Is this product only a charger or, can you use it immediately with the iPhone 5 if the internal battery goes dead?

This works just like plugging the phone into the wall only way more portable. It will charge the phone while you are using it. I can take my iPhone 5 down to completely dead & this battery will give just a little more than a 100% full charge from empty. So in effect, it gives you double the battery life of the phone itself.

The product is a battery itself and will charge the iPhone without needing a plug provided it has been previously charged itself. I carry mine around with me and recharge it after use or evey few weeks to keep it ready when needed.

You press a button, 5 LED lights turn for a few seconds, and the battery starts charging the iPhone. It keeps charging until it reaches 100%. Then it disconnects itself.

Yes, it does charge an iPhone 5, 4S and various iPods we have but only when plugged in to power, not when running on batteries only. Although I never used it to fully charge an iPhone so I don't know whether it's significantly slower or faster than the stock charger.

It's a Bluetooth device so you can listen to tunes from any Bluetooth enabled device. That includes the iPhone 5. Just beware of the extremely short (under 20 minutes) battery life between recharge.

The cord it comes with is for charging the external battery. I have a iPhone 5s that uses a lightning cable you have to use your own. � hope that helps.

I don't have an iPhone 5 but I have an iPad mini which uses the same lightning to USB cable. It charges the mini in both the 2.1 and 1.0 amp ports. It should charge the iPhone 5 as well. Plus in the 2.1 port you'll find that it charges very quickly.

It works great with my iphone 5. You will need to provide your own USB Lightning charging cable. Only 30 pin and micro USB charging adapters are provided.

I charge it using my Moto X charger. So, I will assume you could use an iPhone charger also. Perhaps someone have used an iPhone charge, but I don't own an iPhone so I cannot confirm that it will work.

It charges via mini USB, however, I wouldn't waste my time with this one if I were you. It worked to charge my iPhone the first time I used it, but after that point, I could fully charge the case, however, the iPhone would not recognize it when connected.

It has 4 full charges until you need to charge it again (but it does die if not charged in a week or so just like your phone or laptop would even if you're not using them) and yes it charges an iphone 5

For the iPhone 5 I use a standard Apple USB to Lightning connector, which adds just under 1" to the length of my iPhone. From 5% battery to full on the iPhone I got 2 full charges plus 1 to 75%

Yes, you can charge an iphone 5. I purchased a small lightning adaptor and it works fine. I think I paid $6 for the adaptor.

Not with the main cable tip, which is micro USB. But you can charge the iPhone 5 with your own USB/iPhone charger cable via the extra USB slot. This also allows you to use a cable length of your own chosing.

Yes it works with iphone 5. The device comes with a 2.1 Amp USB slot on the front that can quickly charge iPhones (yes iphone 5), iPods, anything charging via USB slot, and even iPads (which require at least 2 Amps to charge).

Jon, To be honest I didn't look at the reviews till after I bought it. Which is dumb, my charger charges my iphone 5 from 0-100% and then some more it is really reliable, despite what others have said. I hope that helps.

I was able to charge my iPhone 5 with this unit. I only plugged it in to discern whether or not it worked. I watched the charge on my phone go from 30% to 31% within 2 or 3 minutes. I didn't want to discharge my batteries so stopped the test there. Hope this helps.
