Can I charge this device and a phone at the same time?

Yes. I think the combination of charging and discharging is offsetting depending on the draw of the item you are charging...example...might take longer to charge both items this way, but they are both charging.

You can connect two of these to your battery but I don't recommend charging the battery and using the USB at the same time.

Never had the occasion to do both but just tried it and yes - will play and charge at the same time. The cords that it comes with aren't very long so your power supply would have to be close unless you use another cord.

Yes it can do both simultaneously. You can charge multiple devices and plug this power bank cable into AC outlet for charging the device itself.

Of course.. I have the one where you can charge two devices I do my Kindle fire and my cell phone at the same time.

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

Yes you can. I charge a nexus 7 and s5 simultaneously. No problems as of yet!

If your devices supports charging via USB port then sure you can charge all four at the same time.Charging time would be uneven though because current rating is different for two ports.

There is a USB port as well. You can charge one external battery AND your phone at the same time :)

Yes you can. There are 2 usb ports and you can charge two iphones or two androids or one of each. I love my Jackery!

Yes, you can. As a matter of fact, you can connect the phone USB end to the charger itself while the other battery is on the charger.

I haven't tried it but you should have no problem charging bat and device at same time. Think it will detract from bat over long run but should work

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

Yes, with two USB cords you can charge both devices. I personally wouldn't expect to get to 100% charge for both, though.

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.

it charges both at the same time, if i'm correct and if not first phone then case

You could. You charge the device with the cord provided, into any standard charger's USB connection (I use my iPhone charger). Since you would need to plug your phone charger into a converter, you could do the same with this.
