Does anyone know how much power is consumed by the pad when not charging? Do most of you just unplug the pad?

I just leave the pad plugged in all the time. I don't think it consumes much power.

I don't know how much power's consumed by it when not charging, but I leave it plugged in for easy charging. My guess is probably not as much as an alarm clock though.

You keep it plugged in and charging while not in use. When you are ready to use, simply unplug and it is ready to go. Very simple. Great machine.

The battery life has been pretty great for me. I've played Star Craft 2, a very resource-intensive game, for a few hours before plugging in. You might eventually consider a laptop cooling pad, as the small case can sometimes lead to overheating.

Dear Connor, Thank you for your interest in our products. We are sorry to tell you that our charging pad will not turn off automatically after your phone battery fully charged. If you use the charging pad on battery power, it will keep charging your phone and eventually drain the 6000mah QI wireless charging pad, so make sure you take your phone off and the pad aren't plugged in when it's fully charged. Any further questions you may have, we also can be contacted via this email: lugulake0direct@gmail.com. Thank you. Best Regards, LuguLake Direct Customer Service Team

I can honestly say it has yet to run out of battery in one session... meaning I have had at least 2hrs straight and no low battery warnings...I just plug it in overnight and its good to go in the morning... I also have a dock for it though I never used it...its very convenient has far as weight it feels like a actual notepad...Im sure the internet has how long these batteries are supposed to last but from personal experience I

I would recommend unplugging when not charging. I plug mine into the charger every couple of days while driving and it has never run the battery down dead.

I don't know. I have the laptop plugged in most of the time and only unplug it for travel or meetings. Never really kept track. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

You don't need the power if your Surface is fully charged. You will need the power only if you ran out of battery (when it comes below 5%).

I think they say not to use it plugged in, but the charging time is a short four hours and the charge lasts for many hours, so the power it uses without being plugged in is more than sufficient to tackle the job.

Unplug the unit from the power supply and the pad itself. Replug it in. Check the cords as well so they are impinged.Check for humidity levels in the room. Also, mine has been set for minimal time needed and not on the 8 hour settings. I also power it down every day. I don't wash it either.The instructions also stateto checky the connectivity. It also could be set at a too high of temperature.If not resolved by any of these methods, it needs either service from the sales staff or it is broken.

I'm not sure how much power the air uses but I have the last iPad and it completely drains the unit, so not great if consumption is anywhere close. Great for phones though.

I had the lap top plugged in I have had the lap top plugged in since I received it. I only tried to use it unplugged twice. Same results in 15 minutes the battery is showing a large amount of loss of power.

When you charge the device, it will be automatically turned off...you have to reconnect it after it is being charged!

I don't understand, cell phones, kindles and other devices that charge from a plug can not be all charge with the pad and not have to be plugged in. The kindle I have is starting to cost me more trying to have the plug fixed. im wondering is it really worth the money I payed for it. Its almost 2yrs old I don't think I can turn it back in for another one. (Frances husband, Donnie)

Did you follow the instructions and let it charge for 24 hours before first using it? I have my MBP set to "Better Battery Life" and sleep/turn off display after 15 minutes, in Energy Preferences. After watching 75 minutes of video over WI-FI on battery, and Bluetooth turned on for the mouse, I have about 30% battery life left. I don't think that's quite as good as the Apple battery when it's new, but I can live with it.

make sure you are closing all your apps before charging back up, press the "Recent apps" soft button (left of the home button) then press close all. clear your notifications as well, swipe down then press X under the sound bar. I've noticed that turning off wifi also cuts down on recharge time and greatly increased standby time when the tablet is not in use for hours at a time. i'll update this post with more info when i charge mine from 5-10% to full, as i haven't brought it down that far yet. keep in mind that this is quite a large capacity battery (9,500 mAh) hence the 13 hour use time without charging, compared to the recent iPad Air's 8,800 mAh/10 hour battery. its going to need some time to get back up to fully charged.
