Is it waterproof, so can be left plugged in during rain?

It doesn't look waterproof to me. I had mine attached to my air compressor inside last winter, this winter i plugged it in and it shorted out and popped the breaker. It's a melted mess now.

Should be fine if it happens to get wet. I wouldn't leave it in the rain for long though.

I don't ride much in the rain, but it seems to be highly tolerant to rain, if not waterproof. There is a rubber o-ring seal on the battery pack, a rubber plug cover on charge port, the and the power switch is also rubber.

I have mine on the outside but under a roof on the deck, we use it year round out there. I would say no to any electrical product being used in rain.

not waterproof... don't take it under water. it's good for riding in the rain though, all openings are sealed with rubber. ie the button is rubber, the USB charge opening has a rubber stopper, and the battery opening has a rubber seal.

I believe it is because it has the flip cover top. However if an electronic device is plugged in perhaps I'd have concern as to whether waterproof. ?? Not sure.

It would probably be okay, but I would make sure it wouldn't be where rain could get to it. I know the specs say it can be used outdoors, but I wouldn't chance it getting wet. Also, your USB cable has to be plugged in to a USB port within 25'.

Mine is out in the rain and works just fine, the connections are waterproof....

No, it's not waterproof. If you must keep it dry, wrap it in a water-proof garbage bag.

The manufacturer doesn't make any claims about the unit being waterproof, and I've never left mine out in the rain. The individual panels are covered with some sort of clear plastic material that looks like it would keep out water from the face, but the entire rest of the unit is made of a woven nylon fabric that doesn't look like it would keep out moisture at all. In fact it look like it might just sponge it up and hold it, exposing the wires that are inside connecting the four panels, as well as the 5v USB ports in inside the pouch to water. My guess is that letting it get wet (even in a light rain) would be a bad thing. I would not even recommend leaving it out over night where dew is a factor.

I would consider this to be as weatherproof as any electronic device. It might tolerate a small amount of moisture and maybe even a downpour for a short period if you quickly dry it off. It is not submersible.

Yes, I found that it is waterproof. I used it during a very rainy weekend and it was great.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

It usually is protected by a panel on the hook-up post, I don't think I would be comfortable leaving it in standing water or where rain would directly contact it. hope this helps

The electric controller plug in is not suppose to get wet (rained on). So when not in use, it is best to unplug it and bring in under shelter. The unit itself stays out.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe I did read that somewhere that it is but I cannot find the documentation I had with it. However, I believe it would be waterproof in a light rain. I do not believe it would be water proof in a heavy rain. It also does not have a floor in it so when the ground around it gets wet, that would eventually seep into the "dry" ground area under the "tent".

I would say not for long-term use. If you wanted to plug it in outside while you were there then yes but not for the direct sun or weather /rain
