Do you always need to plug it into the wall for it to work or does it charge the internal battery making it portable?

There is no internal battery. It's basically a portable power strip / surge protector so it will only work if it's plugged in.

It comes with a small USB cord to charge it. You will need to plug it into something that can be plugged into the wall.

It seems to charge plugged into the wall.. not the phone.... the good news is it holds an incredible amount of charge for a long time.... I use pretty regular and I haven't charged it in 3 months.

Must be plugged in at all times. Most of the other ION products run from an internal battery but not this one.

It does plug into the wall, however, it does not charge the D batteries while plugged in.

It has an internal battery, non-removable. You must take it off the wall and charge via usb cable.

I just plug it into the wall outlet. Haven't used batteries because I hate paying for them. The unit is quite light though and has a great handle if you need to transport it.

The battery charges anytime the unit is plugged into the wall. Should the power fail and the unit become discharged, it will recharge the battery when it receives power from the wall plug again.

It plugs into the wall. On rare occasion it will spill water a little bit, so a battery wouldn't really be a great idea for it. I will say that I love mine (I have 2 because we have twins) and have found them to be the best out of every other brand we tried. We've had ours for over a year, I even sent some to my sister to keep at her house for our visits - they are that good!

This piece of equipment has no internal power source so it requires the wall plug. There are self contained battery jumpers on the market which is what you want, however they don't recharge batteries on their own. Different needs, different equipment.

The charger plugs into the wall. There is a USB slot that you could plug your own USB cord into and it will charge the battery in your phone from the USB cord at the same time as the extra battery charges from the wall charger.

Yes you can but, if you are using a wall charger to charge the portable, you should probably use the wall charger to charge your unit instead because it would be faster. And it wouldn't drain the life of the portable battery either.

It comes with a USB cord for charging and aux in. You will need a USB to AC plug if you want to charge in the wall. I leave it plugged in but have had it last a 10 hour work day on battery.

Battery comes with a small cord that is mini USB on one end & USB on the other. If you want to charge battery using a normal wall outlet, you will need an adapter that the USB can plug in to and the adapter plugs in to the wall outlet

It needs to be plugged in. It's portable and can be moved around the house, but it needs power.
