Can I charge my phone with your battery pack while simultaneously charging the battery pack?

Unfortunately, the phone cannot be charged while the pack is charging due to the immense capacity of the packs batteries. If you do plug your phone in while the pack is charging, the output will be shut down but the pack will continue to charge.

To charge the phone, you can use any micro USB cable. But unfortunately you need to hang on to the cable it came with, in order to be able to charge the battery pack itself.

Yes. You can use it while charging. Only wish there was some indicator light or audible message that tells you how full the battery is. Maybe they have that in the newer model.

I used the cord that came with it to charge both the phone and battery at the same time. I usually did this at night and both were charged within a few hours. You may have a defective one, unless you still get a full charge or 2 out of the battery pack with only 2 lights working. I am sorry I don't have a good answer for you.

Yes you would just charge the battery with the charger that your phone uses.

I have to disagree with the posts here. Yes, you can but only under certain conditions. If you are hooked into your computer USB port to charge the battery pack, then no, it won't. However, if you are plugged into a higher amperage charger ( I use my 2.1 amp Samsung tablet charger) then yes, it will power both ports and charge. I have run my tablet and my Galaxy 3 phone off of it while having the battery pack plugged into my tablet charger and it worked just fine. Started at 43% charge on the battery pack, charged both the tablet and phone to 100% and unplugged at 63%. I'm sure it would have continued to go up if I had left it on but I was at work and had to move to another department.

Yes it can charge 2 phones at the same time. With some cases you'll need an adapter.

Sure. You can charge both of them at the same time. Or the pair of two other devices.

Yes you can the charger has vertical slits on either side that hold the battery pack in place. Aloha

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.

Yes. You can use it and charge it at the same time. I leave mine on charge in my auto continuously while I am driving. Works well that way. I never have to touch it.

I just tried it, and it does not charge my phone while charging the battery pack.

You could but I charge them together, once the phone is charged the battery on the charger starts charging.

Yes, it will charge an extra battery. You can charge the phone and extra battery together at the same time or charge either one separately.

Yes. However if you want to charge two phones at once you just plug in the USB cables and plug it in and two phones will charge in just alittle over two hours. As for the battery pack, with no USB ca les plugged in,the pack will charge in just over an hour. This is a must have accessory to have.

You absolutely can use the pack while charging; I do it all the time with both Iphone 5C and Aftershoks charging. Too bad the other answer was so mean-spiritted and just plain ugly. Enjoy the pack!

You charge the battery just like you charge your phone. And yes you can use your phone while it is charging.
