Does it still work while it's charging?

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.

If you are using rechargeable batteries, yes it can be used while the batteries charge. If you are using it while it is plugged in, make sure you remove the batteries, unless they are rechargeable.

Yes, it can be used while charging. Charges fairly quickly and seems to hold a charge for quite a while....I've used it off an on for the past month and haven't had to charge it, yet.

I believe it charges while in use, but I rarely use it without having it plugged in.

It's plugged into the power source, so my answer is yes. It's using power also so I don't know if you would notice it charging, but I can say I've used it when I had no power on my battery and it worked perfectly. I never noticed a drain on it either. It's like using the tablet while charging it. I hope this helps! :-)

No. It works as soon as it's plugged into a power source. I'm also able to use it while my phone is charging via the micro usb.

No, it will not work while charging, after it is completely charged, I leave mine plugged in overnight, remove the cord and it should work perfectly.

I've charged it while I have something plugged into it. I don't know 100% that it was actually charging the Jackery, but it charged my devices.

Yes, it works while charging. It is simply using the charger for its power source. It's a nifty gadget for your iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc.

I usually keep it charged when using it, so I'm not sure if it does or not.

No, I just charge it after I use it and let it sit until I use it again. Seems to work for me.

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. At first I wasn't sure it was continuing charging when this happened but it is indeed charging.

No I've charged it time and time again with it off. Its best that it's turned off during such process due to the fact in its on state it will be corresponding as a active device.

No, it cannot be used while charging. This has not been much of an issue for me though as it tends to hold a charge pretty well and it recharges quite fast.
