Will it work while plugged in or only on the battery charge?

This is the battery-powered model. They do have one that works with an electric cord, however, but from my research a lot of the people said it didn't work as well as the battery one so I purchased this one for a friend of mine and myself. It works great.

Same as C F, after a while of using it while plugged in, the USB port has become a bit lose and it will mess up as you move around with the cable plugged in. So yeah, it will work while charging, but you will losen up your USB port and eventually, you won't be able to use it while charging.

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

It charges while plugged in. It basically replaces the batteries and you plug the charger into the hole in the device, not the battery pack.

Yes, just be sure it is turned on. It will charge whether turned on or off.

If there isn't even a blue light that comes on when it's plugged in then yes it's broken. It should work even if it's just plugged in... but the blue light indicates if it's charging at all.

When I plug mine in, it should turn on because mine does work while it's charging.

Only works when plugged in. There is a battery backup to keep the time during a power failure.

No-It appears to work by an automatic switch. When plugged in battiers off-[unless you have rechargeable batteries-then they are charging]-other wise the regular batteries are bypassed when it is plugged in. Michael Barnes

I think it works just with battery. However, be carefull buying this because mines just worked for 1 month and after that never again!

I think it will work plugged and if power the takes over. You would have to be sure the batteries are good if you use it with just the batteries. We have not really used in this capacity yet.

Should work as long as the device not being used is completely powered off.

Yes it will work while being charged. I haven't tried leaving it connected all of the time because the battery life is pretty good. There is a power switch. The speaker is very easy to connect and use.

Battery life shouldn't make a difference as far as volume goes. Does it work while plugged in?

No. It works as soon as it's plugged into a power source. I'm also able to use it while my phone is charging via the micro usb.

Yes it works while charging. Make sure you have connected to the Bluetooth and then it should function without problem.

Yes, when it's plugged in its suppose to charge and work but it doesn't seem to work after a while.
