is it ok to leave this plugged in at all times

Leaving the charger plugged into the wall is fine so long as the connector end is kept safe from water, pinching etc. You should not leave the device plugged in all the time as this is not so good for the battery. If you never plan to run the device on the battery, you are probably safe leaving it charge all the time.

I leave mine plugged in all the time and plug my tablet up at night before bed. Has worked out great for me.

In both the outlet, and in terms of tablet, the answer is yes... Doesnt get warm at all... I leave mine plugged in most of the time while playing.. I have a battery app, and leaving it plugged in does not affect battery life

No. After use I unplug from electricity. I use this only once a moth to backup my computers.

I cannot imagine leaving it plugged in outside but if your concern is the flexibility of the cord, it should be fine. I leave mine plugged in an unheated garage. While it is slightly less flexible than during the summer, it is still far more usable than most cords. I cannot speak to the safety of leaving a cord plugged in outside all winter.

Yes, you can leave it plugged in 24/7. If you were not going to start your car for a month, you might want to unplug it, but even then, it wouldn't use enough power to drain your battery. If you have a digital watch, think how long it will run on it's little tiny battery. Just about the same thing with this little voltage meter. I have mine in a boat and I never unplug it.

I leave mine plugged in and never had any issues. I think that is in the instructions simply because it is classified as portable appliance. My oven sits on the counter plugged in and ready to go. My husband uses the convection setting on this all the time ,it is very nice to have.

Ella, you can leave it plugged in in definitely. With that said, if your going out of town, or won't be using it for awhile, I would suggest unplugging it, just to be on the safe side. One more suggestion... I would use a surge protector at all times on any electrical devices such as this one. Please know, that I did not like mine and it did not work for my needs. I am still awaiting Amazon to pick it up and refund my account. That being said, if it works for you, and you like it, then by all means, keep it and use it. I hope this information helped helped you out? If I can be of further help, feel free to ask any questions. I'll help if I can. Thank you, $BILL Ella, you can leave it plugged in in definitely.

If you need it to be on all the time, then do it, but it's best if you don't use it, turn it off and you may save some power... this just personal opinion. I always turned my off and if I need it, I'll turn it on.

I leave mine plugged in all winter and it's fine. I don't think it's a drain on the battery to leave it plugged in.

You don't have to unplug it. I keep mine plugged in with no problems. Nothing remains running. I'm not even sure why it says that.

Not always, would burn it up. I do leave it plugged up sometimes when I use it if power gets low with no problem.

Yes, same with any electronic device. Always unplug it when it's fully charged.

I use it primarily unplugged unless I am on for extended periods of time. Occasionally I have had too much data combined with long periods of use that require I plug it in because it gets so hot.

Several hours. Check the item description. and google the item title for blog discussions for more details. I think it also matters on what you hook up to it, but I'm not certain. It's also ok to keep it plugged in while it is in use.

It's up to you. It does not hurt the charger to leave it plugged in. But if you want to unplug it, that's OK too. I leave mine plugged in for convenience.

That's up to you. We leave ours plugged in all the time because that green light is so tiny. But if you want to unplug it just to be extra conscientious, it certainly can't hurt.

I have left mine connected without being plugged in for a few hours without a problem. But I don't know about permanently I have never done that.
