Is it correct that the device can be left plugged into the mains charger indefinitely without overcharging the internal battery?

I'd not assume it's safe to leave it plugged in unless you see a statement saying that it is. In fact many manuals will say "Don't charge for more than 24 hours" or "Don't overcharge" showing that you shouldn't leave it on. If your thinking of that so it has a routine "fresh charge" that you don't need to think about doing regularly I'd get a timer that turns it on for just 15 minutes a day and/or a regulated power supply (like the Schumacher PC-6 or Coleman powerchill cooler AC supply) that won't "overcharge" it.

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.

From what I read in the instructions, it was safe to leave it on the charger continuously. However the blue light is supposed to go off every so often, which mine does. So far I've had no issues with storing it that way.

I can't honestly answer that due to I leave mine plugged in all the time, sorry

You can leave it plugged in using a usb cable with a plug in adapter at the wall, similar to a lot of devices now that charge via usb cable. Just leave it plugged in and it will operate off electricity and keep the battery charged. Be aware that on mine the water in one speaker quit "dancing". Not sure what this was related to but probably not a power issue but defective.

Yes, you can. When the unit is fully charged, it cuts off from the charging mechanism. Mine is always plugged in, and ready to go, when needed. Happy screw driving. Does'nt it seem logical? Otherwise, it would be useless when immediately needed. Go for it!!

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.

Yes, no problem. Recommended so you don't run out. I keep it plugged in when using.

Yes, I use a battery tender etc a small charger that will not over charge any battery .

It shouldn't, it's designed to be a charger/conditioner and you should be able to leave it on 24/7, it'll microcharge enough to keep the battery at 100%. Most of these trickle chargers/conditioners are designed that way. And it says so in the description. That being said I haven't tried it 1st hand.

I would say not necessary, it's your choice. It stays charged even when its not in use.

Yes, you can leave it connected all of the time. It'll automatically stop charging when the battery is full. But why would you want to? The charger is always converting 110v AC house current to 12v DC battery charging current. That produces heat and wastes electricity (aka $$$). I unplug mine when the light goes green meaning the battery is charged.

Yes, I keep mine plugged in so it never needs recharging...doesn't make a difference.

No, the battery cannot be overcharged. But I would not leave it on 'charge' indefinitely.

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.

I don't recall reading anything that warns you about overcharging. It plugs into the usb port of your computer and charges rather quickly. I have left it plugged in after it was fully charged and it didn't cause any problem that I am aware of.
