Does this device work while charging? I want to use it in my car and leave it plugged into car charger and use it at the same time. Any success?

Short answer: yes. I used to charge it and use it until battery got full drain. The player automatically stop playing, then I plug the device to the charger and after a couple of seconds I can resume plating with no problem at all.

You can use it while charging ,I have not tried to connect it to anything but my cell phone.

Hi Jen, We have only used it plugged in. My husband thinks you can charge it and use it while charged. I will tell you it has saved us a towing expense on 3 occasions. Twice with a dead battery. So dead....it wouldn't charge. Once a bad alternator. We used the quick charge function and it worked like a charm so that we could get it to the shop. Good luck.

yes it can work and charge at same time. charging it requires powered usb port. you can get a usb port for charging that connects to wall outlet if you don't have a nearby powered usb port.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. You can plug it into your apple device and continue use while charging yes. it works the same as a charger would. it makes charging very convenient and easy, but the negative is that it fits apple plugs...but loosely, like...you have to keep it in just the right position to charge it. other than that, it's a 3 out of 5 star product for me

As like anything else that doesn't have an auto shut-off, Yes, it will continue to use Power while charging at the same time!Always remember to turn it off!It will still charge, but, it'll take quite a bit longer with it on than off!I hope this clears things up for you.

Yeah it works while it's plugged in and charging. You can listen to it while it's charging.

Hi, Pat, The speaker does work while it is plugged in and being charged. I haven't tried to charge my cell phone from the USB port on the speaker yet, so can't answer that question. Overall, a great little speaker, especially considering it's priced under $50.00.

Yes, I have a usb port in my car so I always have it connected to the charger while in use. It works great while it's charging or not.

Actually my husband uses it in his car, and he does tend to leave it plugged in. I myself don't recommend it.

It did not work at all. Not once. The cord did work with a different car charger. So it wasn't a total loss.

I've been able to charge on a car charger via USB. I found the charge to happen fairly quickly and am happy with it. It charges better than I would expect (though my last phone would die even when on USB so my standards are low)

Yes, it works with either car lighter outlet and it's actually a great thing to have. Third phone to car device I've had and it's the only one that's lasted more than a month or two.

Yes, the pad needs to be plugged in to work. If you tried to charge in the car, it would slide off the pad. Don't think car would be practical.

Actually, I've never tried to use it while it's connected to the charger because the thing holds a charge FOREVER. So, unless you're a Sasquatch who is trying to achieve the "smooth" look, I can't imagine that not being able to use it "while charging" could be an issue. For the record, too, I do NOT leave it connected to the charger 24/7. In the six or seven months I've owned it, I don't thing I've plugged it in to the charger more than three times MAX.

Didn't try that myself, but it worked when I plugged it in. Use it while it charges...

Yes it does. If you have a USB port in your car it will work while charging. For my car I use another product of theirs that I believe works best - the GoGroove Flexsmart - a fantastic product. Both are terrific buys.
