Does this trickle charge once your phone's battery is full, or continue charging at full speed the entire time?

It will charge as long as your phone asks for a charge.. That said, your phone should be smart enough to stop asking for a charge once it's full.. I believe they all do..

I refresh at every charge. All it does is drain the battery all the way before it charges. And that is the best way to make batteries last. But there's nothing wrong with just charging up if you need them quickly

on charging - the phone battery is priority, so the device charges the phone first then itself. You don't need to drain the phone fist - in fact you can turn on the extended battery and it will continually charge the phone until it depletes itself. I've been using for months and no damage to the actual iPhone battery at all.

Hi Unfortunately, chargers never actually turn off. I think the control is predominantly with the phone. All chargers should enter trickle charge mode as it approaches 100. The phone is typically programmed to enter into that charge state at 95% or so where that last 5% will take a little bit longer to hit 100%.

It does not have an on/off timer but will move to a trickle charge when the batteries are full.

Yes! You have full use and functionality of the URGE while it's charging. Love this product!

Yes to both questions, however it cycles in and out of 3 amp charge faster when full charge gets close to finished. One caveat, the charger remains in float charge testing as it goes, so it appears to never reach full charge (this appears normal but confusing at first.) I also have the SC-200 and it turns off after full charge then green light stays on and it continues to monitor the charge status but without remaining full on or in trickle mode.Hope that helps,haXor

No, it does not. It stops charging when full. I leave my phone on it all night.

Understand that your phone is still on while the battery is charging. The drain would be longer if you use the phone at the same time while you charge the phone.

This unit is not a "constant charging" design. That is what makes it a cut above the rest. It charges to full charge, and then only senses that battery's charge level. When charging is needed to bring the battery back up to full charge, it turns on again. I have had one on a stored car's battery for almost a year as I have never gotten the engine back together. Another sports car I have may sit for a week or more without it being started. It has a Battery Tender attached to its battery too when that car sits.

When the battery is fully charged it automatically switches to "trickle" mode to keep the battery topped up until you disconnect it.

It will charge up to 100% but it takes awhile. It's good for quick I don't want my phone to die charge.

The answer is yes.Your phone is designed with software that never allows a full charge technically. Batteries last much longer if they are never fully emptied or never fully charged. When you see 100% on your battery icon it is really more like 90%. The software essentially "turns off" the charging even when the phone is still plugged in (like overnight for example).

It shouldn't, it's designed to be a charger/conditioner and you should be able to leave it on 24/7, it'll microcharge enough to keep the battery at 100%. Most of these trickle chargers/conditioners are designed that way. And it says so in the description. That being said I haven't tried it 1st hand.

It charges at the same time, if you have it open. It will charge itself slow than it will charge the phone though.

The phone will charge first to 100% and then the case will charge second. So if you're in a hurry, it's faster to charge them both separately but eventually both charge when they are plugged in as a whole unit.

I don't know the specifics of trickle charging. But I use this product with two phones and they are always 100% charged in the morning.
