CAN I leave it pluged into my cigarette lighter all the time.

Yes, but I wouldn't suggest it as the battery lasts about 7 days in standby and 20 hours talk time. I would just put it on the charger every 3 to 5 days.

I wouldn't. When your car isn't running it doesn't charge and I would think there's a possibility it might discharge. You can get a good, full charge by plugging it into a USB port on your computer for about 3-4 hours and the charge should last about a month

Actually my husband uses it in his car, and he does tend to leave it plugged in. I myself don't recommend it.

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

Yes you can plug it in the cig lighter and you can use your laptop for as long as you want. Also it has 2 USB port. It's pretty bad ass

I don't think you should leave it plugged in. I charge it for an hour before a planned use but when I simply grabbed it and ran, it had enough juice to start an 8 cylinder jeep.

Yes, you can leave it connected all of the time. It'll automatically stop charging when the battery is full. But why would you want to? The charger is always converting 110v AC house current to 12v DC battery charging current. That produces heat and wastes electricity (aka $$$). I unplug mine when the light goes green meaning the battery is charged.

If your lighter plug turns on and off with the ignition switch and you leave the power to the unit in the on position then yes.

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

Yes you could sort of. Not all cigarette lighters are 'live' when you turn off your car. It seems to me it about 50-50 depending on the car brand and model. So if you cigarette lighter IS NOT 'live' when you turn off the car this this would not work.

I would guess that it depends on the vehicle. Some leave the power to those adapters active all the time. If your device stops charging once you have shut off your vehicle then it should be fine to leave it plugged in.

According to the manual the unit can be left plugged in when it is not in use. If not left continuously plugged in it should be charged after each use and once a month otherwise.

No. This is for your home. Or any where that a "cig lighter style outlet" is needed and not present. So lets say u have a car charger for ur cell phone. U could plug the cell charger into this device if it was plugged in say at home in the house.I use it for my portable xm radio that plugs into my boat/ car. Using this I can plug it in at home or anywhere else I travel for parties ect and dont have to find a car outlet.

I leave mine plugged in all the time with the blue light still on and have had no problems but my car doesn't sit for more than a couple days without being started.

I haven't tested it to it's limit but I've cleaned my car, my boyfriends car and my bathroom corners with no issues. I would keep plugged in when not in use anyway.

It's up to you. It does not hurt the charger to leave it plugged in. But if you want to unplug it, that's OK too. I leave mine plugged in for convenience.

I believe so, although I haven't had any issues just leaving mine plugged in all the time.

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

You can plug this into a wall outlet, not to the cigarette lighter in a car.
