Do the charging ports also pass data?

No. They only provide power. The other ports do provide power as well though.

I think it's impossible. The charging ports are typically designed to supply power.

No, the two ports just provide power. When you plug things in the computer see nothing.

Not that I know of, or at least it's certainly not a feature present out of the box--it only charges via USB. I don't think it has the ability to send data through its micro USB port, only to receive power.

Hi Clarissa, The dock has a fixed cable, that cannot be disconnected, that has a USB plug on the other end. Just connect it to a USB plug (The Apple one that came with your phone for example) and then plug that into the wall. You can also connect the dock to any USB plug, laptop, car etc, and it will also charge i believe, however i do not believe it passes data (music etc) although i have not tried it.

Yes, it has the available ports. However, I've had my P7-1430 for around 6 mo. yet the batteries haven't depleted in the slightest. I'm on the computer about 7 hours a day.

Hi Robert Staggers,No, the charging-only port is for charging purpose only, it cannot used to transfer data.Anker Team1-800-988-7973 support@ianker.com Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm(pst)

Embedded in the charger where the controller sits is the port that inserts into the controller hopefully that answers your question.

The hub's charging capabilities are independent of the computer. I have numerous devices charging at the same time via the hub, not through the computer, even though they both are connected.

Some cases do not, mine happens to work just fine. It charges a hole lot faster and you don't have to worry about wearing out the USB connection.

Yes, there is 2 USB ports on there, one has a 2.0 amp output that will charge it perfectly almost 2 full times in one day

I have charged it from several different usb ports. So to answer the question yes.

No. The charging port is micro usb which is also for connecting to computers. You can get an adapter to expand from charging micro usb port.

The ports will charge at different speeds and some larger devices may not charge on the lower voltage ports. However, most devices will work on this unit in at least one of the Ports

No, because the case connects to the port and then provides a pass through port.

Mine only has one USB port. Power and data are through a single USB cable. Sounds like you would be better off with a unit that comes with an external power supply. More of an opinion than a proven fact. Good luck.

Yes. It is a micro-USB port, and can be used for charging the battery or transferring files.

No way I can see. It is powered by the USB connection and data is moved the same way. There is no other connection.

I'm guessing these are charge/sync, since I can charge and transfer data through the cable.
