Battery Life: Hello, I am no techie and would not know how to hotwire this device, but can I charge this device at home, and throw it under the seat for tracking purposes??

Yes, indeed it will work for about 6-8 hours. We can change the frequency from 1 minute to 3 minutes which should resolve your issue.

I didn't experience the high battery drain mentioned in the other answer but, the connection does wiggle some, enough to cause dismay. I found this device satisfactory ONLY when it sits still on a nearby table. When in a pocket, it's range is severely limited. I moved on to a different device with no regrets.

A lot of that depends on how old the battery is. I have done that with no problems I could see. I would do it if I was streaming.

nope... not without hacking it...But the batteries last FOREVER. Just pop a rechargeable in it and charge 'er up every so often.But I understand the desire for a wall-mounted version. If you're dead set on that, this is not your baby

I can plug it into my power source under the dash and put the charger behind my seat. I have a small truck. I love this gadget.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

Normal use is to have the trackpad (or keyboard) in the charger at all times, so you never have to consciously charge the battery -- it just stays charged all the time. It's not a "wired" trackpad, in that you can't "unplug it" to turn it off, but essentially it's "insert and never worry about batteries".

Yes it can be. However, honestly after having this Sendy for a while now, I see it will not hold a full charge for longer than a week or two. I've been wanting to do an Update Review but I don't know how to do that. Also, just to charge it fully took like 16 hours. I cannot recommend this product now. Maybe I just got a defective one? I don't know as I purchased it because of good reviews.

Justb wire hot to hot and ground to ground and it'll work fine. That's how I set mine up. I did not wire the charge lines together, afraid of poor connections and possible chargedr damage. Have to charge them independently.

This device isn't designed to charge anything. That being said, I don't think it -could- charge anything even if you tried. I too was worried about the USB male port on it sticking out too far and breaking, but just keep it somewhere where there's not a whole lot that can happen to it (like, not in your pocket)

In the directions that came with my device, there is no reference to charging the battery, only to replacing it. In specific reference to the cable, the directions speak only of transferring data to a computer, not about charging the battery.

that is a good question... i assume that the usage/volt is essentially so low that it would be no different than a car charger-your radio left on in a car would use more energy. i think that it would be a good thing to always get in the habit of unplugging the unit. there are wireless transmitter sold on ebay from the UK and sellers claim they work in the US but I have yet to purchase one. its really personal preference I suppose.

Sure, plug it in when you get home each time. Make sure you leave it charging for the full 3 hours.

Yes you can however their might be better wifi routers can do accomplish this. The TP-LINK TL-WR702N can run off of a cell phone charger/usb port/external battery pack...you know the battery packs designed to charge your cell phones on the go. My car has a 110 volt plug in the back so this d-link one is really easy for me to use. Also d-link makes others that run off of the battery packs designed to charge your cell phone...netgear makes one too...I had this exact travel router and loved it. I never tried the app to use it as ipad/iPhone storage but in ap mode, router mode, it worked great. Note the range on these are designed for hotel rooms so if you expect to get signal from really far away it's not going to happen. Also I want to say this is a 150 mbps model, I just bought the netgear model pr2000 since it's 300 mbps but I haven't had a change to try it out. In all honesty you probably won't notice a difference I just thought I'd let you know.

SORRY!! I reported that the device didn't work earlier.....I placed the unit in an east-facing window...AND IT WAS COMPLETELY RECHARGED AFTER THREE DAYS!!! I HADN'T USED IT IN ABOUT A YEAR.

Amy, That's not one of the "things" you can monitor and keep track of. I had a quick search but I'm not seeing any devices that will do this. Doesn't mean one does not exist, just I could not find it. Nigel.

That is exactly what I use it for. I've only had it for a month now but I charged it once and i have class two times a week and I still have full battery indication. I just plug in my IPad or IPhone and run my Zumba playlist and the party is on. I love it and there is no need for an AC power outlet!
