Can I charge a battery by the sun at the same time I'm using the battery to charge devices?

If the battery already has a charge it would be like using it white plugged into the wall... Just not as good. The solar charger is more like a trickle charge. It will keep the battery charged longer than if it wasn't charging it. Thus is assuming your battery can drain and charge at the same time

I am using a regular charger I had. I've never tried to charge them from the sun.

You could, but id does run an LED display and a fan. So it will drain you battery eventually without some kind of charger on it.

You can use solar power to charge a battery conected to this inverter , but you cannot hook the solar panels straight to the inverter.

I'm no expert, but I would think so. I have the charge controller charging the battery while an AC inverter pulls from the battery. Should be the same situation.

You can connect two of these to your battery but I don't recommend charging the battery and using the USB at the same time.

Yes, and the brighter the sunlight, the better the re-charging goes; so I pay attention to align it to direct sunlight as much as possible. Had the unit for quite a while now and still going strong.

I think that if the input voltage of battery is 12 V and the shapes of inlet are compatible, then you can use this solar panel directly.If the input voltage is not 12 V, the you can charge battery by car adapters.And I want to suggest that you should disconnect each other after charging battery. Because some one said that the panel discharge the battery while the sun is down.

If you mean for recharging the pack, no, you cannot. This will charge via the sun, or via the USB port. Now, if you want to power a wireless charging pad with this, and the charging pad has a USB input, you can do that, so long as the charging pad requires less than 1A of current.

Yes, it can charge your device while being usb charged,But it can't be charged by solar power. It can charge 60%~70% power for your phone after it solar charged for 6~7 hours under normal sunlight. Solar charging is useful for emergency when outside,but do not over count on this feature, And it's not suggested that putting it in temperatures as hot as 150F,thanks your question.

I'm sure you can let the sun charge it but I charged mine overnight because it gave it a full charge to start. It won't charge at night or cloudy days so best to start with a full charge.

Sure. You can charge both of them at the same time. Or the pair of two other devices.

yup, works fine charging both at the same time. Make sure you got one bank to one battery and the other bank to the second battery(in other words, don't mix the two banks from the charger up).

I got these for solar LED lanterns. The original battery was soldered into the board - I removed it put this battery in it's place and it charges with the solar cell mounted on top. sometimes it charges fine - but has to be very sunny. You may be able to charge it using a AA/AAA charger and a copper wire taped to the contacts - but I'm not sure if that would work.

I don't think so. The solar cell may charge without direct exposure to sunlight but it may not be enough to charge the battery completely. I have installed mine where sun does hit directly for few hours and the rest of the time it is at an angle but it still works perfectly. The light is not very bright, please keep that in mind.

you can charge via usb port from the solar charger And the battery pack. battery itself is aIt's lithium IOn 5200 mah. the solar panel itself will charge it but I don't know how long it'll take and it's more than just interrupted sunligHt On the Panel It's also The Angle With The Sun As With solar panels

To charge the battery in phone and one on dock @ same time however I would advise against it as it slows charging significantly.
