can I charge this power bank anytime possible or should I wait until it drain to 0% to recharge it?

I charge mine regularly about 3 to 4 times and then I let it drain down completely and I've never had a problem yet.

I have the XROBOT 6000mAh model and have had no problems charging anytime. Every once in a while I will wait until it is drained. I use mine all the time to charge several different Samsung products.

You should be able to turn the computer on as soon as it's plugged in, but in my experience it takes about an hour to fully charge.

Yes you can. You should charge it for 10-14 hours with first charge. Then you need to completely drain and fully charge your battery at least 6 times to get the full capability out of your battery...

Yes, just be sure it is turned on. It will charge whether turned on or off.

You must charge it until all four blue batteries at the back light up blue. The battery pack switch should be OFF. Then when putting in the phone for charge, turn the switch ON. But BE WARNED, this battery pack WILL NOT EVER CHARGE YOUR PHONE FULLY. NEVER. Not past maybe 70%. DO NOT BUY THIS!!

Yes, you just plug it into an outlet to recharge it. But you cannot charge something while you are recharging.

never timed it, but usually i charge at about 50-25% available power and seems like it takes several hours--It just leave it in charger in the AM and remove later in afternoon..Sorry not exact..

Try at least one healthy charge every month, that is allow the battery to run completely down to 0%, then recharge back to 100%,allow charging to continue while on 100% for maybe 2hrs.

Yes, charge it for a few hours. After that you are good to go for at least 2 full charges and a 3rd partial charge.

Hey,This should charge from any USB charger. The light over the power button should be flashing if it's charging. And also know from testing many of these you often need to hold the power button on for several seconds before it turns on.Hope that helps ...BillWild Willie's Record Emporium

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

I go ahead and charge it. I think you have to charge it now and then even if you don't use it.

No it will not charge until i plug the usb cord to the back up battery and it will charge for a quick second before it turn off.

Yes you can. It charges when it's plugged in and I've used it for seven to eight hours and it still keeps charging.

My guess is no, but we will see if anyone answers my similar question. I cannot currently get the device to charge and discharge at the same time. I plugged it into my phone when I got it, and I think it might have drawn power FROM my phone.

I would contact Shark for the answer to that question. I unplug the charging stand until a charge is needed.

The power is charging the base. If you unplug it, I imagine it will work only until the battery runs down.
