Charge while in phone? Can you still charge these batteries while in the phone AND can you use a standard micro-usb charger on them?

I have used a micro-usb charger to charge these batteries while still in the phone without a problem.

Yes. Just put em' in and leave them. These chargers go into "Energy Save Mode" when the battery is charged, preventing damage to the cells. They come back on only to "trickle charge" when necessary.

Hi Gregory! I just asked the question of the best "proven" way to charge these batts and I'm convinced by the majority of answers is to use the USB end and keep the mAh's the same 1 thru 5, of course. It will take longer, but successful all around, as many have said and I tend to agree. Some have used, me included, a 3.7V wall charger, but I don't feel any longer. I hope that this helps and puts your mind at ease as it does mine!&#128522;

To charge the phone, you can use any micro USB cable. But unfortunately you need to hang on to the cable it came with, in order to be able to charge the battery pack itself.

Recharge these anytime. In fact, best to NOT let these run down entirely, as these (unlike Ni-Cad) have no 'memory.' Mainly don't overcharge. These take about a 2 hour charge, and overcharging in an attempt to bring them up to full capacity cause battery 'stress.' You can get the full, more scientific answers to your questions if you Google. Also, remove from charger after charging.

Yes, these work while charging, but the indicator light will not show send/receive indications, only the charging state. Would be nice if they had separate LEDs for the two functions.

I am able to charge the batteries with my Nikon MH-25 charger but the issue I have is they don't work in my battery grip. They do work inside the camera. Strange.

When you place the phone back on the base it charges the same way the batteries that came with your initial purchase of the phone did. I wouldn't try to charge them after they die out and putting them on the base no longer charges them... for the price, they should last a few years and would need replacing....

I believe you are asking, does the battery charge while inside the phone when the phone is connected to USB power? The answer is yes. This is an identical battery to the OEM Samsung battery that came with your phone. In fact, you can charge one battery in the included charger, and connect the phone to the Anker battery charger via USB to charge the battery in your phone at the same time, all from the included Anker charger.

I think what you are asking is can you charge your phone while charging the battery. Yes as far as I know. I did this back in late August and it seems fine.

This set comes with 2 batteries and a charger that plugs straight into the wall. Your "extra" battery docks into the charger. Now, with that being said, you can still charge your phone by it's original charger OR if you have a USB cable (This set DOES NOT COME WITH A USB CABLE) you can plug the "wall charger" that is charging your extra battery up via a USB cable also instead of charging it straight into an outlet. I have used my regular USB phone charger to charge my phone with one of the batteries in it; I have used a car charger to charge it; and I have also used the charging dock that came with the batteries. All methods work fine ;-)

They use rechargeable AA batteries which you can buy anywhere. Not so for the proprietary charger. You could however buy the batteries and a AA charger separately and just change them when they need recharged.

Yes. They do work while on charge. I doubt it would do good things for the battery life though!

You charge the battery just like you charge your phone. And yes you can use your phone while it is charging.

Unfortunately, the phone cannot be charged while the pack is charging due to the immense capacity of the packs batteries. If you do plug your phone in while the pack is charging, the output will be shut down but the pack will continue to charge.

Yes you can. However, I charge each separate. Then recase them. Let the phone run down and then double click per instructions and charge. Once charged be sure to click Lenmar to stop charging. Gary

You can use any micro USB charger. You can find these just about anywhere. They are less than $10 most places.
