Can I keep it pluged instead of recharging every time? Needed it for ambiance music.

yes, you can. in that way you don't even have to worry about the battery running down. i had mine plugged on in my van and it played continuously.

I have and it doesn't seem to make any difference. I can still unplug it and take it with me.

Not necessary. It has an "Auto-off" feature, so you can leave it plugged in.

Yes, but then you must maintain the charge by keeping it plugged in or charging it periodically.

Yeah! So I've plugged mine in for a power source, but it takes batteries.However, it doesn't have a speaker/amp so you'd need to orchestrate a way to do that

You can leave it plugged in using a usb cable with a plug in adapter at the wall, similar to a lot of devices now that charge via usb cable. Just leave it plugged in and it will operate off electricity and keep the battery charged. Be aware that on mine the water in one speaker quit "dancing". Not sure what this was related to but probably not a power issue but defective.

I wouldnt leave it charged all the time. Could effect the life of the rechargeable battery.

Best to turn it off then charge it....don't let battery drain totally. I often use it plugged in when it's fully charged.

No you have to turn it on and off each time or it will die. You can plug in and use it but for some reason mine doesnt charge as fast as the battery on it is depleted. I think it could just be my charger though

yes it can be plugged in and just stay there. and yes this speaker from anker is awesome for the size, small enough to hide and sounds great like a nice stereo. ,

Yes, I leave mine plugged in all the time. It stays quite cool when not use.

I believe either is OK. I usually leave it plugged in during frequent use. For storage, I unplug then charge prior to use.

Yes. I use it that way all the time. My suspicion is that this shortens the battery life, but unlike most BT speakers, the battery can be replaced. I have not tried using the speaker plugged in and the battery removed. BTW, both the blue and red LED glow, so you get a purple glow from the unit.

hi it is corded so yes you have to plug it in everytime. it is not rechargeable..

Sure can! I have done it many times - charging while playing. If I want to do a straight charge with no playing going on, I will remove the flash drive and then plug in the charging cable - the light comes on both the blinking light and the screen light. I turn off the blinking light and when the screen light starts blinking the mini speaker is fully charged. I have experienced no problems with my mini speaker - hope this helps you.

I found out the hard way that you can not. Once the battery dues it won't charge and play at the same time. Also there is no warning that the battery is low. Best thing is just to charge it on a regular basis. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can. Just dry it with a towel and let it get completely dry before plugging it back in.

No. It comes with an adapter for the the built in rechargeable battery & you can play it while it's being recharged.
