Does it keep a phone charged as long as it's plugged in and exposed to light or will it stop charging the phone as soon as it is fully charged?

It will keep charging your phone until you unplug it. I had my backup completely charged the other night, I left my phone pluged into it and by the morning the backup was drained because it never shut off. Even after my phone was 100% charged.

I leave mine plug in all the time. It only charges when their is sufficient light. It also works under some lights at night.

The light does turn off when charging is complete-- I just tested mine and it went from Amber to off to indicate it's charging state.

Yes it does charge while your phone is charging... I only used it for less than a month and it stopped charging. I changed cables etc and nothing helped. Thanks to goo practices by Amazon I was able to return it for a refund and I got a similar product called Mophie. Had it for six months now and it works great. There is one drawback to Mophie... it has its own charging cable so you can not use your lighting cable. It also charges while you iPhone5 charges. good luck.

The phone stops charging when the light turns blue. It runs on AC still, so it's worth keeping it plugged in. It's not charging anymore once that light comes on, and it's not using the battery either. It's much better to keep it fully charged then to run it down before recharging it. Most cell phone batteries are that way. Most older appliances with rechargeable batteries are not (e.g. electric shavers and landline handsets). Those should only be charged when they get low. Different kinds of batteries are better preserved by different practices. New cell phones last longer if kept fully charged as much as possible. The phone stops charging when the light turns blue.

Yes. It will stop when fully charged. This is exactly how I charge mine. I leave it plugged in on nightstand and in the morning its fully charged and ready to go.

You don't really know when it's fully charged. I still don't. I just charge it whenever I can for as long as I can. I've come to realize that if it isn fully charged, it will not charge your phone. It will just hold your battery in the same place for a few minutes longer but it will still go down.

I see three responses here stating that the device works while being charged, that has not been my experience. Once I connect the device to a charger while still on, it automatically disconnects from the blue tooth source. In this case the source being my phone.

Normally when it is charging a device the lights stay on. I have used 4 or 5 of these and occasionally there will be an issue with the led's not functioning correctly but it usually fixes itself. When you press the main button does it still indicate it's capacity left? If so then it's actually better the lights don't stay on to give your phone more power.

When fully charged the red light will turn off. Now I don't use mine while charging but I would assume that it would slow it down somewhat. My first couple of times using it I put a full charge on it and wore it all the way out and now I usually just charge it every couple of days or so, depending on how much I used it that day.

When the light goes out on the charger, the battery is fully charged then take the battery off the charger. The battery will stay charged for a long time.

It preserves the charge for a while. Have not used it for over a month and then charge the phone and it worked great.

Mine has a red light that comes on and stays on while charging. I will update when it's done charging to let you know what it does.OK, after charging the red light went off. At that point I disconnected from the charger and reconnected it, the light came on for a second and went right back off so it looks like you're fully charged. Hope this helps and enjoy!!

When you charge the device, it will be automatically turned off...you have to reconnect it after it is being charged!

I found the charging time to be about a 1.5 to 2 hours. There is a red/orange light that illuminates when you first plug it in. It will go out when it is fully charged.

I have had mine for 6 months and it still charges my phone. It probably gives you about from 0% to like 50% or 60% maybe more. I have never had to charge it that much
