How long does this hold a charge? Do I need to keep the charging base plugged in all the time, or just every few days? Thanks!

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 charge it once a month, but I don't use it quite often. It all depends how often you use it.

When we first got it ours did the same thing it just needed a full charge, not sure how long that would be because after it kept doing this same thing to me I basically just left it charging for two days. Though it doesn't really seem to have a long battery life to begin with. If that doesn't help I'm not sure, but it does take a long time to charge and without a full charge it goes dead very fast. Hope that helps.

I usually plug it in overnight. I think it takes a few hours to charge. It depends on how low the battery is when you charge it.

It lasts for about a month using it twice daily for 2 minutes....the power does decline a little by the end of the month. So, if you want a strong charge all the time maybe charge it every 2-3 weeks?

Hi Eric, I keep this charged and stored in my computer case. The longest I've had it charged without using it was three weeks. It seemed to have kept a full charge during that time. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure how long it takes to fully charge; I've left it charging for up to two days and the charging light never shut off. My guess for how long actually it takes to charge is like half a day or something, but that's pure speculation. And to answer the other question: Yes, as long as you're reasonably careful.

Initially I charged it for 4 hours. That's supposed to last for 2 weeks or longer, as I was informed; however I have to charge it regularly for at least 2 hours.

I'll guess a few hours, if you use it a lot. I keep mine sitting in the charger all the time, though.

I do not know how many days it holds a charge but I have had mine fully charged and unplugged for a month now and it is still fully charged as I checked it yesterday. Hope this helps.

The manufacturer suggest keeping the unit plugged in since it has an automatic charger that keeps the unit charged without overcharging. The other models they recommend charging immediately after use but do not provide a shelf life for the charge.

without charging, it lasts a few day (but i don't use my phone much). i don't even remember when i bought it, so it's lasted that long and still works

I don't use it every day. But it seems to last a week or longer. I plug it in over night and it's charged back up. I've been very pleased with the photo quality as well.

I charge it in my phone everyday, only way I do, the battery life has been great, no issues, I would say battery life is at least a 3rd or so better then factory battery, hope this helps you.

It really depends on how old the charger (actually the battery inside) is. I got mine 2 years ago, and it would no longer hold anything higher than 11 volts even after being plugged in for 3 days. So I went ahead and bought a replacement battery from Ebay (~$27), and now keeps it charged every 30 days. I leave mine in the vehicle, so I can use it when I need it the most.

You can go quite awhile once charged...I think at least a month if not more. You did remind me to check mine though since it has been awhile since I charged it! ;)I've never kept it plugged in though...only plugged in overnight to charge it up and it holds a charge for a good duration of time!

I've had mine for over a year. I just keep it on the charging base, use it, and put it back. I have never drained the battery, and I've noticed no drop in battery life with it being on the charging base 24/7.
