Will it drain my battery if accidently left plugged in?

depends on if your 12V outlet stays live when you take the key out of the ignition. If it turns off, like most cars, then the seat heater will turn off also. But if your outlet always has power, then yes, it will drain your battery.

Depends on how your car's aux plug works. In my truck, the aux plug stays powered even when the truck is off and key is removed so yes, the seat warmer will continue to heat and drain my battery in my truck. However, in my Benz, when the key is turned off, there is no power to the aux plug so it will not drain the battery. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. If left plugged in, your battery will be discharged. Here's a tip: Attach a shoestring or a chain along with a clip, to the plug in wire of the seat warmer. Then.....after you plug in the seat warmer to your cig lighter, attach the clip to your ignition key ring. Then...when you shut off your ignition, that clip will remind you to pull the plug from your cig lighter. Capeesh?

On the plus side, it heats up very quickly, gets nice and warm and I usually unplug it before I arrive at my destination so I don't have to worry about forgetting to unplug it. It is a great value.

YES!!! There is no on/off switch so you MUST disconnect. I did not and the battery was dead on Thanksgiving.

I plug it in to read codes. I guess it could be left plugged in but I'm not sure.

Absolutely not. Unit operates when plugged . Once you unplug ,if turned on ,starts operating using the batteries.

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/

I don't think so. I left it plugged in by mistake when I parked the car and the diffuser and car were both fine when I came back.

No. As soon as you plug in the charger, your phone/stuff will do an emergency shutdown. All that happens to my stuff atleast.

yes you leave it plugged in when not using. I have had 3 of them now thy are great for jumping vehicles. recharges fairly fast.

I leave mine plugged in to the car charger all the time. I can not speak to removing the battery, since I believe it is sealed. But it works great for streaming the music apps on my phone.

Not always, would burn it up. I do leave it plugged up sometimes when I use it if power gets low with no problem.

You could unscrew the bottom and disconnect the battery for a minute. I haven't done that with this product, but if you are handy, you should be fine unless the stupid battery is soldered directly to something. It should have a plug but I wouldn't know.

Yes. I have been using mine like I use my laptop - just plug it back in no matter how much has been discharged.

Assuming your car doesn't send power to the 12v outlet when it is off (and most don't) it won't drain your battery. I left mine plugged in until it died and never had any issues.

Do not leave it plugged in! I did and my battery is now dead. It turns out to be VERY expensive to change the battery b/c you must send it back to the manufacturer to do so. There are some good tips here on preserving the battery life that I really wish I had known beforehand. I'm currently trying to decide if it is worthwhile to replace the battery or not.http://1866uselady.com/show.php/en/online_store_2

I leave mine plugged in all the time when not in use. The battery hasn't been a problem for me.

I have never noticed an issue with it draining the batterys. I usually plug it in after each use.

I have accidentally left my unit on after charging my cell phone. I came back hours later and found the Power Bank was still on, warm, and in need of a short charge. Based on this experience I would assume, yes. Although it may not lose all its power, expect it to stay on and potentially lose some power.
