Can I safely keep the AC adapter connected to the battery pack without overcharging the batteries?

It has been my experience that it is best to disconnect the battery once it is fully charged. I don't think it will be unsafe, just not good for the batteries.

Hi Cynthia,A battery pack can be used. If the electric is out for less than an hour, it probably won't matter. DON'T open the lid during that time... What you want to search is "uninterruptible power supply," or UPS

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

Mine is plugged in all the time and seems to know when to stop and keep from overcharging. I have it attached to my receiver with velcro.

I honestly have not tried that. I used it for the first time last weekend for 2 items I am selling on ebay so that I can purchase usps postage on paypal. I did not leave it plugged in. when batteries are involved I take out the batteries as well if I will not be using it any time soon, to avoid it messing up the equipment.

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

Yes. Just keep it plugged in 24/7 and you wont have to worry about the battery going dead or having to reconnect it.

You need a charge-controller device (not cheap) that has 3-phase input. It will rectify the AC and regulate the amount of juice going to the batteries so they don't overcharge.

Yes sometimes, but just when it is first turned on. Not that much of a problem. Still love the adapter. Saves a lot on batteries.

mine is just batteries...i'm sure there is an ac adapter that is compatible with this...

I purchased the "PowerLine Universal AC Adapter" (using 6Volt) which worked well for over a year and then eventually would not always receive power, and only use it with batteries now.

I really really really want to flame you but I won't. The adapter whether it be the car plug or anything else is to power the unit and power the unit only. It will automatically turn on when it has power and when it loses power it will then prompt you that it will shut off in 10 seconds unless you tell it to rely on the battery power. So the unit itself is NOT a battery charger and will rely on the external power source first and once that external source is cut it will rely on battery power.

It should work fine if you don't exceed the max current draw of the AC adapter.

Yes, the batteries can be used instead of the AC Adaptor, I do not know how long they will last though.

The answer is yes but I do not use that the AC adaptor. I use an external charger as the AC adaptor limits me from using the equipment while the battery is being charged.

No - the adapter is just an alternate power supply. When using the adapter, the auto-off is disabled (it stays on until you turn it off).

I do not think so. The ac adapter is just another power source. They do sell rechargeable batteries for it but you have to take them out and recharge them.
