Can you leave the unit plugged in until you need to use it? Does the internal charger have smart enough circuitry to go into a "float" mode?

Well actually onceit is charge enough you're good enough to use it more than a few time you don't have to keep it charge always just make sure you charge hundred percent and your good for at least week !! And it's all depends how you use it!! But believe it or not I drive a tow truck and I sometime I don't even charge for a month and it still has enough boost to start the car !! I hope this answers your question!!!

The unit has a "smart" charger built into it. The charger will charge the intrernal battery to a full charge and then automatically switch to a "trickle charge" mode to maintain the battery charge. Yes, you can leave it plugged into 110V indefinitely - nothing bad will happen to the battery. In fact the user manual that comes with the unit recommends keeping it plugged in between uses.

I assume But only for a month or two, after which it will only make a good door stop or paperweight... A buzzing paperweight

The manual reads yes. It is a 3 amp charger but can be stored plugged in.Cord not included.

I don't know. I charged & put it in my truck. I haven't even looked @ it since then. I don't even know if it's holding a strong charge.

No need to leave it plugged in !Just like any electronic device only plugged it when the charge is low "I jumped 4 cars on one charge and it can do more!!"No sure about the float mode sorry !

You could leave the unit plugged in until you need it but it's not necessary. It holds a charge for a very long time. You won't be disappointed. I purchased this for my husband three years ago for Christmas. He still says this is his favorite present, EVER!

No you can't leave it in the charger indefinitely and as far as I am aware there is NO drill charger anywhere that allows that. Even the fancier Li-Ion chargers that shut off, won't keep the Li-Ion battery topped off. However, since Li-Ion self discharges much slower, it would seem to be the better battery chemistry to suit your needs.

I have a 2 port charger and I've never had a problem leaving it plugged in when not in use. I hope this helps.

I leave mine on the charger 24 X 7. Charging prior to a necessary use would, I think, not be a viable option. Just plug it in and forget it. It will be ready when you need it.

Doesnt need to be put back into the charging unit. Can be lay on the ground.

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.

No, don't leave it plugged in. It will drain the battery. The green light is cool but it drains the battery slowly but surely.

No, you have to plug it in the charge it, but then you unplug it when you use it.

Yes...according to a Clarasonic representative it is similar to a toothbrush charger. The unit can remain in the charger and plugged in all the time. You can not overcharge it.

Yes you can leave it on the charger. My father leaves his on the charger and only takes it off when he needs to use it.

The unit does not need to be turned on. When plugged into a device it comes on automatic. You can charge it any time. I wait until its depleted an than charge it.

This is a smart charger and as such it senses when to charge the battery and when not to with its built in circuitry. So yes, you could leave it hooked up to the battery indefinitely with no damage. Many people do this in the off season when a battery is sitting and not being used. Otherwise, you could be purchasing a new battery if it sits to long and discharges to the point that it can't recharge.

I would contact Shark for the answer to that question. I unplug the charging stand until a charge is needed.
1494959
yes, you can......however I notice a buzzing sound when its plugged in. charging is so quick that keeping plugged in is unnecessary

Nope! Pop it in, leave it in, and you can still charge your phone with a wall charger like normal whenever you want.

Do you mean to use a float charger to charge this unit [instead of using its regular AC cord]? Please clarify your question.

"Float/maintenance charging" is that voltage is continuously applied to maintain the battery in a fully charged state. This is not the case for this unit, since it is not specified or implied in the Instruction Manual. To properly maintain this unit, it is recommended that it be charged (w/switch in the OFF position) "immediately after each use, and once a month if not used. Failure to do this may," WILL "reduce the battery life dramatically." I have had other boosters that, when not maintained this way, lost complete charge and could not be recharged of restored.
