When the controller display reaches 100% . Does it stay there after it's disconnected from the battery?

The 100% really means nothing when read from the meter. Battery capacity isn't measured like that. A full battery is 12.7V with no load attached, and no external charging applied. You drive the voltage above this to help reverse the chemical process, and get the sulfates detached from the plates by utilizing as much potential as possible.

Are you referring to the meter that's connected to this controller? If so, that's a curious feature. I've seen my batteries reach 100% for short times, but the moment the sun (or light) begins to diminish so will the 100%. In no time at all it'll tumble down to 90, 80% and lower. Also, be mindful of "parasitic drains" on your system. As the batteries lose a bit of voltage (all by themselves) that 100% reading will go down.

Not at all! I keep my controls at charge all the time and I haven't noticed lifespan shortening.

If your controller dies or otherwise stops sending signals to the console, all play continues and it tells you to reconnect the controller. It can be aggravating, but it's right in line with the feel of the game, so I personally have few complaints. If you are concerned about your controller dying mid-combat, I recommend having a spare battery pack or charged controller nearby when you play.

The backlit display is white. It stays on for a few seconds, various options in time, but does not stay on permanently. I assume it would burn out after a while.

It will charge the controller slowly. If you play games on the controller while charging. It will eventually turn off on you.

no. however if it stays plugged in, the controller should draw power from the console.

It could just be the product. Sometimes I have the same issue with mine. Over time the connection between the battery and stand has become less consistent in keeping a steady charge. I spend a little too much time trying to find a "sweet spot" where my controllers will stay docked and charged. Maybe contacting Energizer for warranty information would be a good move.

Paused, YES! I think it counts up because I remember deciding to make it count down. BTW I dropped the other day and it went blank. I was sure I busted it and I opened the battery compartment and reseated the battery and viola' it worked again! Quality product!!

This unit will stay on, but after several idle minutes it will go into a power saver mode, the LCD readout will go dim and will stay that way until the unit is used again. If you turn the unit off, the readout goes into clock mode displaying the current time. For the price this is a very good item!

If you turn the power off completely, it will be fine for whenever you play next, which is what I do. However, if you leave it in "clock" mode or use it for walking, it will continue to use battery.

They mean the controller itself. And since it has an auto turn-off feature, so you won't have to charge it often.

No, the charger has an automatic shutoff so it won't keep charging. It's designed to hold the controllers until you are ready to use.

Yes it does stay on the entire time. It will not drain your battery if you leave it plugged in. Me personally I just unplug mine. It will save the station you programmed. Hope this helps. I enjoy mine.

Mine does the same. It is just to indicate a full charge and will turn off eventually. The power used to use that LED is so minimal it has little to no effect on the power stations battery.

I've not tried that directly, but I suspect the controller is not smart enough to remember it's settings without power, ie, you unplug, it resets to off.

The backlight part of the display does not stay on when the unit is turned off. However, there is a display of time and some other misc info that remains displayed as long as there is power to the unit.

Unless you're using the device full time and you have the display at max brightness the battery lasts for several days. On standby mine has gone 2 1/2 weeks before going to below 10% power. Hope this helps.
