I am wondering if this Tria Laser can be used everyday and still last (if the charger works okay)?

I follow the direction from tria website. Use for five days then two days off. I have had mine for three months no problems with charger.

I've owned mine for almost a month and use it every week. I always leave 1 of my 2 batteries in the charger between uses so that I always have a fully charged battery. The instruction manual says that's fine and so far, I have not seen any issues with doing so.

Believe me you will get plenty of service Life, and I plan on replacing it in another 10 years! Just keep it on the Charger, no Problems here, and it still works like new!

Batteries are fine in my weapon light that I use everyday on duty. The charger however, does not fit the batteries and you can't find any type of return or exchange after the purchase. You're better off buying some other batteries / charger and paying a little more. Or just buy streamlight/surefire batteries in bulk. At least you'll be able to complain to them if the batteries are bad.

Yes, I use my phone charger and once full it can last for weeks at a time using it about an hour a day.

I've had mine for about a year and use it for about 4-6 hours every day. No problems.

I would call the customer service line at Tria. They are very helpful if you have questions. I believe the answer is definitely yes. It will do what more powerful lasers do but over a longer period of time. I am very pleased so far and have been using mine for about 8 weeks.

My husband charges his at the end of every day. He loves it and uses it daily.

Yes. While they seem to be somewhat tolerate to overcharging you can ruin them. I've left them for 12hr and had no problem. But when I forgot about one and left it for a day. It was ruined. It just wouldn't hold a long term charge anymore. I had used it quite a bit so it may it was just its time to die but all the others I've had have lasted a very long time.

I've gotten over 100 charges or so from it. That's over 3-4 years with me having periods of non-use. I always use a lipo charger. it eventually did start swelling on me. So I haven't bought any more of these , just 5000 mah venom.

Not too bad. But I use rechargeables almost everywhere now, so not too much of an issue for me. Not sure how regulars hold up. You can run it on 'low beam' to save energy.

It lasts for years... Just keep the parts clean. You will need to buy chargers occasionally, but I really enjoy it...

If they are a 2 cell or 3 cell it should be fine. If it is higher than a 3 cell, reliability comes into question based on many people's units complaining of the unit failing when using it for such a purpose. I can only comment that it works well on usage up to a 2 cell lipo battery. If I remember right, it automatically times out if it charges for so long. I don't remember what that time duration is. I will check next time I go to charge a battery. So if you charge at a low amperage rate then there is a possibility it could time out and you would have to restart the charge cycle, a few times if you have a low charge rate battery. It has a max charging current limitation of 5A so be aware if you have high rate batteries capable of being charged between 5-10A you will still only be able to charge at a max of 5A. I've never used higher than 3A charging current.

I have this set, two chargers and 4 batteries. I can say I beat the crap out of these for the last 6 years doing home projects, subjected them to things I probably shouldn't have, and they're still going strong. "Heavy usage" is difficult to judge, but I'd say I'd could kill a battery in an hour with my heavy usage, maybe less if I really tried. I just leave a battery on the charger and swap them whenever I need to. I'll add that for my usage, battery life has never been an issue (but if I'm going up on the roof I do bring a spare battery). However, I wouldn't recommend them for a pro.

I have had mine for several months now without any problems, still works great but I don't use it daily.
