Do you recommend that I not use my phone during charging? Or, can I use my phone like it's plugged into a normal outlet?

It's always the case that a phone will charge faster if it's left with the screen off and not being used. But a battery pack of this size can recharge a phone a couple of times over, so if you don't mind it taking longer to recharge, go ahead and use it as you would normally.

Sure Use it while charging it makes no diff. It will not hurt the battery. Its basically just a back up battery. Same kind of battery thats in your phone Just much bigger. :)

You can use your phone like it's plugged in to a normal outlet, it will just charge a bit slower than if you weren't using it (because some of the power it gets has to go toward whatever you're doing with it).

You can use your phone like it's plugged in a real outlet. 2 AMP output is more than enough to quick-charge and also use it. Same as a wall-socket.

You can use your phone while charging it with the Limeade just like you would with an outlet. Use the 2.1A port on the Limeade if it's available to provide additional current, versus the 1A port, for charging while in use. If your phone can use more than 1A, you'll be able to charge faster while using it this way.

yes, you do if you want to plug it directly into the wall. I use mine in the car. Keep in and a plug-in in the car, never have to worry about not having a charged phone.

I charge it normally, USB through the phone. With one always on the charger to swap out when needed.

No you are not able to use while charging. Once you plug it in a safety switch prevents it from being used while charging. Hope this answers your question

According to our product team, all our chargers have a chip inside to prevent overcharge your device. If you can't unplug your device at once after fully charged, there is little effect on your device in normal status. However, if there is abnormal situation occur, such as power cut and then power on in your home while you keeping plug the device on the charger/outlet, it may cause a damage to your device and our charger. Thus, in the long term safety consideration of electronic device, we suggest you unplug your device after fully charged. Really appreciated your understanding towards this matter.

Unfortunately, the phone cannot be charged while the pack is charging due to the immense capacity of the packs batteries. If you do plug your phone in while the pack is charging, the output will be shut down but the pack will continue to charge.

Yes, you can use the phone or other device while charging. Full charge takes about 45 min to an hour if pretty empty. With a longer charge cord I leave the battery in my pocket while using the phone.

Nope! Pop it in, leave it in, and you can still charge your phone with a wall charger like normal whenever you want.

yes it can be used while it is charging, if it is on and synced before you plug it in to charge, then you will have to turn it on and re-sync after you plug it in, As pluging it in to power will turn it off. But once it is charging and the power is on and it is synced it will work fine and charge at the same time.

You can charge the battery while charging your device, although it's probably not recommended.

You can charge it while it is in the phone if you use the charger that came with your phone, but the included charger will NOT charge it while it is in the phone. There have been a few instances where if the battery level gets too low, charging it with a regular charger (like the one that came with you phone) will not bring it up to its maximum capacity. In those cases I'd have to remove the battery and charge it with the included charger. I would also suggest to charge it with the included charger during the "break-in cycle" that is described in the included instructions, just to be on the safe side.Hope that helps.

Think of it like a cell phone. You need to charge it once in a while (great battery life), but you can use it while it is charging. You can just keep it plugged in forever if that's how you want to use it. However, it does shut down (after 15 minutes) I think of inactivity, even if its plugged in

No, that would be a function of the unit being charged, but I'm not sure there is a danger of overcharging with phones, etc. This unit is not as strong and , therefore, as fast as your regular USB cable from a wall plug.

Best to turn it off then charge it....don't let battery drain totally. I often use it plugged in when it's fully charged.

Im not sure if its healthy or not but its happening because electricity is being transferred and with it being in an enclosed space (your purse) the heat from it charging your phone has no were to go so it continues to build hotter and hotter. If I charge my phone while it's in my purse I normally have the battery inside my purse and the phone in and outside pocket. That seems to work really well for me. :)

Yes you can. I rarely use it that way since the battery life is so great but for those moments when I forget to charge it I just plug it in to charge and it still works.

No problem, I turn it to on when my phone is starting to get low on charge and it charges back up. I plug it in every night, and it is ready to go in the morning or if you want it to charge during the day it doesn't take long at all.
