lol sorry no. unless you have multiple chargers which i am guessing you dont have. though i will say it took only a couple of hours to charge it. so is not an issue for me.

No charging needed. You do have to charge the tablet that you put in it. You hook up the tablet to the keyboard that's in the case via the usb connector.

I normally charge keyboard when not using the device. Thus, I have not encountered that problem.

Yes keyboard needs to be charged. To fully charge it takes 1 hour. Charging cable is supplied when you bought the leyboard

the keyboard hooked up to my tablet very easily. i really liked it for the short time i was able to use it. my tablet will not take a charge, they think i received a bad charger and so i am impatiently waiting for one to be shipped. sorry i can't give you more input. good luck, linda

This cable is capable of charging the tablet, while the USB port is in use. The catch is the tablet won't allow it, unless you root the tablet and install a kernel modified to allow charging while in host mode.

The keyboard connects to the tablet through bluetooth so there are not hard wires connecting the two together. The keyboard has its own battery which you can charge with the same power cord. Hope this helps! I love mine.

you have to use the charger included with the keyboard. hope this helps or you already resolved.

I believe that the keyboard charges the tablet when the difference of the battery level between keyboard and tablet reaches a certain point.

You can charge the keyboard by plugging it to a USB port of your PC or to a transformer (charger) that takes USB. I used the charger that came with my ASUS tablet. The keyboard has a micro USB port similar to the ASUS tablet and comes with a USB to micro USB cable. It does not include a transformer.

To charge the keyboard, place the usb port in your computer and the other port into your keyboard. When charged, the keyoard will connect wirelessly to you tablet.

The keyboard inside the case does not need to be charged it just plugs into the tablet that is not included with the case. The tablet (which again is not included with the case) does need to be charged.

Yes, but caution because it's really small like iPad keyboard, I was bummed because I thought it might be a little bigger but works well and u can use while its charging

I am not aware that there is a charge feature on the keyboard, simply plug it into your tablet and go. If you meant change the keyboard, I have no idea.

No you don't have to charge this keyboard. It draws its power from the Surface, and that isn't much. The backlit keys go dark when you're not using them and then light up at a touch, so most of the time the Type Cover 2 isn't drawing power at all.

look carefully on the side of the keyboard (edge) . there is a mini-usb port that can be used to charge it. It charges in pretty much less than an hour.

Your regular tablet charger plugs into docking keyboard and takes care of charging needs on tablet. Keyboard requires no charging.
