charge it with the usb. It doesn't last long. I am going to return it. Doesn't really work good if needed while out.

You will use the phone charger it has an USB cord. It operates the same way your phone does the small plug you utilize to charge the charger.

The cable that the battery comes with is used to charge the battery, NOT to attach to your phone (though some people can use the same cable). It has a separate USB port that is used to charge your phone - you use the USB cable that you already have to connect to the output port.

It comes with a mini-usb cable that is used to charge the device. So you might be able to use that if your phone uses a min-usb charger. If you have an Iphone, your regular phone charge cable will work with the device.

I do not own either, but I see no reason why any USB device couldn't be charged using this device. It works on my tablet, phone, e-cigs, and MP3 player. To charge my phone the phone has to be off (otherwise it tries to boot from the USB). That applies to the tablet, as well. If your charging cable ends in an USB it will likely charge. If you have difficulty charging, try turning it off. I've found that it will fully charge my tablet once OR charge all my other devices (2 e-cigs 1300's, phone and MP3 player) once.

Just like you would charge any other electronic device. But it doesn't come with a wall plug adapter. But if you have a regular smart phone wall plug, that should work or use the cord it comes with and charge either it with that via computer or get a wall usb adapter.

I agree with David, that it should charge it, but every unit is different. The GPS output may be greater than the supplied charging input, so it may not charge as fast, but will charge, just like if you are using GPS on your phone and charging it at the same time.

USB charging only. There is a short cable that goes between the mount and the phone. There is a second long cable from the mount to the 12VDC plug charger. It is not a slick setup but did work.

I haven't tried the USB charge, so I don't know about that. It is NOT very fast charging, though. In my experience it always takes longer than using the regular phone charger. Also it never charges to 100%.

It utilizes the 30-pin to charge it. I leave mine on the charger all the time and I never remove it.

Yes it's only charging won't affect anything else...I've used it while driving & using my gps. works great!

Mine charges fine with the standard charger issued with my phone. Everything has been so far so good and I have had mine for several months now.
