Will Rokit Boost allow the iPhone to draw power first from the case (leaving internal battery untouched), and only then switch to iPhone internal battery when the case is drained?

Hi, No case will allow that since those are charging case, not alternative power. Unless you break open the iPhone and rewire it to draw power from a different power source than it's own battery. Think of the Rokit Boost as a portable wall plug. You can plug your phone in when needed. Hope that helps.

The case won't charge the battery until you press the charging button for 3 seconds. Its possible that your iphone battery can die if you don't depress the button. As a rule of thumb, I always allow my batteries to "run down" before charging. This is the only way to exercise your battery to get the most life out. This has been proven in my household as the kids always charge the battery when they get home regardless of the battery level. Mine certainly holds out longer. Hope this helps.

You can take the iPhone out and charge it, but the charging of the battery and the case is done with one charger at the same time. I never use the Apple charger anymore.

You can charge the case and iphone over night. But if you do, once the iphone is charged, it will switch over to the case and charge it too.How ever, when you look at it in the morning. You will see that the iphone has gone down to about 95%. The case will be still be charging, but will not switch and keep charging the iphone. It's a minor quirk, so you have charge them separately, if you want a full charge on the case and iphone.

No you do not, but for a faster charge on the go, if your phone and this case are both dead or nearly dead, I recommend separating the phone and case and charging them separately then assembling them back together when you leave the house. This is most effective because when you plug the case in with the phone attached, the phone gets charged first followed by the case once the phone is at 100%. This requires double the charging time, unless separated.

The battery performance of your phone is best when you let the battery go all the way down before charging, so I use my phone charge completely before putting it in the case. I work long hours and use lots if data, so I just have the case ready to put it on. If I know there is not time to make a change during the day, I put the case on in the morning. I have never ever had to worry about not having enough charge for then entire day up to midnight. It is an excellent power source.

It charges via mini USB, however, I wouldn't waste my time with this one if I were you. It worked to charge my iPhone the first time I used it, but after that point, I could fully charge the case, however, the iPhone would not recognize it when connected.

No need the jumper. The battery case has a micro usb port that the phone can connect to charge. If the battery case out of battery, you can charge the battery case through the micro usb

I think it holds up to two "full" iPhone charges when the case itself is fully charged. If you do not use the case's charge feature because your battery lasted you the whole day, then it won't need to be charged at all. Regardless, the case is charged at the same time as your plug your phone is because they are connected.

I think how it actually worked was if you charged the case while the iPhone was in once the case is fully charged it starts to charge the iPhone at least I think but normally I just charged the case and iPhone seperately. And no the case is the iPhone 5 and newer charger

Not by itself. Once the RFLKT loads the settings from the iPhone and you start your workout, you have to put it in stand-by mode. Otherwise the iPhone display will eat up your battery. Best regards.

I think so. My coworker has an iPhone 5 and it showed charging while the handle was being cranked. I finally got it to show charging with my Android phone by trying several different cables. This is only for emergencies since it only seems to charge while you are cranking it and you can't crank for long without tiring out.

When both are fully charged, the external battery will go to sleep and the phone will draw from the phone's battery. Turn on the battery anytime and it will continue to charge the phone until it gets to 100%.

I have been using one *heavily* for one year (purchased from Brookstone). Here's how the use and charging works: When using your phone, power is pulled first from the external battery. When the charge on the external battery is depleted, power is then drawn from your iPhone battery. When charging, it is the reverse: Plug the microUSB plug into the Maxboost case and your iPhone battery is charged first, and when it reaches 100%, charging of the external battery begins. Hope this helps.

Yes, the LED indicators will flash until the case is fully charged, then the lights are hold steady. You can charge both the case and the iPhone at the same time -- the iPhone will charge first, then the case will charge up.

No. The inductive function works through the back of the device which must be placed just so in order to work. The case disrupts the energy induction.
