Can the speaker charge the battery while it is playing music (or switched on)?

I have used the speaker while charging and didn't have any problem with it.

No. You can plug in your speaker to recharge it and then play your device. It can only be charge thru the plug in charger.

You can charge and play music same time....I believe that answers your question

You can connect it to any USB port and will charge while playing. You can also play through external amplified speakers. I hope it helps.

Yes. The charged battery, however, will not last the night playing music. I put the USB cord into a 110v adapter.

Yes. The unit plays while being charged. It should be paired with a Bluetooth device before attaching the charging cable.

Do you mean while it is charging? Yes . It still play music while charging. You can charge your device while playing but not when the charge level is on red light in the back when you press the battery indicator. Thx. Hope this help you make your choice. I like this device. The sound is thru out the house. 1100 sq ft.

Yes, it does charge it while playing...unless you're using the AUX port of course.

You can use your phone while it is charging. You could have any app open, including music apps. But I don't think that it'll play the music over the speakers in the car. It doesn't in my car.

The user manual clearly states under Usage Tips: "To protect the circuit of the speaker and the long-term performance of the battery, please do not use the speaker to play music while charging." YMMV.

I only know that i need to charge it when it stops playing music, but it can be in the on or off position to charge, i prefer the off position though because it charges faster. there is no indicator for it charging however.

Yes, as a matter of fact it can. I plugged it in as soon as I recieved it. Couldn't wait till it was fully charged. So I connected it to my Bluetooth on my phone and played music while it was charging.

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.

No. The speaker gets its power from the USB port on your computer or player. (It also gets the sound from that port.)
