Short Answer: Yes, you can keep it plugged in between uses.I tend to just keep it plugged in, if the charger is plugged in but not plugged into another device then it wont use any power. I do know that when a vehicle is off it will usually shut off as well, though one of the sockets in my Altima stays on so you can charge things while the vehicle is turned off.

Yes: You can't use it while it is charging. There is a - and a + symbol by the handle. When it needs to be recharged, the light flickers. I hope this helps.

The car charger will draw current from your car's battery. Depending on the cigarette lighter plug in your car that you use, some will allow things to still draw power when the car is shut off, some will not. If you find one that is still providing power when the car is shut off, you can leave the maglite plugged in, but if it requires a big charge it may drain too much of your battery. I would have some jumper cables handy the first time I tried it.

You can just use it as a regular QI charger, that's what I do in my car. It has the added benefit of staying on (with the battery) when I turn the car off. Hope this helps!

When you plug in to recharge it you can use it, so I would say yes. I use it both ways. The charge lasts a long time as it had never run out on me. Lights on the side indicate level of power left which is helpful. I love this device!

NO. You will need a USB - car charger. Look under Lumina car charger. Good Luck :-)

Yes, you can. I used it to recharge to my car battery. It will automatically shutoff when your battery is full, and turn itself back on if the charge in the battery drops.

I can use mine while charging. The charge time varies depending on whether you are using it or not. It should be the same as your original charger.

I'm not sure if you are suppose to, but I never do. There is a green light that comes on when you plug it in and blinks while charging. it turns sold when charging complete and goes out completely when unplugged from car.

I can't answer that because I don't own a car . however yes it does work while plugged in to wall socket....you can use it while it's charging.

Not unless you turn it on. It will operate normally while charging. There is a small red charging indicator inside the lantern light stack when charging so you will see that when the light is turned off.Hope this helps. JWC

I do not unplug mine whether in use or not. However my power is only on when the car is on.

No it cannot be used while charging, however it is very good for up close work. Adjustable intensity as well as beam

No you have to turn it on and off each time or it will die. You can plug in and use it but for some reason mine doesnt charge as fast as the battery on it is depleted. I think it could just be my charger though

YES. Although I've never used this while charging in a car, I don't see why that form of use/charging would be any different from use/charging while at home (i.e., plugged into an AC wall outlet). I routinely use this while it's plugged-in and charging. Although it seems to hold a charge for MANY days, if not months, when not in use.....I most often have not used it in a while, so that when I do use it, I charge it at the same time so that by the time I'm finished...it's also fully charged. Hope this helps.

You could; but it would only charge when the light switch was on. And it would turn on when you turned the lights switch to 'off'.
