This is your standard car charger with two USB ports. It needs to be plugged in your car in order to work. It's not an external battery. Benefits are you have a 2 Amp charger and a one amp charger so devices that are compatible can charge faster with the 2amp port.

Needs to be plugged into the cigarette lighter to charge the device. I hope this helps!

No it's not a portable charger, it needs to be plugged into the cigarette outlet of your car. From there you plug a USB cable into the front of it for whichever type cord your phone requires.

Works well, when I'm in my car I have two cords and two phones plugged in since receiving the charger months ago. No problems.Just re-read your question, must be plugged into an outlet, and I have moved it from one car to another.

It has to be plugged in, it is a car charger and would need to be plugged into the 12 V cigarette lighter port in most vehicles.

The battery charger will charge when plugged in. I believe the backup is for emergency and use an electric for normal use.

No, you have to plug it in the charge it, but then you unplug it when you use it.

It's electrically charged. You have to plug it in. It does have a delightfully long cord however.

It needs to be plugged in. The cord is about a foot long so really not portable.

It has a plug. It also has the ability to run on batteries, but I don't know how long the charge would be since I keep it plugged in.

I charge the portable device on my computer with the included USBCord. It is charged when all 4 lights on the battery light up and stop blinking. The device has two connectors to plug into your phone or IPod. You can use your device even if it is plugged into this device while it charges. Small and convenient to use.

It will charge it while the tablet is in use. If the tablet has no battery life it may need to charge for a few minutes before it will power on

It is designed to be plugged in. It has a cord not visible in the picture. (It is a great little personal lamp.)

Yes, it has to be plugged in. It does not come with a battery adapter. I had an outlet on my porch within reach, but most people probably need to use an extension cord.

It comes with a cord to charge with, I leave mine plugged in all the time, but I'm using it just about daily

I think they say not to use it plugged in, but the charging time is a short four hours and the charge lasts for many hours, so the power it uses without being plugged in is more than sufficient to tackle the job.
