why does it discharge device

I have not experienced myCharge Summit discharging my phone. Sorry I cannot help you with this question.

I have bought 15 of these as gifts and we've not had this happened. Can you explain more what you mean as discharge?

There is off switch on the bottom. There are no leads that discharge. You have to come in contact with the individual. Read my review more closely before you make this choice.

The unit is not damaged when reversing current, but the meter does not display the reversed current. I have used this when charging and discharging my LiPo's. With my wiring set up while cycling I can read total discharge, but not re-charge. The display isn't blank under those circumstances, it just doesn't change.

Man, no idea. Did you get a power surge or something like that recently? I keep mine (and all electronics like this) on a suppressor protected circuit. Not much help for you now, though. You have my sympathies.

Very good question. I have not done a complete discharge test on the unit. However, to give some idea, I ran a new unit right out of the box for about 20 minutes. It was still working. I then charged the unit at the rate of one squeeze per second for 60 seconds and then ran the unit for 30 minutes. It was still producing light. I hope this helps.

If you have the water discharge connect to a external pipe, then the connection was loose. This will be the best guess from me.

I don' know. I believe letting/not letting them discharge is NOT an issue with this type (they don't have the ghost charge problems other models do) . I recharge mine when they still have life left and haven't noticed a shortened lifespan, but haven't done a formal experiment.

It tries to back itself up and untangle itself. If not it will beep and make noise at you and give an error code. If you are not there to fix it, it will sit and wait. Then I would just untangle it and then let it recharge.

The cord is on the discharge side. Meaning it's on the side the air will blow out.

The device needs to be charged when it has exhausted its ability to charge. It can be recharged multiple times without any loss of efficiency.

I have found that it will retain a charge longer than one day but it does slowly discharge. I would suggest that this be used as a last resort to provide limited supplemental power to a device. It is not very powerful.

A lot, an exact number is hard for me to say but I have had my other one a couple months now and it has been discharged several times (at least 20-25 1 sec stuns) showing my family and friends (luckily I haven't had to actually use it yet), but the discharge is still very loud, powerful, and luminous, and it is still on it's first initial charging. I will probably charge it again soon though, since I've been using it here and there for demonstrations, it probably could use a little juice.

You attach the charging or balance tap of the battery to this device. Do not connect the discharge tap.

I used all parts to ensure the device was properly and safely installed. I would think it is there to prevent any accidental sparking from getting out of the device in the event of a wiring malfunction. When in doubt, follow the instructions OR send it back to the company. Good luck......

Egads, people. These devices shunt a surge to ground, they aren't a fireball trap. Virtually all problems encountered will be a result of inadequate grounding, or some other installation problem.

I think it's just because the battery is fully or almost fully charged. You can try to use it for a while then recharge to make sure.

mine does the same thing, don't know why it was designed this way. maybe the manufacturer could explain this.
