How long will a fully charged XL retain it's charge? One reviewer reports it will loose it's charge before being used to charge a device.

Mine has stayed charged for several weeks at a time; I know for at least a month.

Not that I've experienced. I carry it around in my satchel and use it only when I have no other options for charging, which is rare. Every time I take it out it is exactly charged to where I left it. Doesn't seem to matter if that's 1 week or 6 months later, it's always as charged as I left it the last time.

The one I have has set on my desk for over 30 days and has only dropped one light. Charged back up to full in a short time.

Mine holds charge for at least a week. It does not provide 8 charges of a cell phone though. 3-4 is a more reasonable number.

Great question. I jut checked mine - haven't used mine in over two months. Still full charge

I charged it for 12 hrs and it was fully charged. after that initial charge it depends on how long I use it. I do not charge it after every use because I have always read that is not good for rechargeables. and I do not leave it plugged in either.

I havent tried to be honest. The longest so far is couple of days, but i havent lost anything out of it so far. I think if u keep it for a month u might lose just a bar of its light indicator which could account for 2 to 5% of its overall due to its internal connections lost. Which is nornal for these kind of devices. But i normally keep it on the charge when i am not using it at home.

I've left mine charging for several days, and have never had performance issues with the battery. I know that's purely anecdotal, but its not something I've ever had an issue with.

It needs to be charged a full 24 hours when you first get it. If you charge it less than that the first time, the charges won't last as long. A battery can have a memory. If you charge it a short time, you will only be able to use it for short times. Be patient and charge it for 24 hours first, after that keep it in the stand and it will stay charged. In my kit there's a bright yellow taped instruction on the box that held the charging base where it says to charge it a full 24 hours before using the first time or the warranty is void.

It preserves the charge for a while. Have not used it for over a month and then charge the phone and it worked great.

I've only charged mine once and forgot about it for a couple weeks, I just used it yesterday to type this review and it appeared to be nowhere near empty so I'd say it holds it's charge very well. Back when I used it more frequently I could go two days on a single 4 hour charge.

? I have never used it that long. I have let it sit for hours even overnight and it still had charge the next day so I would Think it would last for four hours straight.

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!

Hi Barbara,Yes, it will have somewhat of a charge, but not fully. You will need to let it charge for at least 8 hours. After that, you will be good to go. Please note: You will need to charge it once a month for only 1 to 2 hours. It's to keep it fully charged.I bought one for my wife and she loves the since of security it gives, just knowing its there. By the way; the Red Light will never go out while charging. I really do hope this helps out.R/Dwayne (spelling corrections)

I have left mine for a month at a time and it has held a full charge, no problems!

I don't know exactly, I just plug it, and leave it. whenever I remember it, I take it off the charge, and it'll be fully charged! If you put it in charge with less than %5 battery life, it'll take longer to be fully charged. I usually charge it whenever I use it, I plug it before I sleep, next morning will be fully charged!

I will try to answer y our question- I leave it on the charger several hours and then it lasts for daysafter I use it again.I usually just put it on the charger at night and when I wake in the morning and use it. It just seemseasier to to it at night.

I don't have a definitive answer for that, but I have charged mine many times, and it seems to stop when the charge is complete.

Depends. If the device is powered off it will almost always charge (slowly). If it's turned on it might either charge *very* slowly, or not at all, or even still lose charge if you're actually using the device. (You'll see the latter with high-end phones or tablets if you are running a 3D-rendered game -- the device will be using more power than any USB charger can safely deliver, so the battery will slowly drain even if it's plugged in. With a crappy charger this can happen even if the device isn't doing much.)

yes it will not overcharge, once it drops below full charge it brings it back up. I have three of these and always leave them in with no problems

It actually last awhile on a full charge. I've had mine last as little as a 10 days to lasting a full month and longer, depending on how much you use it. I was going to test out the using it while charging, but I seem to have misplaced the cord. This charge is still going from around 3 weeks or so ago. Give me 2 weeks and I tend to start losing things.Give me 2 weeks and I tend to start losing things. I'll find it and post back.
