Charge at wil? Or let it run down for best battery life? Hey good folks, Do those of you with a full manual know if I can just plug this in every time I get home to make sure it is always charged?

Sure, plug it in when you get home each time. Make sure you leave it charging for the full 3 hours.

I just leave it charging after every ride. The light turns solid green when its done. That way I know I have a full charge for my next ride.

Yes, you can! Actually, when I am using it at home, I make sure it is always being charged so it is ready and fully charged anytime I have to walk out my house in a rush, which is 100% of the times I leave my house! Lol! Hope this works!

William, thanks for taking the time to respond. I will also let everyone know what kind of battery life we observe. Best of luck to you.ww

I let mine charge for several days, and it still never came on. Then I charged it for several more (with switch in off position), never worked.

Well I honestly charge mines all night long and the next day its ready to be used ....but I think the longer you charged it it will stay charged regardless of if the light is on , one time I left it on the charger for days and it stayed charged for a long time

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

Thank you MD! The 'not charging' is ok for me. We plan on using this at home only. Thanks again :-)

I charge mine overnight. It doesnt register a full charge. But it seems to work for a full charge.

I would recommend unplugging when not charging. I plug mine into the charger every couple of days while driving and it has never run the battery down dead.

It's all according to how much you use it. If you use it a lot you'll have to recharge it more often. Mine gets plugged in when I get home. I think it's something you'll have to see for yourself. BTW, I love mine. Hope this helps you.

When it arrived I installed it and let it charge in the base overnight. We've been using it daily ever since, leaving it in the charger between uses. Nothing special done other than the initial overnight charge. Just be sure anytime you put the headset in the charger, to seat the headset well into its mount and you see the blinking charge light and let it do its thing. No more blinking = fully charged, ready for use.Hopefully this battery will last as long as the original, we got about 5 years or more.

Honestly, I don't know. I plugged it up and left it overnight. It was charged the next morning and apps charging even at capacity. I've never had it go all the way down. I usually throw it on charge in my car on the way to our from work when it gets down about halfway. And u only do that to keep it at at last half charged.

You can go quite awhile once charged...I think at least a month if not more. You did remind me to check mine though since it has been awhile since I charged it! ;)I've never kept it plugged in though...only plugged in overnight to charge it up and it holds a charge for a good duration of time!

Add me to the list - not sure when it started, a few weeks ago we noticed it b/c we charged it and then it was dead. Figured it got bumped in wife's purse or hadn't charged long enough but now I've been trying to charge it and see the on/off cycling going on. No answer, just sympathy and hope for a fix!

Hey Mike, I just received mine a few days ago. I did charge it overnight, and when I woke up the next morning (and after 10 hours) the green light had gone off. Not sure why yours didn't.

You can charge that if you can get it to work. I was not able to charge a single battery with mine. It keeps shutting off like it is overloading or something. Total junk. Buy something better. You get wht you pay for.
