hard to read on picture, says 'do not charge in a sealed container' ( I think). what about something like a MinnKota Trolling Motor Power Center which is made to store/charge batteries without removing from box?

My take on that statement was that it is a translation anomaly. I have recharged mine numerous times without incident, and I feel the intent was to not charge the battery in an enclosed space.

I have a battery turned around in EVERYTHING i pack that is battery powered. I dont know if it has an adverse effect, but from experience,m, ive never had any problems storing anything like that long term

Hello Amber, this product does not store power like a battery. It is designed to be connected to a large generator and allow you to add multiple power outlets.

What the previous responses said! Marine battery, motor mount, trolling motor and battery box. I would also recommend picking up a trickle charger if you don't have one yet to charge your battery when not in use.

If I understand it correctly, it"s kind of like a "Miracle Charge" you would put on your motorcycle or antique car, but this one, "a microprocessor-controller that constantly monitors the RV battery status and automatically selects one of four charging modes: Boost Mode - (14.4) to quickly bring the battery to 90 percent of full charge, Normal Mode - (13.6) safely completes the charge, Storage Mode - (13.2), automatically activates after 30 hours of non-use or Desulfation Mode - (14.4), for 15 minutes every 21 hours to prevent battery stratification and sulfation (the leading cause of battery failure)." I think it monitors the batteries, locates the lo battery and re-routes power from another battery. It's not really a battery chargers, but more of a routing station. My RV has 5 batteries and sometime certain batteries use more power than others and this helps keep them all charged ith in the same range. That is what the hi-lighted section refers to. Mine has worked very well. Dont buy the cae they try to sell with it. Its plastic and will disappear with a good kick. I used a chain of a cable with a lock. I hope this helps, but I could be totalyy wrong.

It is all a contained unit and there isn't room for another battery in it. I would imagine you could wire one externally and have it beside the unit or behind it in the wall for better appearance. Hope this helps.

Mine came in a box, and has a slot in it with a quarter size plastic coin that fits in the slot providing a "stand". Sort of like a little kickstand. My battery storage door latch broke but unit still works and I had it for a while. Not very powerful but for the money....

Buy the Black & Decker BDCDMT120 20-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Matrix Cordless Drill instead - much more versatile and cheaper as well. I bought this Black & Decker LD120VA 20-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Drill/Driver with 30 Accessories and sold it after I realized all the tools included were junky versions of things I already had. You can buy these accessories for very little money on Black Friday or even regular pricing at local stores. This enclosure is just an empty shell and the drill motor had no supports or way of organizing anything. Your charger and drill motor are free to slide around inside along with whatever else you decide to throw in there.

It's not a mistake and it isn't a battery. It is a magnet taped to the inside of the box. It is used in conjunction with the metal located in the box lid to seal the cover/window/display case lid so you can see the device while packaged but it will remain securely closed during purchase, shipping etc..

I *think* so, but I wouldn't leave it unattended overnight, or anything like that.Always charge in a lipo bag for extra safety. This one is good: Generic CoBean Silver Large Size Lipo Battery Guard Sleeve/Bag for Charge & StorageI try to keep the LiPo in the bag, and the charger *out* of the bag so that the charger doesn't get suffocated (passive cooling).It's not the cheapest charger or the best charger (or the most flexible), but it's in the sweet spot... best charger for relatively cheap.I had two cheapo chargers go out on me (the kind that is bundled with ready to fly kits) before I bought the Traxxas.

Forget about all of that, there is 2x12 volt batteries inside the compartment. Have those replaced, you are likely to spend $85 online through amazon or $120 when you go to the store. That solved my problem after wasting time trying to have company back up their warranty agreement. Good luck!!!I had contacted MTD and the company was playing hide and seek with me...I guess not as lucky as Michelle

Jean.........Hi!Yes, it can be stored laying down, however to keep it's internal battery fully charged up for use, keep the Booster Pac plugged in to an AC outlet using it's transformer. The internal battery is a small sealed automotive-type unit and will not spill it's acid if stored in a non-vertical position. I've used emergency units like this one for years and they can really come in handy! IF you have any other questions, feel free to call me at: (281) 614-1404. I work on NASA's Int'l. Space Station program so if you call the above number and you get my answering machine, please leave a phone number where I can reach you.

The transmitter base (Flying saucer) has a storage compartment/charging slot inside it for an extra battery. It's found on the bottom of the base - just turn it over and open the little latch - the extra battery stores and charges inside the base

You don't see it because it is NOT included with the drill. Instead, it does a direct charge into the drill. I did not like this arrangement, so purchased a cap charger from Amazon. I have multiple B & D 18 volt tools, so payed extra for the convenience of charging all batteries at one time. This allows me to store the drill in its case, out of my way.

Yes, you can store the batteries together. Just make sure not to store NEW and OLD batteries together. Also leave them in original packing and told store it by "stacking" the negative and positive poles. So in short, if you store it the way they are shipped, it should be no problem.

Less than a year. Sealed lead acid batteries need to be kept on charge or else they undergo something called sulfation, which is terminal to the battery. Buying one ahead of time and storing it is a bad idea.

It contains a sealed liquid battery; while it should not be a problem to lay it on its side for a short time, it's probably better for the long term to keep it upright. If you're using this in a rack, you may want to find a rack-mount solution.
