How do you charge the battery? Can you charge while it in in use (ie you want to use it longer than the battery charge)?

The CoolStream Portable speaker comes with a charging cable. One end is a standard USB connector and the other end is a barrel shaped connector that fits into the DC jack in the back of the speaker. You can charge the speaker by plugging the USB cable into your computer or an outlet charger that has a USB port. Yes, you can use the speaker while charging it.

Best to charge the battery with a battery charger, and "Maintain" the charge with the battery tender. If you have a large battery, it could take quite a while to charge it with the battery tender.

Plug it in to charge it, then recharge when the battery is low. It runs a long time on a charge.

The battery is built in. Plug the cord in to charge. Once charged can use without the cord. You can also use while its charging with the cord plugged in

Yes you can. You should charge it for 10-14 hours with first charge. Then you need to completely drain and fully charge your battery at least 6 times to get the full capability out of your battery...

You can use it while charging, but it will slow the process. You may use more power to run the device than is going into the battery to recharge it.

You have to replace the battery you want to charge it. And also you need to use the battery charger. I bought ot separately

You may charge it's battery from an external power bank easily. It takes the same power as a cell phone. But it seems I didn't use it like a camera during that charging time. You may try it - if the camera works being connected to any USB charger it will work with an external battery. Good luck!

1) no. 2) I have used a battery pack and it charges the camera's battery just fine 1-4 hours and during this downtime you cannot use the camera till it is finished charging. After my purchase I contacted the company and asked several questions also made a few recommendations as a customer that could make the camera more user friendly etc. No response! I am currently researching for another camera that will fit my needs and use this one as a backup or spare.

Yes you can use it while charging, this is my third one, can't remember the others names but they were pos. This one is the best by far.

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

Think of it like a cell phone. You need to charge it once in a while (great battery life), but you can use it while it is charging. You can just keep it plugged in forever if that's how you want to use it. However, it does shut down (after 15 minutes) I think of inactivity, even if its plugged in

No. It can not be charging and used at same time. It holds a charge for almost 8 hrs of continued use.

Someone posted in here somewhere that the the battery life is more like 2 hours for 2 hour charge. Apparently there is a problem with the charger that can be remedied by the way you charge it.

I charge it with the usb. It doesn't last long. I am going to return it. Doesn't really work good if needed while out.

No you are not able to use while charging. Once you plug it in a safety switch prevents it from being used while charging. Hope this answers your question

No...the external battery can not be charged as it is charging. I have tested this as well several times as I thought you would be able to.
