If you leave it on overnight for an electric blanket that auto-shuts after 3 hours, will the socket stay energized the entire night and lose charge?

I have accidentally left my unit on after charging my cell phone. I came back hours later and found the Power Bank was still on, warm, and in need of a short charge. Based on this experience I would assume, yes. Although it may not lose all its power, expect it to stay on and potentially lose some power.

I think it is the ON position. On mine, if it is ON and I plug it in, the light goes off. And if I pull it out of the socket, simulating a power outage, the light comes on. If it is OFF/Charge position, you can pull it out of the socket and nothing happens. If it is in the night light/charge position, the night light is always on. The only think I am not sure of is if it getting charged when it is in the ON position and plugged in.Sorry, I noticed too late that geeker answered the same way.

It doesn't have an automatic shut off so if you turn it on it'll just go and go until the battery goes dead. I'm not sure how many hours of battery time it's good for but I've left mine on all night long on several occasions and it's still going strong!

I left mine charging overnight and it was fine, the battery lasts longer then what I expected.

Overnight and then I leave it in the charger all the time except for when I'm using it. You can't overcharge it.

Sorry for my slow response. I dont remember automatic shut off...in fact I remember worrying I might forget to unplug it and drain my battery. But the warmth was worth the risk!

It turns off automatically after 10 hours and when ours worked, we never had an issue, like clock work, it turned off. The problem is, the blanket we bought only lasted 2 months and then stopped working. I bought another one that worked 1 day and stopped working and returned it for a 3rd one that has been working for 2 weeks now - fingers crossed it doesn't stop working.

I was talking with another guy that owns this and he says he plugs it in overnight and has been doing this for 2 years and it has worked great and it's still working for him to this day so I think it's safe to say this can be left plugged in overnight.

I have left mine connected without being plugged in for a few hours without a problem. But I don't know about permanently I have never done that.

I don't have the problem of power loss yet so I wouldn't know. I did try to manually shut power off and turn on from the main power panel and the sockets come up un-powered.

No, but the LED bulb supposedly draws the least power of all. Unfortunately, the blue light stays on when plugged in and I don't believe it turns off when fully charged. Right now, I used mine yesterday, and they tell you not to leave it plugged in for re-charge for more than 4-6 hours, I think, and then you're supposed to run it until it needs a re-charge [it audibly produces less noise and the motor slows]. Does this help??

Yes. It will shut down the 4 led status lights even if left in charge. So no overcharge or heating issue. Unplugged it will last a very long time I tested a week in stand by and still all 4 LEDs on. Good product . very happy with it

I don't know if I have it plugged into a switched outlet so I can't really answer your question. If I unplug it and carry from the bedroom to my study and plug it in it is not still on. However, all you have to do is touch the power switch to turn it back on. The main feature I like is that it shuts itself off at either 30 or 60 minute intervals if I hit the correct switch and this is really good for reading at night when I fall asleep.

More than 2 hours actually. I left mine unplugged running at max brightness overnight to see how long the battery will last. I was up for more than 5 hours before falling asleep and it was still running. Light at max wasn't as bright compared to when it was plugged in though. There's most likely a circuit preventing the battery from over discharging as it turns on then off for some time still before I plugged it back in.

Depends how powerful the charger is You should leave it charging overnight--min.4-8 hours--

I keep mine in the outlet charging all the time, so if there is a power outage, it will go on automatically for you, and no fumbling for a light.

Don't forget to re-read the directions. The plug has to be in the blanket before you plug it into the electrical socket. You are best off waiting at least 2 full minutes unplugged to reset anything in there that can be reset. It's never happened to me, but that's what I would do to try to fix it. If that didn't work I would call Customer service at Sunbeam. Good luck!
