Does this item charge the device once docked?

Yeah it does and remember it's for the 30 pin devices, e.g. iPhone 4 and 4s.

the dock has a plug wire to put in the wall. yes it will charge the phone and the second battery at the same time. The second battery does not come with it just the dock and wire/plug. but again if you have a "protective" case/cover it will not fit into the dock.

no, but it works great. my only complaint is that when you dock your phone, it automatically turns music on, when all i want to do is charge it.

I don't use a docking station to charge my phone so I really don't know the answer. Sorry, couldn't be more helpful.

Not in the dock on top unless you buy an extension piece. There is a USB plugin in the back that you can plug in your own cord to that will charge it

It'll charge devices with the old apple connector (not the lightning connector) when the dock is plugged into ac power. It won't charge when other devices when it's running on the battery.

If you have the same batteries that came with the units, this will charge them. No need for a charging dock.

No. It has to be plugged in to charge. The dock is just a pass-through for the charging cable. It doesn't have a separate battery to store power. That would make it much more expensive.

Yes it charges when it's on the iPod docking station, and quite quickly. However the docking station is very sensitive and didn't last long :(

No it doesn't. And the dock actually bent my prong in my charging port. A big waste of my money.

I have charged it from several different usb ports. So to answer the question yes.

From my experience.. it doesn't. They charged once out of the box, but then would not charge at all no matter how long it was left on the charger.

Yes, it does charge it while playing...unless you're using the AUX port of course.

Yes - as long as the docking station itself it plugged in to AC. When it's running on battery power it does not.

Mine does. My issue is that it doesn't indicate "charged" - just keeps charging until you unplug it.

The dock does not charge your device. It is simply a portable rechargeable speaker dock. It does, however, provide an opening that allows you to connect your charger from below the device.

Yes! It is charged through a mini USB port on the side of the charger. As long as you can get a mini USB cable, you are good to go. My challenge is that the mini USB on the side is a bit loose and takes a bit of a wiggle to get the device charged.
