Can it charge when Xbox One is turned off?

Yes it does. There is no need for the Xbox to be on "instant on" where it sleeps, I have mine set up for energy saving where it completely shuts off and it still charges the controller. I have even inserted my USB thumb drive which has a built in LED light with the system powered off, and the LED always comes on, so you always have a powered USB port regardless.

Yes it will charge due to your xbox one never turning fully off (sleep mode). Now if you are one of the ppl like me that unplug the power cable after use then NO it won't, i don't like my system connected in sleep mode all the time.

Here's the deal, your Xbox has two power settings, one which keeps it in a low-power sleep mode and one that turns the console completely off. The low-power sleep mode (called "Instant On") is the default Xbox One setting. If you've never changed this setting, then this is what your Xbox One is set to. Using this mode, you can charge your battery while the Xbox One is "off" (e.g., low power sleep mode). However, if you did change that setting to the "Power conserve" mode (which turns the console off, almost like unplugging it from the wall), then no, you cannot charge.

Other posters are completely incorrect. It does charge with Xbox off (assuming Xbox is plugged in), just as it advertises.

When you charge the device, it will be automatically turned off...you have to reconnect it after it is being charged!

Yes you turn it off when your phone is charged and only turn it on when you need to charge your phone.

It would appear that there is a constant power connection. My iPhone is able to charge when my car is off.

No. It charges off the batteries in the controller. It also has a USB charger if you want to use that where appropriate

It has two USB ports, so if you have two USB-to-USB Micro cables it can charge them both. You can also adjust the settings so that it can charge the controllers even when the PS4 is turned off.

Yes but only if charging from a wall outlet as soon as its connected to a PC via USB the WiFi turns off.

No. In fact if you plug it in to charge while on, it will shut them off to charge.

The short answer is yes. The unit has an on/off switch. The USB cable will charge it while off and charge/power it when on.

You can but it will charge faster if you turn it off. Nice back up battery. I would recommend it.
