My ipod is always low battery, will this thing charge my ipod while it is transmitting?

If it's plugged into its charger, it will. If you haven't bought it, don't. The FM reception is pretty bad and if you're traveling, you'll have to find a new station to tune into as you pass through towns unless your car radio tunes all the way down to the "dead" (87.9) channel. A lot of car radios don't (mine doesn't).

Not without a power source like your car cigarette lighter. You can charge your ipod through it while transmitting to your radio. I didn't find it to be a great transmitter so I sent it back.

I keep my Satechi tuned to 87.9, and with the charger cable that came with it plugged into my iPod, it WILL charge as it is transmitting. Mine is actually called the Satechi Extreme, and I love it! At the time you have it charging AND transmitting it isn't truly "wireless", but almost!

Hi - I have this one. It doesn´t have anyu battery and no charge. Works while connected to IPOD. I use it while riding my motorcycle - perfect.

Yes if the problem is the connection in your lightning port it cable. No if your battery is dead.

It only connects via 3mm (headphone jack) so only for audio transfer, not USB, which would charge battery. This does not charge your iPhone or iPod.

This is not a replacement battery for the iPod, it includes an iPod battery charger with its own internal battery. The charger in this device would work like any other properly operating iPod charger. I question whether the battery charger that you are using is working properly. Have you tried plugging the iPod USB cable into a computer USB port? Also, not all computer USB ports are powered; some USB ports won't charge (or power) the iPod.

Yes it does charge your device while listening to music even when you turn it off ( and its pluged in) it will still charge your devise. As if its compatible with iPhone 4 I' m not sure as I have an iPhone 5 and only use this with my iPod but I think some of the other reviewers gave you good feedback on that.

Note: I don't have any iPod devices so I can't be 100% sure... however, this device should be able to charge any device that you accepts micro-USB input for charging... or any device that uses a USB plug to connect to a charger. I hope that's helpful and not too confusing =). The cord supplied with the device (about 6" long) is USB on one side, and micro-USB on the other side. You plug the USB side into the battery pack (this port only used to connect devices that need to be charged - i.e. output only) and micro-USB side into the device you want to charge. You may reverse the cord and plug the USB side into your computer USB port, or a wall charger with a USB port and the micro-USB side into the micro-USB port on the battery pack (this port is only used to charge the battery pack - i.e. input only) when you need to recharge the battery pack (you can also plug just about any wall charger with a micro-USB connector on it directly to the battery pack for charging if you prefer).

No, just the aux input that would come from the ipod /phone headphone jack. But if you plugged the radio in (not running off battery) there are 2 standard 120 outlets on the front that would accept a wall charger for your ipod /phone that could recharge it as it played

I'm not sure what you mean. The item in the speaker system will charge either while playing or turned off. To charge the iPhone and play the iPod, the iPod would have to be connected through the aux. jack or play music through the iPhone app of MUSIC.

I was able to get a charge to my iPad while on battery power alone. I think I remember reading though that if the battery starts getting low the unit will discontinue charging via USB in an effort to conserve battery life.

No. You can put it on the dock and it will charge. When it is detached from the dock it will work. But If your battery is low on your phone Bluetooth/connection will cut in and out.

Yes. However, it will only charge your IPod when plugged into an outlet. Batteries allow you to play music, but not to charge the music player. BTW, the sound is outstanding - true fidelity and depth of sound - for such a small speaker. Highly recommended.

Yes, but I'm finding that IPod is still the only player that has an FM transmitter that also allows you to charge your player while in the car. I'm bummed by this and hope Toshiba will provide their own FM transmitter and charger.

The USB is powered, so if you connect this to your stereo per the instructions (by connecting to the rear USB and auxiliary connections on your stereo), the USB will charge whatever device you plug into it. So, if you need to charge your iPod, for example, it will charge. HTH

Only if it is connected to an outlet. If it is running on its own battery it will not charge your iPod.

Yes! I have a fourth generation ipod touch and it charges even when unit is powered off. I purchased this when I was only looking for a base charger, but I found it at Walmart for a little more than $25! Cheaper than most quality chargers! I have had for over a year now and it is working great!

I don't believe so. When it's connected to my iPod classic, it doesn't seem to charge the iPod.
