Does the circuit allow the device to be used while recharging?

I've been able to both recharge and charge at the same time. I currently own 6 different brands of chargers and while this one is the heaviest and the least attractive it I'd by far the best charger I own. I now own 3 of them!

There is a manual switch on the device which must be turned on and off manually yes, as would any other device of this nature. Remember that turning your device on and off saves your battery power. You would have a range of 20 hrs. before recharging. Download the user manual in pdf format and read what it can and cannot do.

Yes, you can use it while it's plugged in. I've done it with my iPad and my cell phone.

yes you can - however using the device while plugged into this will reduce the total charge in the Anker more quickly. no big deal

Absolutely. Cord can be used both with charged and not-charged battery. Just switch power off.

Yes. You absolutely can. I use it while I'm traveling and it is the only charger I use while traveling. I found on a couple rare occasions I had the device switched on and it didn't automatically turn itself off and didn't accept the charge from the wall. Most of the time I don't have this issue and it recharges the battery as well as my connected phone and other devices.

Yes. In fact, I use it ALL THE TIME running on the batteries and only plug it in to recharge.

I did try doing just what you described because that sounded like a really nice feature if it would work. UNfortunately, no you cannot use a charged battery in the charger to power another device.

Not unless the device is made to use and recharge rechargeable batteries, so the answer would be no unless it was made to use rechargeable batteries to begin with.

You can but it ruins the battery. The battery will become dependent on the constant charge and will weaken.

Yes. My husband runs it under warm water after each use. It never seems to interfere with recharging it.

Yes. It works nicely and can be used in conjunction with a battery so you can decouple the adapter and seamlessly switch to battery-only operation and back without powering off.

You can use it while charging, but it will slow the process. You may use more power to run the device than is going into the battery to recharge it.

If you are using rechargeable batteries, yes it can be used while the batteries charge. If you are using it while it is plugged in, make sure you remove the batteries, unless they are rechargeable.

Sure. It's just like a laptop computer, which you can plug in to recharge while you're using it.

Sure you can. But you will not need to keep it plugged in. It should do the job without a recharge.

yes it can be used while it is charging, if it is on and synced before you plug it in to charge, then you will have to turn it on and re-sync after you plug it in, As pluging it in to power will turn it off. But once it is charging and the power is on and it is synced it will work fine and charge at the same time.
