does this charge your iphone as well or does it drain the battery?

It only connects via 3mm (headphone jack) so only for audio transfer, not USB, which would charge battery. This does not charge your iPhone or iPod.

No it does not charge the battery, but it does not use much power. I can play music all day and not drain the phone battery.

Does not charge the iPhone. But it is an excellent player and IT IS WATERPROOF !! I did contact the company after buying mine and suggested an on board charger or USB port to charge devices while plugged into AC.

No it does not charge the phone. It has 2 cords. 1 to plug into the iphone/ipad and one usb port. The usb port hooks into a computer for power. Otherwise you have to have 8 batteries for power.

You have to use the USB they give you, it'll charge the iPhone first & then the backup battery. But, I just charge them both ts night while in sleeping since this lasts the whole day

I have a iPhone, It charges my iphone 2x faster rather than using the 1 amp charger that came with the phone. Hope this helps.

Yes, I charge my iphone 5, and external battery charger both at the same time. I've had this for about 3 months. And the best part, the dual port wall charger doesn't got hot when plugged in the wall for usage. I can have it in all night and it won't even get near to warm. This means less worries for me. I Recommend this to everyone.

There is a charging chord that comes with it. I believe it plugs into the regular plug that comes with your iPhone. I ended up returning mine because it heated up and didn't charge as well as I thought it would.

It charges anything with a cord that one end is USB. So yes it charges the iPhone 5.

It includes an additional battery which will charge your iPhone when it's battery runs low.

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.

I installed this and have only done two iphones at the same time. However, you can always plug in one to the usb and the other using the charger to the A/C. When I charged my single ipad on it, it charged just as fast as with the charger.

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.

It doesn't. What isn't shown is that there is an attached cable that comes out of the back of the display (where it's attached to the flexible arm) that leads to the dock connector on your iPod/iPhone). It does charge your phone, while it's connected.

I have had similiar issues trying to recharge after complete battery drain. I have plugged in the cable directly to the wall outlet and it doesnt seem to charge, although the indicator light does turn on. The iphone will also show a charging bolt indicator next to the battery icon which indicates charging, but on ocassion this icon does not show. I usually leave it plugged in for a few minutes then unplug it and when the phone beeps i plug it back in and the charging indicator turns on. This works for me. Hope this is helpful.

it charges very well. it can charge both at once. but it uses a standard micro usb connector, not the new apple connector.

It charges both. I believe it actually charges the phone first then charges the spare battery.

Yes. It charges our iPhones and iPods. We have it plugged in. We are not using the batteries. It does not have to be turned on to charge them. Just plugged in. It charges quickly too. Faster than a computer and some adapters.

Yes, If you're going to charge Android devices, this is the one you want. I have both and the Iphone one charges Android devices extremely slow. If you're using Navigation with the screen on the Iphone charger won't keep up with battery drain.
