Several questions but have to ask separately due to character limits! Can you charge a device or devices from the USB ports while the battery pack is charging?

I use it to charge my iphone from the 1.0A port all the time and it works fine, but it probably wouldn't work as well with the 2.1A port since charging input is only 1.0A

You can charge up to 2 devices while charging the battery pack. The charger uses a microusb port on the side (microusb cable and charger to electrical outlet not included) whereas the 2 standard usb ports on the top are for charging different devices. I used a iPad charger with microusb and didnt have any issues charging 2 iPhones at the same time.

You probably can if you have the cords for the input and both outputs, but charging the battery pack is slower than charging a device from it. I charge my battery pack at night and then use it to recharge my devices when I am on the go or away from the house.

Yes you can. It takes awhile to charge unit but charges others 5x before unit needs charge.

As far as I can tell, you can charge anything that uses a USB charger. I have charges an iPad on it with no problem.

To charge the phone, you can use any micro USB cable. But unfortunately you need to hang on to the cable it came with, in order to be able to charge the battery pack itself.

No. You can't use it while charging the battery... you need to put the headset in the dock to charge.

Yes, you use a USB port to juice this back up. You can even charge this battery while something is plugged into it, to charge both battery and device at the same time. It also comes with a 100-240V wall adapter which has a USB port. Or if you have something like an iPhone which comes with a wall-&gt;USB power adapter, you can use that as well. I've had this thing for a few months now, and the versatility is just awesome.

If there is, it's by no means accessible to the average consumer. The clear answer is no.You can charge this through its micro usb port and then have it ready to power an electronic off the (full-size) usb slot when needed on the go. If it dies, you get a new one. If that's a concern then get a better, more expensive one.

Yup anything that uses a standard USB 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 can all be charged with this device. It does only have two USB ports, however.

Not sure I can help with this. The charger does not have a USB -- if it is charging the battery pack then it is doing what it was designed to do. Of you unplug it after a charge and are using a USB cord to your device and it won't charge your device from any port, try a different USB cord to device as a process of elimination - I do not believe you should ever have to 'wiggle' a cord to get it to work properly.

In a word, no. You can charge it with the usb port or a usb port charger you may already have for similar devices

I'm sure you can. I use it for all sorts of different devices. I have noticed that it may take longer to charge certain items than their own plugs may but I haven't found anything that didn't charge at all.

I don't believe this particular unit was configured for that use. As you can see they do offer Anker USB with specific charging capabilities. As I mentioned it may be possible but doesn't make it the proper choice to do so. Re-read specs and information given on main page for this unit and may shed more light on this question. Sorry could not be more help but I presently do not use this unit to charge any devices.Ray

I have to disagree with the posts here. Yes, you can but only under certain conditions. If you are hooked into your computer USB port to charge the battery pack, then no, it won't. However, if you are plugged into a higher amperage charger ( I use my 2.1 amp Samsung tablet charger) then yes, it will power both ports and charge. I have run my tablet and my Galaxy 3 phone off of it while having the battery pack plugged into my tablet charger and it worked just fine. Started at 43% charge on the battery pack, charged both the tablet and phone to 100% and unplugged at 63%. I'm sure it would have continued to go up if I had left it on but I was at work and had to move to another department.

This device does not charge using USB. It has a separate charge port. You can run and charge this device after internal battery has drain down using the charge port.

Yes you can use it while charging, but it can only be charged via USB cord.

I do not know for certain, but i belive you might be able to do that , but it would most likely keep the power pack on a low battery until you let it charge without draining it at the same time. I hope that helps

Yes you can... i love these things :-) ... if you use the micro usb on your laptop you will always have a charge..

Yes. You can use the fast charger to charge the battery pack. You won't go wrong with this buy. Ive been using this since day one. Never have to worry about running out of juice for your gadgets. Best buy so far.
