Charge Caddy operates as a dual-charging system, allowing the case to remain powered on while charging and to simultaneously charge both itself and the laptop. After the laptop reaches full charge, the case initiates its own recharge. The complete charging cycle for both the case and laptop ordinarily spans between 2.5 to 4 hours, contingent upon the outlet's voltage. Upon the case reaching full charge, it ceases all voltage flow to prevent potential damage to the battery by overcharging it.
