Am I safe to assume it does not charge while resting in stand? Doesn't look like there is any room to do so.

No it doesn't. The port is at the bottom and it can't be connected unless the tablet is laying flat.

I don't think it does. I usually charge my tab at night and it lasts more than 24 hours.

if you turn the tablet so that the port is on top then you can charge it while it's in the stand. the tablet can rotate in the stand.

It could just be the product. Sometimes I have the same issue with mine. Over time the connection between the battery and stand has become less consistent in keeping a steady charge. I spend a little too much time trying to find a "sweet spot" where my controllers will stay docked and charged. Maybe contacting Energizer for warranty information would be a good move.

The device will go into sleep mode but I am not sure if it is a good idea to leave it charging.

There is a very small On/Off switch on the side - did you try that? Also, I found that it has to be charged.

Assuming that it is charged (not even sure that would cause it) it sound like it is defective, I tried to get mine to do that and it won't. Oh, and mine works just fine, actually pretty impressed for the price.

I have one of these but it's corded so there is no charging needed. Are you sure that yours is rechargeable?

It has to be charged and will not work while charging. The top is a "button". You have to hold it down to turn it on, turn it off, and to pair it.

If the tablet is turned off, it does charge with a regular USB cable or charger, only that it does at 1%/hr and tops at 80% ... Additionally, you don't see any lights or indication it's charging. Hence it's not practical, but an emergency

The charger is in the bourn center of the tablet and the fold over is at the top, so I would not think you could charge while on a table, but if you are using in your lap in the more reclined stand position, yes you could charge it.

yes. The screen goes blank to save energy I believe. Simply tap the On switch to check the status of the charge.

I didn't get a charging stand either. It came with the cord charger. The book said not to use it that way but it does charge the battery. Do not let it charge more than about 16 hours though.

Not quite... But there is some charge. I recommend a normal charge time before fully using it.

Ooh, i haven't had to charge mine yet, and have had it for over two months now. You might want to return it or exchange it.

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.

Not that I've experienced. I carry it around in my satchel and use it only when I have no other options for charging, which is rare. Every time I take it out it is exactly charged to where I left it. Doesn't seem to matter if that's 1 week or 6 months later, it's always as charged as I left it the last time.

yes it can be charged in the case. i have never attempted to run it out of a charge, but with casual use it will go several days before needing a charge. it has an auto off feature that saves the battery (i.e. the key board disconnects itself from the ipad and turns itself off even though the 'on/off' switch is still in the 'on' position).

There seems to be something wrong with how it works wrt charging and playing. I can get it to work whilst plugged in but not before it switches off- unplugging or plugging in power cord always disrupts it and means I have to restart it, but then it will work Ok still plugged in to the power.
