There would really be no reason to do this anyway. If you have a
charger available to charge the external battery pack, you could just
use that to charge your device.
Original message:
Hi Jim,
It does not, here from the FAQ section on Kickstarter:
Can you charge a device and the Limeade Blast at the same time?
At this time, our Limeade Blast cannot support pass-through charging.
Charging the Limeade Blast external battery pack will take priority.
However, you can get the following accessory when you buy the battery
(taken from Kickstarter.com):
4.2A USB Wall Charger (optional)
The Limeade 4.2A (2.1A + 2.1A) 21 watts USB wall charger has two output
ports, perfect for rapidly charging the Limeade Blast external battery.
This charger will also quickly charge any two phones, tablets, a phone
and a tablet and many other mobile devices.
Features a collapsible electric plug.
Fully compatible with 100V-240V wall outlets.
Measures 50 x 50 x 29mm (1.9 x 1.9 x 1.1in).
They say the battery rapid charges fully in 8 hours using the 4.2A
charger, I assume if you were to charge your phone from one port and
the battery from the other port it would just not charge the battery as fast.
To me pass-through charging really isn’t a big deal, I already have my
cable so if I do want to charge my phone and the battery I just have to
use a second outlet and it’s not that the wall charger that comes with
the iPhone is hard to bring along with it being so small. This battery
still provides the most charging capacity in the smallest package and
for one of the lowest prices I have seen. The MyCharge Peak 6000 has
one third of the capacity, it’s basically just as bulky and costs the
same. Incidently, it also doesn’t offer pass-through charging, I
believe one battery that does is the IncrediCharge which also sounds
like a pretty decent battery and I think some of the Mophie batteries
might as well.
One thing I would definitely look for is auto on/off. I used to have a
Mophie Juicepack and while it was one from a few years ago and things
progress, it had a physical on/off slider switch and if you forgot to
turn it off the battery was usually empty next time you wanted to use it.
If you want to read more about the limeade, go to the Kickstarter
website below since it has way more info than the MyLimeade.com website
which really has almost no information other than social media links
and a link to buy it on Amazon:

Does anyone know if this battery will do pass through charging? that
is, can I plug the battery into the wall, and then plug devices into
the battery, will the wall socket then charge both the battery and the devices?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi.
I have also bought that battery. I really like it. Especially because I
can charge both my IPhone and my braille display without worrying about
if there is enough juice on the batterypack.
I agree that it would have been nice if we could see the status of the
batterypack, but I am happy that I choose this one.
Best regards Annie.

Casey,
It's been discussed quite a bit about 2 weeks ago including prices,
Amazon links and all of that. Given the relatively unique name, if
you search the archives for "Limeade" or do a search on Amazon for
the same you will find all the info.

Introduction
The Limeade line of products come in many different sizes to suit
your needs. They have a few packs, ranging in size from the $25
5000 MAH battery pack to the $99 18 MAH battery pack. You can look
at all the different models to compare for yourself by searching
Amazon for Limeade. This specific review only covers the 18 MAH
version. The higher the number, the more it costs, but also the
larger the device and more juice you get to power your devices.
Description
The 18000 MAH version of this pack measures 4.9 x 3.1 x 0.9 inches
and weighs 13 ounces. TO give an idea of how that compares to
other devices, it's about as long as my iPhone 5, is slightly
wider than the iPhone 5, and is about 2 times as thick. There is
only 1 button on the device, which can be found on the side of the
battery pack. It is located closest to the micro USB port. When
you orient the button so that it is on the left side and is
closest to you, all other functions are on the front of the pack.
The button you never need to use, as the device auto turns on and
off when something is connected and disconnected from it. Pressing
the power button once will cause the LED to briefly flash to
indicate the amount of power the pack has remaining. Pressing it
twice rather quickly will turn on the flashlight. Pressing it
again twice will turn this off. . As indicated previously, the
micro USB port is located on the left front of the unit. next to
that, you'll find the LED light, which doubles as a flashlight and
battery power indicator. To the right of that, you will find 2 USB
ports which, yes, will allow you to charge 2 devices at the same
time. Next to the LED light is a 1 AMP USB port, which works fine
for iPhones and other accessories with smaller batteries, and to
the right of that is a 2.1 amp USB port. This is most suitable for
charging tablets and other accessories that have larger batteries.
You can charge iPhones and other acessories with either port, but
you must charge tablets with the 2.1 amp port. I didn't notice
much of a difference in speed when charging my iPhone 5 with the 2.1
amp port versus the 1 amp.
What's in the box.
In the box is the battery pack itself, along with a USB cable
which has a standard USB connector to plug in to the pack, and
then the other end doubles as a micro USB connector or 30-pin
Apple connector, which Apple used up until last year for all of
its devices. You simply move the 30-pin connector out of the way
when you wish to use the Micro USB cord.
Operation and impressions
One of the biggest concerns I had with this pack was the
flashlight feature. The button seems hard to bump, and would take
2 fairly quick bumps to activate, so this doesn't really bother me
as I thought it would. The lack of an accessible way for me to
check the power available kind of stinks, but it pretty much comes
with the territory, unless you want to shell out the same amount
of money for a battery pack which talks, but only has 1/3 of the
capacity. I have charged my iPhone with this device 4 times, this
includes the case with the additional battery, and the Limeade has
still not gone dead. From reading reviews, it appears as though
the battery pack takes about
12-14 hours to charge completely, so I'll do that once the pack
goes dead, which will probably be soon.
One of the nice things about this pack is that I don't have to
worry about fiddling with the button on the side. It has an auto
turn on and turn off feature which works whenever you connect or
disconnect a device being charged. I've carried this device in my
pocket, but it was a bit hefty to carry around, as there was no
room for anything else in that pocket, so I usually kept it at
home or in my office in my bag.
One of the draw-back to the Limeade line of products is that they
do not come with a wall charger, but you can use the included
cable to charge from your computer, or use a wall power supply of
your own to charge the device. I wish a wall charger had been
included, but I have several laying around, so it wasn't a big
deal. It also did not come with a lightning connector, also not a
big deal, as I can simply use the USB cable that came with my
phone, but it's something the user should be aware of when purchasing
the product.
Concluding remarks
This device seems to work very well. There are a couple of
draw-backs, which I mainly can address given the other equipment
that I have. The biggest draw-back, particularly with a large
capacity battery such as this, is that there is no way to really
know how much battery power I have left. If I use it with devices
that I know the MAH capacity of like my iPhone 5, or a certainly
braille display, I can do the quick math in my head and keep a
tally, but not all users would want to do this. The company claims
this battery pack can last for 500 cycles, which means that I
could plug it in for 500 days in a row before I notice a dramatic
decrease in the capacity of the battery. of course, unless I'm
charging higher end devices like tablets, this won't be needed. I
predict I'll get 1 or 2 more charges out of my combination
iPhone/battery pack case, but will run the battery completely down
to see how much that actually happens. Even if I just use it for 5
charges, that's a lot of battery power which will last a long
time. I wish I had this battery during Hurricane Sandy, but will
be glad I have it around for when I have the unfortunate
experience of having another situation where I go without power
for several days. It will also be great for long flights, as there
is no charging stations on airplanes. I'm happy with my purchase,
but would probably recommend a lower capacity version of this
battery to others so that they can save money and will allow for a
greater degree of portability. The higher end pack is certainly
for the power user, or the user who wishes to charge a tablet such as
an iPad a couple of times without having to connect to AC power.
