Can I charge it while I charge my device?

Yes. I have had it plugged into a wall outlet and used the charger at the same time.

It is possible, but I wouldn't advise doing it. It drastically slows down the recharge on the battery and the battery also becomes hot - usually a sign that something isn't working efficiently. I charge them separately now and try to keep the battery for emergencies, trips, and when I know I will need extra time on my phone or iPad.

Yes you can charge while listening to music, but it will take longer to get a full charge.

i don't think you can use while charging. i tried to do that but the piece that connects to the charging mechanism is also the same piec that connects to your tv

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.

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

Yes you can. the USB charger also acts as a connection for the device. You could also look into a USB Blootooth Adapter. Hope this answers your question.

That's a bit of a problem. You cannot use it while it is charging. But it does charge through the USB connection so your power bank will still be useful.

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

Yes you can. So far I've had this device for 3 months now and it's still charging good. I use it for my iPhone 5 and iPads.

Yes. The device can still be used while on the charger. Charging does not affect the usage at all.

No, you can not charge a device and use it at the same time. Doing this will blow your device up and the battery pack will explode and burn you house down.

yes you can - however using the device while plugged into this will reduce the total charge in the Anker more quickly. no big deal

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.
