Lithium Ion batteries prefer less charging and not for extended periods of time. There is a lot of info on the net about them if you have time to google it

probably not but I don't see the need to keep it plugged in all the time. just unplug it when the blue lights are lit.

Yes If you read the short little manual it tells you it will hold a charge up to three months. Depending on the amount of use of course. Any rechargeable item you should not try to leave in any longer than it takes to charge the item. Don't charge again until empty or preparing for a trip to ensure a good charge.

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

I've had this for over 6 months and I've always kept it on the charger when its not being used. I use it daily and haven't had any problems with the battery.

It seems to. I leave it charging overnight and to my knowledge nothing wrong happens. What I don't like is the charger remains warm, maybe 100-110 deg F, when it is disconnected from the battery , but still plugged into the wall outlet.

Absolutely! I keep mine in my car for weeks at a time, and when it dies I plug it into the cigarette lighter

It is not intended for automobiles. It's a good idea but It is designed for indoor use. Should not be a safety issue but the vibration and extreme temperatures in a car could shorten the life of the charger.

I leave my mag light in charger holder all of the time and have done it for years. No problem here. All of my buddies do the same.

I leave mine on the charger overnight and sometimes longer and have had no problems.

I've kept the charger in my pocket while charging and have never had a problem with it. Sure, it gets warm but not that bad.

Simply get in the habit of parking it on the charger. After all, it has to be someplace. Good luck!

I have had zero problems with mine and have actually bought two car chargers as well. Great product in my opinion. I haven't had anything break or failures to charge. Unless you are abusing this thing I can't see how it would have some of the problems people mention.

I put it in the headset and I leave it on the charger every night. I didn't charge it before I used it.

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.

I've been using this charger for about 6 months. I put it on when I'm not going to be using the car for a while. When the light is green, the battery is fully charged. You can leave it on the car, and it will keep a trickle charge going to keep the battery charged if your not planning to drive the car often. I'm using this on a 2005 645Ci. My mechanic said that I should make at least a 20 mile trip per week to keep the battery charged through the alternator. I figure that if I'm driving less than that I should leave the charger on the car.

I use my charger an my car charger, and I haven't had any problems. Worked fine for me

Leaving the battery in after it's charged won't harm the charger but, it can shorten the life of the battery. Batteries need to be cycled between a full charge and discharge for a long life. A few hours won't harm anything but, I wouldn't recommend leaving it on the charger when not in use.

It shouldn't, it's designed to be a charger/conditioner and you should be able to leave it on 24/7, it'll microcharge enough to keep the battery at 100%. Most of these trickle chargers/conditioners are designed that way. And it says so in the description. That being said I haven't tried it 1st hand.
