Will leaving the battery on the charger between use decrase the battery life?

I leave the batt on charge. Have had the unit for about 5 months and have noted no degradation. Unit is " lightly" utilized as sweeper for 40x20 patio and 60 foot walkway.

You can leave batteries in the charger. I try not to make a habit of it because I'm not sure how it affects the life of the batteries. If you leave them in, at least you can be assured they will be ready for use.

There is no need to worry about charging time. Just insert the battery into the charging station and when the battery is fully charged the charging stops. There is no harm done by leaving the battery in the charging station indefinitely

Store your batteries fully charged. Also, try to avoid letting lithium ion batteries (like the ones in cell phones) discharge completely after the initial 4-5 cycle "break in" period.. Repeatedly draining them all the way can shorten battery life. Most battery chargers have a protection circuit built in so leaving a battery in the charger past the time it is fully charged will not harm it.

You can, this charger will maintain the battery and never overcharge or destroys the battery

You should never leave a battery in a charger unattended. There is always a slim chance of a battery or charger going bad, violently.

I believe It will not harm the battery if it is left in charger all the time, because when Green Light on the charger is on it stops charging.

Yes, the charger has the logic to stop charging once the battery is fully charged. This is a good plan, especially if you do not use the tool often as you will always have a charged-up battery when you do need to use the tool.

the instructions say if a battery is left in the charger for more than 20 hours, the charger switches off power to that battery(s). But as others have saidthe best thing to do is remove the battery after the charging is complete.

We leave our batteries on the chargers all the time they are not is use. So far, there have been no significant detrimental effects.

I do not. I did not want to run the risk of any possible damage to the battery or charger. The battery holds its charge, so there is no need.

Yes. The device can still be used while on the charger. Charging does not affect the usage at all.

I leave mine plugged in all the time when not in use. The battery hasn't been a problem for me.

It doesn't hurt to leave it plugged it for a few hours to a day after fully charging. Letting it drain completely does more damage to the battery. For a more complete answer read this http://www.howtogeek.com/169669/debunking-battery-life-myths-for-mobile-phones-tablets-and-laptops/

You do not have to worry about the time of the charge. The charger has automatic battery sensing circuitry and will shut off the charge when completed. I have had no problems the batteries and charger.

Yes. You could leave it on for short intervals but the battery will be depeleted more quickly.

I think so. I have left mine in the charger for several hours past full charge with no ill effects, but usually I remove the battery when the light turns green.
