If it loses AC Power during/after charging, does it AUTOMATICALLY RESUME charging when AC Power comes back on? Do you need to push a button to resume?

Hi Eddie, from my experience, I never had to push any button once power is restored. The only issue I've had is it won't charge if the battery is almost dead & when it's like below zero degrees.

Yes, I have. I mainly use it for my phone and I've noticed that it shuts off automatically and stops charging. Despite having (presumably) charged all night. I'm getting ready to return it.

The unit doesn't indicate whether it charges and then reverts to trickle and I haven't checked with test equipment to determine if this is the case. I can say that the instructions indicate that it is ok to keep it on continuous charge. There is a built in fan to cool the charging circuit. I suspect, but cannot confirm, that it does revert to trickle after a charge. My unit is 2 years old and works fine.

Sounds like you need to return it. After fulling charge it all night it should work fine. They usually have a warranty. They will work for about a year then start slowing down and you have to keep them on ac power most of the time. Hope that answers your question.

Please clarify: It makes a noise while charging, a new noise you've never heard before? Do you have the brush head off while charging? Does that make a difference? I think it simply might be turned on without the head on, and see if pushing the button stops the noise. When it's making the noise, put screw the brush head on while it's still in the base, and see if the brush head activates - confirming it's "on."

I have not had that issue. Does your car outlet go off when your car's off? I have two outlets on my console, one turns off with the car and one remains active. I plug into my always active port so if it's in the base it's charging.

I've found that the Power Rocks charger loses it's charge if not used within a short time of the actual recharge. You may have to push the white end (this is also how you tell if the Power Rocks is charged) to turn it on. I've been using mine for a few weeks - once I figured out which cable and which end to connect with what, I LOVE it. I did have to purchase an add'l outlet plug so that I can re-charge my device at this same time I recharge my Power Rocks. It was challenging at first, and I thought it wasn't working, so don't give up too soon!

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.

It does power down after a period of inactivity. If you request information there is a 1 to 2 second delay then it responds. It still uses an external power supply as opposed to the trend of USB 5 volt power.

No. When it's time to recharge, you won't have any power left to turn it on. Just plug it in and it will automatically recharge. A little light comes on to show you it's charging.

Yes, it's also supposed to start charging again once the battery drops to a certain point (I've never left mine plugged in on maintenance mode so cannot verify this).

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.

On mine you have to hold the on button for approximately 3-5 seconds to turn it off. The lights go out a few seconds after turning it on regardless of whether it is on or not. AND if it is on when plugged in to charge, it will not charge no matter how long you leave it plugged in. This is the most annoying feature of the device.

Mae in not sure what you mean about it not charging on AC. I did find out, however, that with the larger battery when I push the power button the orange lights do flash, but then when they stop I immediately push the power button again and it works then. It has always done that with the larger battery but when I put the original battery back in, it works like it is supposed to. I hope this helps. Donna

I had that problem once. There is a reset button to push. When I did that it powered back on and I haven't had the issue since.

i believe the charger turns off automaticly after the battery is charged at least some do tho some chargers tell you that you are useing unnecesary electricity by leaving it on but i would suggest removeing the battery once it is charged.

Mine used to work great while plugged in even with low battery, recently this isn't the case. I have it for more then 2 years and now the battery doesn't hold the charge long enough for a single use and the unit doesn't work solely on the AC power, i.e. with no battery and plugged in, it doesn't work now.
