Do you have to keep it on the charger when not in use or just charge prior to using? Thanks.

not sure. I don't think you need to keep it on the charger. I can try and let you know if you ask me in a week.

I recently bought one and yes you do need to charge it before you use it and yes it needs to be on why you charge. also you may need to flick the switch on the back that says super bright. I hope this helps

Hi there. Sorry for the delay on answering. The charger remains on even after full charge is applied to the battery.

In many other devices, (razors, phones, etc.), it is generally recommended not to leave a battery on charge at all times, however since I have two batteries and chargers, I have no experience with leaving a spare battery in a charger at all times. I always check the charge status of a battery before starting a project and find at least one battery ready to go. The chargers are very quick in recharging a battery if it is required.

I go ahead and charge it. I think you have to charge it now and then even if you don't use it.

When new it comes already charged. When charging you don't need to turn it on.

I leave the unit in the charger when not in use and have never had issues with battery life.

You can plug it in to recharge it, and I have used it while plugged in. I believe the instructions say not to do that, but it works.

No. You only need to charge when needed. I have only charged mine once in two years. And yes, I use it often.

From what I read in the instructions, it was safe to leave it on the charger continuously. However the blue light is supposed to go off every so often, which mine does. So far I've had no issues with storing it that way.

I use mine all the time for work, so it is in the charger when I am not using it. It does not stay in the charger longer than a day or so at anytime.

Do you leave your battery on the charger when it's fully charged ? If yes its probably won't keep a charge and needs to be replaced .

The instructions recommend fully charging before use. The battery does come with some charge in it typically.

Mine does not charge while being used. I assume it is not supposed to do so.

Do you charge it with a cord? Because I would rather just keep it on the cord if so instead of worrying about charging it.

Leaving the battery in after it's charged won't harm the charger but, it can shorten the life of the battery. Batteries need to be cycled between a full charge and discharge for a long life. A few hours won't harm anything but, I wouldn't recommend leaving it on the charger when not in use.

Yes it will still remain active while charging. Actually it's best to keep it on the charger while using cause if you don't the battery only last about an hour & and half or 2 hours.
