When it says it let's you "dock", can I assume that it is charging my iPhone?

Yes, that is correct.. If you own a new iPhone 5C or 5S, you'll need a 30-pin to lightening connector / adaspter available online from a variety of sources

Yes. Sony is very strong on the capability to charge while having a device docked. This is one of the primary features that make Apple such a strong competitor. Unless you truly buy a cheap knock off, most all "i" docks have the capability to charge. However this is dependent on the gen of "i" device as apple changed their charge pins and power input rates around 2010. The devices will state if they are for post iphone 4 or pre iphone 3g. 4 is good for 4 and 4s and 3gs is back to original iphone. This is also the case with gen 4 for nanos and gen 3 back nanos.

Hi. The connectors on the dock are for iphone/ipad (the larger connector, not the newer one) but it also has a couple USB ports soyou can charge pretty much any other device.

If you have something that has a usb charger, you could use the other port to charge that device (depending upon what that device is). I plugged in a little rechargeable travel charger into it, and it started charging, but my iPhone didn't charge. It also doesn't connect your device to the computer. So it doesn't appear all that useful, but I think it depends on what you're plugging into it. Any kind of drive I don't think is going to connect, but some chargers would work.

It didn't before I put it in the trash. The red light I believe on the back where the spare battery charges is the indicator, and when it turns green you're good to go. Mine didn't last two months before it just completely quit charging on the dock. I got rid of dock, but kept the cable to be able to charge my phone with just that.

It'll charge devices with the old apple connector (not the lightning connector) when the dock is plugged into ac power. It won't charge other devices when it's running on the battery.

In response to your question yes it does charge my IPhone. I have not attempted to use it to sync my phone. The external speaker system I have has a docking station. However I can't use it because of the waterproof case on my IPhone won't allow docking. The new cord allows me to connect my phone to the speaker.

It would appear that there is a constant power connection. My iPhone is able to charge when my car is off.

You SHOULD charge it just to make sure its actually working. It could mean nothing that you received it that way.

No. The dock is basically a passthrough for the USB cable. You plug your USB cable in the dock and the dock has a micro-USB connector of its own. What you are looking for is an external battery charger.

No, it uses an electric plug and charges the iPhone at the same time as playing through the speakers.

it's just a cradle for your iPad...you'd need to use and plug in your own cable for charging.

No. The accessory doesn't care what device you are charging, it just provides power. Make sure the Powerstation is completely charged to 4 dots of charge before you continue.

It's going to seem like a small answer. But to sum it up. It comes with a 3.0 charging wire short enough to plug the phone. Then it has a cigarette lighter that plugs into the back of the dock. Everything is provided to you. If you have any other questions, please contact me again. Hope this helps

It charges via mini USB, however, I wouldn't waste my time with this one if I were you. It worked to charge my iPhone the first time I used it, but after that point, I could fully charge the case, however, the iPhone would not recognize it when connected.

I am thinking that it charges once docked from your iPad. I gave it away as a gift but when I set it up all seemed to have all parts and work well once docked. If I learn more from the gifted owner, I will share more.

Yep. Charges while you're docked. We use this thing every day and LOVE it. It's really, really, REALLY great. If you're looking for a great speaker to plug your iPhone 5 into, this is the one. Don't even hesitate. You're going to knocked flat by how awesome the sound is from this thing. I'd give it 10 stars out of 5 if I could.
