Does this trickle charge once battery gets full, or does it make the phone repeatedly cycle between charging and discharging w/ screen coming back on?

As of June 2015, the problem still exists, at least with Samsung phones (I have a Galaxy Note 4). Customer service ended up sending me 2 replacements, but the problem remains. It is pretty much unusable for me because of the random beeps and screen flashes.

There was an issue with the device and it has been addressed. If you purchased it with the issue, all you have to do is call customer support and they will send you a replacement. I was one of the original backers of the project and they just sent me a new replacement (they finally fixed it). It works great now. No more waking me up at night

With my Galaxy S4, I find the screen repeatedly going off and on. It used to do it just went it was nearly fully charged, but lately it has been doing it more frequently. I've pretty much stopped using mine because it wakes me up at night. This is a know issue with them and is listed in the FAQs on their website. Customer Support emailed me to say they are working on it and will have a new product in 4-8 weeks.

I haven't noticed the screen turning on and off with my Nexus 5. It stays continually charging.

This will do the job! It is not like a trickle charger. This unit actually maintains the battery by charging only when needed, and also sends out a high frequency signal at certain intervals in order to vibrate the battery plates. Battery plates start collecting sulfite crystals, which is the most common cause of batteries going bad. The vibration knocks these sulfite crystals off the plates.

I assume that you mean "does it stop charging once the battery is fully powered?" My understanding is that this one does that, and seems to keep the battery charged if it stays inserted. The small chargers that came with my tools did not do that.

Yes it does it goes into a trickle mode to maintain the battery charge level

There are 4 LED lights at the bottom which keep blinking while charging and when done they stop blinking (they will stay ON). You'll have to manually choose which device you want to charge. It doesn't switch to charging your phone when you're done with charging the battery, you'll need to press the button at the bottom of the battery to charge the phone.

No it doesn't. But when your phone is plugged in it doesn't stop charging till it's unplugged.

This is not an answer, but I have the exact same problem. But it only happens when my battery is charging, if the battery is full there isn't a problem.

In general yes. I find that occassionally it will charge the phone, but then leave the case looking like it is charging, but it really isn't, so I have a charged phone and a uncharged case in the morning. I would say it happens about 15-20% of the time for me. Still a great case, and I suspect the best of the bunch that are out there.

You should fitter that question as many people have talked about that. I don't have one as I don't want to be bothered by trickle charging all the time for the few times I use the unit.

No. It stops after the item is fully charged. It will then "trickle charge" to keep the battery charged, but not overcharged.

Hi Amy. Why do you think it stops charging? When you start to charge, the battery sign on your phone should show up. After a few seconds the Energy Saver will kick in and turn your screen off. It does not stop to charge your phone after that. Did you charge the Powerbank upfront? You should charge it until the blue LED on the Powerbank 3000 goes on. Hope that helps. If you have more Questions please contact Customer Service with mail and your Transaction ID. We will find the best help/solution for you. Chris com-pad Customer Service

This unit is not a "constant charging" design. That is what makes it a cut above the rest. It charges to full charge, and then only senses that battery's charge level. When charging is needed to bring the battery back up to full charge, it turns on again. I have had one on a stored car's battery for almost a year as I have never gotten the engine back together. Another sports car I have may sit for a week or more without it being started. It has a Battery Tender attached to its battery too when that car sits.

It will charge as long as your phone asks for a charge.. That said, your phone should be smart enough to stop asking for a charge once it's full.. I believe they all do..

Hi there. Sorry for the delay on answering. The charger remains on even after full charge is applied to the battery.

Yes. I would recommend you use a smart charger, like a Battery-Tender, that senses when the battery is getting charged and switches to a trickle charge, to avoid overcharging.

I don't have a definitive answer for that, but I have charged mine many times, and it seems to stop when the charge is complete.

I have this charger and what that always means for me is that my phone is fully charged. At that point I believe the device goes into a trickle charge to your phone.
