Is it ok to store it on the plugged in charging base?

Just researched Hoover website: battery is a "Nickel Cadmium", AKA 'NiCad'. That said, it is best NOT to leave it on charger, as it will shorten battery life. Have said that, I will buy something that has lithium battery pack ('LiPo', LiOn', etc). They may cost slightly more, but they are far superior in performance and life expectancy. BTW, you CAN leave lithium packs on charger, altho it's really not necessary, as they KEEP their charge much longer than NiCads do.

Yes, I always store it on the plugged in charging base but I haven't had any problem yet.
231203
Yes, you really should if you want it ready to use when you are ready to use it.

I think I asked Hoover this question and answer was no. But to make sure, ask Hoover again.

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.

you can leave it plugged in as long as you like. the light changes color when it is finished charging. will need new usb cord though. it may also break if you are trying to recharge a high amp device. my GF uses it every other day, it gets pretty hot when charging her phone.

The unit is placed in the stand that contains the charger which is plugged in at all times. It can be left in there until the next brushing.

You *can* keep it plugged in, but it's not good for the battery. It's better to charge it, then let it run on battery. It warns you about 9 days before the battery goes (when you go to take your temp in the morning, you get a "BA09"... the next day "BA08" etc. But it still functions on those days. I think I charge mine overnight about once a month? So, you COULD leave it plugged in, and it would still function, but my understanding is that you'll reduce the longevity of the machine. (When you need to rely on the battery, the battery life might be compromised.)

if you are storing it for up to a month you probably want to keep it fully charged

You shouldn't be, but perhaps it is. Charging it is like handling a cell phone. Plug it in with the provided adapter until it is fully charged. Usage and charge times may vary but all that is subjective to how we use the device.

You're not supposed to leave it on the charger if it's plugged in. It will lose the battery life sooner. Only charge for four hours when needed.

It doesn't hurt to leave it plugged it for a few hours to a day after fully charging. Letting it drain completely does more damage to the battery. For a more complete answer read this http://www.howtogeek.com/169669/debunking-battery-life-myths-for-mobile-phones-tablets-and-laptops/

Yes I leave mine in the phone and charge through the normal chargers. I keep a spare charged up and in my pocket in case I need it.

Personally , I wouldn't recommend doing that .Follow the manufacturers manual on charging methods and you should get good service from the unit .

Yes, you can. I've tested the charger while connected to a Watt's Up power analyzer, and once the batteries reach a near-full charge, the amperage the charger pulls in begins to lower. Once the batteries are fully charged, the power analyzer shows 0A of current flowing between the wall adapter and the charging base, meaning the batteries are no longer drawing a charge and thereof are not overcharging. You'll be fine leaving them plugged in, though I wouldn't keep them plugged in for days on end just because you don't need them to trickle charge and lithium batteries have a very slow self-discharge when being stored between uses.

No, the directions say you shouldn't because it could overheat. But it charges very quickly (5-10 minutes) and stays charged for weeks.

Yes, absolutely. I keep mine in the charger plugged in when I'm not using it

I assume that would be ok, just keep it out of the weather. I leave mine plugged in for long periods of time, but mine is indoors.

Yes, the base plugs into a standard electrical outlet. I let mine charge overnight and then remove it from the charger and store it. Still works great.

Don't think so but it doesn't need it. I have had mine for quite a while and it works fine as long as I keep it on the charging base in between uses.
