do you charge with the battery on or off?

Also I have used it on a dead battery already and it worked fine. Well worth it

If you mean the unit itself yes. All you do is open up the flap and get an extension cord to charge it. The lights will all light up when done

I don't believe it makes a difference on or off as long as there is no load on the battery, but I charge it in the off position and it always takes a full charge and works perfectly when needed as a air pump or jump starter.

Charge with battery on "OFF." B&D; recommends charging it after every use. Also, charge it once a month, whether you use it or not. I charge it on the 1st of the month, so not to forget to do it. Previous Jump Starters I've owned had self-destructed after the charge trickled out completely and could not be recharged. Do this regularly and the unit will last a long time.

There's an on switch and needs to be "ON" to start the battery. Beware of this unit though. The tire inflator only lasted through a couple of uses and then stopped working. I wouldn't recommend buying it at all.

I highly recommend that you do not buy this unit, if you already have it try and take it back or sell it. I had mine for about a year and it went kaput. It never jumped a battery, only thing it was good for was pumping up tires, and it don't even do that anymore. Definitely don't ever let it go more than a few weeks without juicing it up again. If that unit goes dead it wont recharge. I have been very unhappy with my purchase. I wont ever be buying another B&D; ever again. Hope I didn't discourage you, just trying to give you heads up on this thingy.

You don't have to remove the battery. Set it on the base and it charges as long as it's plugged in.

I charge it with the usb. It doesn't last long. I am going to return it. Doesn't really work good if needed while out.

Thank you for contacting Battery World. When charging via USB or via Sunlight, you should keep the Charger's Switch in the OFF position. If you were to keep it ON you would be draining the charger of any power that it has stored up. When charging a mobile/digital device is when you would turn the switch to the ON position.

The battery is built in. Plug the cord in to charge. Once charged can use without the cord. You can also use while its charging with the cord plugged in

Yes, they do need to be on to charge. Turn them off when they will not be used for awhile.

Do you charge it with a cord? Because I would rather just keep it on the cord if so instead of worrying about charging it.

After charging, you need to turn the monitor off with the switch in the back. Alternately, if this switch is off - the monitor won't charge at all. If you leave the switch on after charging - it will discharge the battery slowly. So the proper sequence is: plug in charger, turn on monitor with rear switch (LED should light up red on front), After charge is done (LED turns green) turn off switch in back.

It charges in both positions, on or off. :-) If it is totally dead, it is best to charge it for a few minutes in the off position. Especially if you want to charge and play it at the same time.

You charge it while it's in the mower. I assume you can remove the battery if you want to, but we never did.

No. There is no on/off switch. Its a battery that can either be plugged in, or not plugged in. Pressing the red square turns on a light that tells you the charge status.

I have typically charged my battery outside of the camera. It comes with a charger as well. I have also forgotten to unplug the camera after transferring pictures and found the batter to be fully charged while connected. I believe it works both ways.

If you turn it on while it is charging, the battery icon that it has in the top right corner will cycle between three bars flashing and when all three bars are visible and no longer flashing, it is fully charged. Just so you know, when you charge it while it is off, the battery icon doesn't appear but it still does charge.

you can use it while charging , it takes longer to fully recharge but it does recharge while being used

You can charge it with the case on. I charge it every night with the case still on. There is an open space on the bottom.

Yes to both. This is a great camera. Just plug the battery and adapter into any wall socket to charge. When the green light is on it is ready.

I charge it normally, USB through the phone. With one always on the charger to swap out when needed.
