Can I use the 10K to charge devices while the 10K is plugged into AC power and charging itself?

I have but I am not sure it is recommended. I love this device, the charge lasts a long time.

Don't think so. The unit is in either charge or discharge mode. I never tried both. There's a led indicates the unit is charging or discharging, it cannot show both modes same time.

I just tried and I don't think it will charge devices while also being charged itself. I tried my phone and tablet and neither showed as charging while the 10K was plugged in as well.

Yes. You can charge 2 USB devices and 3 electrical devices at the same time.

Yes you can, but it's best to finish everything and let it charge sense this charger has a power limit.

Most likely. Depends on how much current these devices draw, but I'm guessing all those added up are well below 10A.

You probably can if you have the cords for the input and both outputs, but charging the battery pack is slower than charging a device from it. I charge my battery pack at night and then use it to recharge my devices when I am on the go or away from the house.

I you have, say, a tablet or phone charger where you can unplug the USB cable and have the AC wall adapter seperate, you can use it to charge this device. Just take the wall adapter and plug a microUSB cable into the device and it will charge (you can use the microUSB cable that comes with e devce or use one that you use for your phone or tablet etc.)

yes I don't see why it would not work, you should use a charge controller to prevent overcharging

You can use it while charging, but it will slow the process. You may use more power to run the device than is going into the battery to recharge it.

Yes, most devices can be used while charging. You can also plug in the battery while charging a device and charge both at once.

Yes you can charge the 12v 10000 mah because there is a switch to change how much power is going to the battery so yes you can use this charger to charge your battery

i didn't try that way, i think that it's not possible, because the charger is a wall plug, i u want to use it like that you have to plug into an extension cable, but i don't thing that it will work, like all the electric devices (drills, screwdrivers, etc, didn't work while charging)

There is only one USB input, and one USB output. I imagine that you could theoretically chain multiple chargers together, one being charged while charging your device. But to me it makes more sense to simply have a backup pair of AAs and to change the batteries when they are dead. Goal Zero does not mention anything about chaining with the guide 10.

yes you can... it is a great little device for charging more than one usb driven device.

Yes you can run it on AC power! If it doesn't come with a plug in the box (some companies include them), a quick trip to Radioshack for a 5VDC plug will power the entire thing, I use mine to charge my phone and tablet. It won't handle Samsung's 2.1 amp "fast" charge requirements, but all you do is power the device off and plug it in.

i do not think that it would profit you to do so, in theory you would be 1/2ing the capability of the charger. i can not see the advantage of this.

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.

Yes you can but, if you are using a wall charger to charge the portable, you should probably use the wall charger to charge your unit instead because it would be faster. And it wouldn't drain the life of the portable battery either.
