Yes it does stay on the entire time. It will not drain your battery if you leave it plugged in. Me personally I just unplug mine. It will save the station you programmed. Hope this helps. I enjoy mine.

Not without a power source like your car cigarette lighter. You can charge your ipod through it while transmitting to your radio. I didn't find it to be a great transmitter so I sent it back.

Mine does not. My IPOD player is always docked. Rarely listen to the FM (especially during the holidays ( bah Humbug).

Yes, I try to keep mine plugged in as much as possible. You do have to make sure it is in the off position (Radio Off)for the charge to hold. Mine has held a charge with just the batteries for 6 days and about 25 - 30 (volume dependent) hours of use - before failure. Better than most radios for reception - -when you see the antenna you will understand. Use it for yard work with an fm transmitter and take it deep in the woods for the local stations 70+ miles away. Durable, not the greatest fidelity, but adequate...small size makes it easy to pack anywhere...use it nearly every day!

yes they stay on until the battery life gets too low then when you push the button to talk into the radio it's makes a beeping sound and it won't go through to the other radio but the battery life is good for at least eight hours thank you

I have the same question. Will this work without the charger plugged in? In other words, can the ipod power the fm transmitter or is it the charger?

It has a power cord that you use to charge it and I believe if you use it while plugged in, it doesn't uses the battery. You can us it with an iPhone ( or any MP3 player/smart phone) but I highly recommend purchasing a cable with a 1/4 inch jack on one end and an 1/8 inch on the other to run music through the "aux in" instead of the designated iPhone slot. When you use the iPhone slot you receive a lot of static with the music but you get none if you use the "aux in" imput.

Yes. Once your device is charged, it stops. No more battery power used from the Jachery Bar.

if the radio battery is charged it will provide enough power to make a short phone call. If it's not charged you will have to crank the handle while you call. It will work for an emergency but not relied on often, being in the sun may charge an iphone to 10% after several hours.

Not sure what you mean. The radio works off of regular power or batteries. Your device (phone or iPod) connects via Bluetooth, but this radio does not charge the phone or iPod.

The battery is installed in the radio. When you connect the power cord to radio, it charges the battery (even when radio is playing). Once charged, you can disconnect the power cord and continue playing.

yes, but make you use the switch and set it to the corectvtype of battery your using or you'll screwcup the radio permanantly.

Hi! It is actually powered by the device it's plugged into. Works pretty well too; comm between iPhone can go a decent distance away from this device and still play your tunes.

If you left the radio on, then after redharging it will still be. However, the radio does not 'remember' or store which station you had it on. Instead, it will start at 88 mHz (the bottom of the scale).

Yes, I use mine that way all of the time. You will just have to read the car manual to find out how to set it up. It does keep the ipod harged

hi, no, there's no battery backup. on the underside of the radio is a short cord with a jack on the end that will plug into your ipod/mp3 player or iphone or ipad so you can play music using the radio's speaker. the radio is powered by a small transformer that's plugged directly into the wall and from it is a cord that plugs into the back of the radio. on top of the radio is a dock for playing and simultaneously charging your mp3 player/ipod/iphone. a decent, basic, small radio.
