I travel a lot. Can I leave the rove unplugged for days at a time?

If the Rove is Shut Down, then it can be unplugged indefinitely, just like a desktop computer with no battery power. If you leave it in Hibernate mode, it should last at least a week unplugged. In Sleep mode, maybe a couple of days. Of course, to keep the battery in optimal condition you should use the Rove on battery until discharged at least once a month. If the battery is never drained, i.e. always left fully charged, its ability to hold a charge will deteriorate more rapidly than if it is discharged and recharged through use on a regular basis.

I Have many computers in my house and for years I always left them on. Turning them on and off can damage the Boot Sector Over Time. As for leaving the Envy Rove Unplugged. The Battery needs to be exercised to retain it's potential. (Use then recharge then use etc.) I would not leave it unplugged for to long a time.

You can leave it unplugged but the battery last 3 or 4 hour, after that it needs to be plugged so it can charge.

I use it primarily unplugged unless I am on for extended periods of time. Occasionally I have had too much data combined with long periods of use that require I plug it in because it gets so hot.

It's hard to say because I keep mine plugged in all the time and just place the brush in the base when I'm done. I haven't used the travel one yet.

I honestly suggest that you should not leave it there overnight so it will not over charge the battery itself. thanks

I usually leave it on, but when travelling I turn it off to conserve on the battery life.

It is easier to just leave it plugged in. You can distinguish between trips when your data is uploaded.

You can leave plugged in 24/7. Only operates when unit receives D C power from panel and A. C. power from grid

No, you can just bring the power cord when you travel. That's what I did while gone for 4 or 5 days but didn't ever use the cord due to great battery life.

You could leave the unit plugged in until you need it but it's not necessary. It holds a charge for a very long time. You won't be disappointed. I purchased this for my husband three years ago for Christmas. He still says this is his favorite present, EVER!

Yes, you can. When the unit is fully charged, it cuts off from the charging mechanism. Mine is always plugged in, and ready to go, when needed. Happy screw driving. Does'nt it seem logical? Otherwise, it would be useless when immediately needed. Go for it!!

Yes, no problem. Recommended so you don't run out. I keep it plugged in when using.

Yes, you can leave it connected all of the time. It'll automatically stop charging when the battery is full. But why would you want to? The charger is always converting 110v AC house current to 12v DC battery charging current. That produces heat and wastes electricity (aka $$$). I unplug mine when the light goes green meaning the battery is charged.

I can't answer that question in any certainty. But I do know that there a tendency for the battery to drain, and so for that reason I always unplug mine when not in use.

You can leave it on throughout your day of work, but you need to shut it off every night

I wouldn't unplug it, as you run the risk of forgetting to plug it back in.As you start using it, you can start defining locations as Business or Non Business ("private").Then the systems starts automatically defining trips as Business or Personal based upon your Start/Stop points.Also, if you travel from Client One, stop at the grocery store (for example), then continue on to Client Two, you can combine the two trips so that it only appears as Client One->Client Two.(You will need to manually adjust any extra miles you drove to get to the personal stop)

I believe either is OK. I usually leave it plugged in during frequent use. For storage, I unplug then charge prior to use.

Yes. Just keep it plugged in 24/7 and you wont have to worry about the battery going dead or having to reconnect it.
