I've never done that, but I think it says on the manual NOT to plug it in, and charge at the same time.

It is usually not a good idea. You can't control how much input power goes to the charger and how much goes to your device. So initially the charger will charge the powergen, but you won't be able to use your device. At some point in the powergen charging cycle, it may switch over so that you can use the device but the powergen charging will basically stop.

hello if you would like to know which are good recommendations of charge for the first time, buy one because I'm doing the devoluvion since the device does not grab full charge, and I raises questions when making a new purchase

If you fully charge a smartphone, then completely drain said smartphone of power, then recharge the smartphone...that is charging the smartphone twice. Or, if you rather, charge two smartphones if you happen to have two. This unit, when fully charged, holds enough power in the internal battery to do that without having to recharge it. Once the internal battery of this unit is drained, you can recharge it and repeat the process as many times and as often as you wish. Does that answer your question?

Your question was when plugged in...in computer would it charge the phone?Hmmmm...okay honestly I really dont like to assume plus your question is a bit unclear but if I had to assume I believe you are referring to the Dock...plugging the Dock into the computer...and if so will it charge the phone...just to clarify! After testing the theory myself I can definitively say No It Will Not Charge the Phone!Using a data cable or a micro USB plug for your phone....you can actually plug the Dock into your Computer or Personal PC or even your Laptop....but all 3 results just will not charge your phone....I hope this helps!

It could be charged when charging another device. However, it's not suggested, because this will greatly reduce the useful life of the battery pack. Since you have access to a plug, why don't you charge the other device directly?

I see this as 2 questions : 1) how many times can you charge before having to recharge the remote charger - well that is purely a matter of from which state you charge from - I myself has charged more than 10 times before charging the remote charger again, however if the phone is totally down each time you charge it's another matter - then maybe two to three times before charging the remote charger again. 2) When is the battery totally dead and you have to buy a new charger - this is a matter of where you contain the charger on a daily basis (a cool place is better than directly in the sun) and again a matter of from which state you charge from, so it is in fact impossible to say,however, I have had my own for a year now, and it is still functioning. When this is said, then it is not necessary to buy a new charger if you use one with a replaceable battery as for example our stainless steel charger, which also have a larger capacity than the one in question - try to look after ASIN B00I01P196 in the amazon store.

It is rechargeable and depending on device you will be to charge 2 devices before having to recharge the battery. As far as using the phone while charging you should be able to, should be no different than having it plugged into a regular charger.

It charges in both positions, on or off. :-) If it is totally dead, it is best to charge it for a few minutes in the off position. Especially if you want to charge and play it at the same time.

Mine was working great after few hours charging. After a year and half, it did not charge like yours. I used to buy used one and used every week, so I gues it died. I used for long and good. But if it is new, then you need refund it

I'm changing my answer. The answer is YES! Mine is charging now after I put the power switch in the correct position. Sorry for previous response.

If a device requires 2 amps to charge, but you only supply 1 amp, it will not charge, and it, the device will strain the charger, possibly damaging it. This is dependent on the battery type, charging circuit etc.It's best to have more available current than needed.

Depends. If the device is powered off it will almost always charge (slowly). If it's turned on it might either charge *very* slowly, or not at all, or even still lose charge if you're actually using the device. (You'll see the latter with high-end phones or tablets if you are running a 3D-rendered game -- the device will be using more power than any USB charger can safely deliver, so the battery will slowly drain even if it's plugged in. With a crappy charger this can happen even if the device isn't doing much.)

I've never tried that, But I would think it would work like other devices with two outputs, like my Ipad will charge when I plug it into my computer. I would think the charger would work the same way. It's a great charger I couldn't get along without it now.

My RAVPower will NOT charge while it is also being charged. I had to make a special cable to test this when I noticed it. The output voltage drops from 5V to 4V, and the output current goes to zero, or very low. Because a voltage is still present many devices think they are still being charged, but in fact they are not.

Dear Sir or Madam, Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, you can charge the power bank and use the power bank to charge other device at the same time. Thanks. Best regards. EasyAcc Support Team Apr 24, 2014 by EasyAcc

Just a couple of guesses. I have two chargers - one never worked - thought it was the battery, but the batteries work when charged on the charger that works. Somewhere in their info I read that the batteries shouldn't be drained down to zero - has that happened?

When you plug the phone into the battery it will appear a message saying that the device is not compatible. But once I plug it, it works perfect. It gives me a complete battery charge. I have never tested if it can give me a second charge.
