Yes it does. I purchased mine for my teenage son's car. I wired it under the hood and never had a problem. It put my mind at ease. I was able to set fences, speed limits and could see where he was when I needed to know.

Yes. It automatically turns on once plugged in, but can be shut off while charging.

yes. it will most certainly work while plugged in and charging. Usually, while I have it hooked into a laptop, I keep the power hooked up too so that it stays charged. It will also work with a usb wall charger and any audio source.

Sure Use it while charging it makes no diff. It will not hurt the battery. Its basically just a back up battery. Same kind of battery thats in your phone Just much bigger. :)

No unfortunately it does not. Atleast not while charging the device with my cell phone charger. Doubt it makes a diffence how it's charged though.

Yes you can use it while charging, i think it may be a tad bit uncomfortable with that cord hanging off of it while your using it, especially with the way it plugs in.

It works while it's plugged in. I believe it charges - just slower - while it's being used. My unit currently is almost fully charged. Make sure you plug it in AFTER you have made a connection. Mine did not connect unless the charger cable was out. If it's plugged in when you turn it on, it will only charge.

No, it will not work while charging, after it is completely charged, I leave mine plugged in overnight, remove the cord and it should work perfectly.

I use my phone while its being charged. Not sure of the effect it has on the battery. But it does work. I even use ot while the phone is plugged into the charger and the charger is plugged into the wall.

Hello! Yes, the booster works while charging. I have used it this way many times. If it runs completely dead, it will take a few minutes of charging before it will power up for use. Good Luck.

Yes, it will power the connected USB device while it is on charging. However, please don't forget to press the power button to start it.

Yes. You can use it while charging. Only wish there was some indicator light or audible message that tells you how full the battery is. Maybe they have that in the newer model.

I have never tried to use it while charging so I do not know.It worked quite well in Windows 7, but I cannot seem to get it to work properly in Windows 8.1.As a result of this, I no longer use the two units that I have.Has anyone had any real success with these in Windows 8.1?

Yes, as long as it has some charge left in it it will operate while charging. When I use it on long flights I plug it into my MacBook Air USB and it charges while I use it. Works great.
