Using the micro USB port at the bottom of your i5 battery case and
- What brand(s) of wall charger do you recommend for recharging the i5d battery.
- It is always best to use the charger that was provided with your iPhone. Only consider using a non-Apple brand if it specifically says "Made for iPhone" on the package and has the "Made for iPhone" logo. This ensures it is a compatible Apple-approved charger. Low-cost chargers found on gas-station counters and in discount stores will most likely not work with either our case or the iPhone.
- Can I leave my i5 powered on even after my iPhone has been fully charged?
- Yes, but we recommend you turn on your i5 only when you need to charge your iPhone. Once your iPhone is fully charged, turn off the i5. There are two reasons for this: like any electronic device, the i5 does use up a little power while it is turned on, even if it is not charging your iPhone. Also, the iPhone uses additional power to be on a constant charge because it senses the Lightning port is active and keeps checking it.
- Can I recharge my iPhone while it is in the i5 case?
- Yes. The i5 was engineered so that you can recharge your iPhone while it is inside the i5 case. In this situation, both the i5 and the iPhone will be recharged.
- Can I recharge my iPhone in the case using the Lightning Connector to USB Cable that came with my iPhone?
- No. You cannot plug the Lightning Connector Cable into the i5 or the i5 dock. However, you can still recharge and sync your iPhone while it is inside the i5 case using the supplied Micro USB to USB cable. You can recharge using the i5 Charge/Sync Dock, or by connecting the USB cable directly to the i5 case itself.
- Can I sync my iPhone while it's connected to the i5?
- Yes, you can sync your iPhone to iTunes without removing it from the i5. Both the your iPhone and i5 will also be charged while you sync.
- Can I recharge the i5 in my car?
- Yes, you can use an in car charger to recharge your i5. Just make sure the in-car charger you use is "Made For iPhone" Apple certified. Also, as with other charging methods, you do not need to remove your iPhone from the i5. Both will be recharged at the same time..
- Can I leave my i5 in the dock or connected to a power source even after it's fully charged?
- Yes, leaving your fully-charged i5 connected to a power source will not harm the i5 or the connected iPhone. The i5 is equipped with intelligent circuitry that prevents overcharging and overheating.
- How many times can you recharge the i5 case?
- The i5 is rechargeable for well over 500 FULL cycles. Partially recharging your i5 or iPhone does not reduce the total number of full cycles, so don't be afraid to top up your i5/iPhone. After 500 cycles the i5's capacity will be about 75% of the capacity when it was new.
- Does the i5 block the speaker, microphone or video camera?
- No. Unobstructed access to all of your iPhone's controls, ports, inputs and outputs are retained.
- Does the i5 interfere with antenna reception?
- No.
- Will the i5 block or affect the camera on the back of the iPhone?
