I've been able to charge the projector while in use. just make sure you have a usb ac adapter with 5 volts and 1 amp (1000 mAh) output or better. It will get warm from this

Although you cannot charge battery while the unit is running, I went camping a couple weeks ago and by running the projector with my externalbattery pack (5 volts 2 amps) plugged into the mini USB connector I was able to watch two movies (five continuous hours) with it. The unit got a little warm but it worked like a charm.

The unit consumes battery when playing back; and only charges when not on. Major flaw in the design!! (it should, if not charge while playing, at least play back on USB power instead of internal battery).

Ok, i think the right answer is: the device does not charge while playing videos if connected to usb port (it simply mantain charge if connected to the right charger). It is reccommended a 1500/2000 A usb charger for best results.

Yes it can charge and project at the same time but it is a little tricky. You need to use the cables that comes with the pico, other cables won't work.

It will run the whole time and while you are charging it I usually have it hooked up to my computer and running at the same time

Wow thats crazy, my daughter uses hers for 6 to 7 hours straight, on netflix,youtube,games or apps. She doesnt put it down, she does EVERYTHING on it and only has to fully charge it at night before going to bed, that takes a couple hours though, at least 2 but not sure. If yours is only good for 3 hours thats a big problem , thats not even half of how long its supossed to go, usually when a product says the battery lasts a certain amount its usually not even close to that but I was very surprised when ours actually lasted the 7 hours it promised, and Im telling you its on streaming videos and movies for the hole 7 hours and it has never shut down,the lowest it got was 8% and than it took hours to fully charge it again.

Mine also runs slow, and quiet. It cuts good and will stay charged for about 10 to11 days.Happy with it.

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.

I am on my second SwiMP2G. I have no charging issues. I swim M-F for 1/2 hour and recharge it after 10 swims. That is also how my first one was used and I never had a charging problem with it either. Sorry I could not help with any resolution.

It charges in both positions, on or off. :-) If it is totally dead, it is best to charge it for a few minutes in the off position. Especially if you want to charge and play it at the same time.

Mine only run for five minutes after a full 16h charge! The customer care support says that's the way it is. Ridiculous! DON'T BUY IT!

It is not recommended to run it while plugged in. Like most rechargeable products, it it intended to run from only the battery. Properly charge up the battery before use, let it discharge and then recharge.

I can only answer for the one that I own. I can plug it in and it runs just fine, especially when battery is low. If your battery is completely dead, with no chance of ever charging again, it probably has a short and it, theoretically, will NOT work when plugged in either due to the shorted battery.I hope somewhere in what I said you find the answer that you were looking for.

We haven't had any reports of this issue. You should ask your supplier to send you another charger that is of the correct amperage to charge the Streamer. John, HABC

You have to recharge the battery. t does not work while charging. But this is not issue for me because the battery life is about 8 hours.

It needs charging from mains via an adapter - will run for quite while on one charge.

That's nor bad. think you will find that it will run longer and longer after use and re-charging. Did you fully discharge it before re-charging the first time? No worry if you didn't, but it may take several recharges to get it up to full running time. Mine now runs about an hour before running out.

Yes it does. My battery life has lasted quite awhile without recharging. Video streaming also depends on your current quality of internet plans. It needs to be high speed otherwise it lags and stalls.

This device uses a rechargeable battery and is designed to last 8 hours of live streaming per charge, and last hundreds of charges. It comes with a 30 day trial period and a full one-year manufacturer warranty. Thank you for your patronage.

I use rechargeable and it played for over 80 hours in one sitting. Not bad.
