I've had mine plugged in for about 4 years now with no problems. It shuts down when you turn off your car. The only time I've had mine out was to check another vehicle for codes.

No, don't leave it plugged in. It will drain the battery. The green light is cool but it drains the battery slowly but surely.

Hi. yes on both! I actually called cust serv to ask the power question and he said if you're leaving home for an extended period, just turn the switch off but other than that just leave it on. And yes, it is waterproof so you can leave all components outside all the time.

You can leave it plugged in. The manufacturer suggests that you unplug it once a month for approximately 30 seconds to reset the sensing circuit.

Yes, you can leave it plugged in and ready for use. However, I found that you do not need to worry about it discharging without it plugged in and just siting there unused. It is amazing that once charged, it holds that charge for a long time. This is a fantastic product. It is better than any others that I have owned previously.

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.

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

I leave mine plugged in without batteries with no ill effects so far. But am concerned about power surgesrecently. They have reset my computer even with line conditioning and battery backup. Prob. from on/off/on cycle.

If you're asking if you can leave it plugged in then yes. I leave mine plugged into my tv. Plus I keep it plugged into the charger on tv so that it is always charged when tv is on. It doesn't over charge.

I'm not sure I understand the question. We leave ours plugged in all the time.

We leave it plugged in constantly and have done so for months at a time with absolutely no issues. Our motorcycles and any other battery connected to the charger always are ready to go.

Not necessary. It has an "Auto-off" feature, so you can leave it plugged in.

I keep this plugged all the time. I turn it on when I place a cup and leave it for several hours. Usually I have it on for 3-4 hours, but there are many times that I left it on more than 5 hours, and it seems to be fine. I even left it on over night by accident, but it was fine, ...although I don't recommend it.

You can leave it plugged in if you wish. I usually unplug it after fully charged and let it sit. It keeps the charge for many weeks.

Its been my experience that leaveing it plugged in after dark the charge likes to feed back through the carge controler and heat up why i dont know but it does i would reccomend unplugging it as soon as it gets daark just to be safe..it does get kinda hot!
