can i charge the battery and the phone at the same time?

I'd say NO. The owner's manual states that you shouldn't do this, as it shortens the battery's lifespan. How much it shortens it, it doesn't say.

company recommends not doing that; can charge the Anker with the computer just like the phone so if you're out with your laptop and it's plugged in, charge your phone on one USB and the battery on another (just an idea)

You plug the anker into the phone to charge the phone. so if the battery is plugged into th ephone it cannot be plugged in elsewhere to charge the Anker.

While in practice you can, the manual clearly calls out *not* doing exactly that to preserve life of the battery.

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.

You can charge the phone with the case on it but it will not charge the case at the same time. You have to charge the case without the phone in order for the case to charge the phone when it's not plugged in.

Yes you can use it while charging, but it can only be charged via USB cord.

You can but, you should really plug your phone directly into an outlet to get a full charge. It's better for your phone and also the device.

Yep. And it also chargers 2 batteries at the same time if you want to. Hope this helps. Bye

It is rechargeable and depending on device you will be to charge 2 devices before having to recharge the battery. As far as using the phone while charging you should be able to, should be no different than having it plugged into a regular charger.

You can plug in and charge the battery directly through the phone... It's nice to keep the second battery charged in the wall charger and near by in case you are in a situation that you cannot use the original phone charger (airplane, traveling, etc)

No. Leave it in the "on" position. This will charger the battery and your phone battery too.

Yes, you can charge the battery in your phone. If you need a manual with this battery, please email support@ianker.com for further help.

No it cannot, there is no separate port to charge the phone while charging the battery

You cannot charge and use it simultaneously. If it's on when it's charging, the battery will become damaged.

The end of the charger has a small port that the wall charger plugs into. If you plug the small charge wire plug that comes out from the edge of the charger into the phone and the wall charger into the end of the battery charger in the small port you will be able to charge both the extra battery and the phone at the same time. I wish I knew how to send pictures it would show you better than I can describe. Good luck. Hope this helps!

You can charge both at the same time, but its better if you do it separately

Yes, you can charge your phone while at the same time charge your PowerPak.

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

Yes you can, IF the end of your charger cord is equipped with micro-mini USB male plug that also fits your phone AND your car charger can put out enough amps to charge both your phone and a battery.
