Do you have to charge the battery every night, is it easy to plug in for someone with arthritis?

Hi Daren, Your question is a hard one to answer because of the variables. While I personally would charge the batteries every night, you only have to charge them when the battery indicator goes into the "yellow" range (indicating the need for a charge. An overnight charge should last all day under normal use. the big question is, what is normal use? That depends on how much you weigh, will it be driven indoors or outside, on paved walkways or on grass, uphill, level or downhill...and how many hours you use it in a day. So...It should last you all day and as a matter of habit I would charge it every night (it has circuitry to prevent overcharging). It's easy to plug in and shouldn't be an issue for people with Arthritis...but...I don't know how bad you arthritis is. Do you have trouble plugging things into a regular electrical outlet? I hope my answer helps you. Sincerely, George Callens MediDri

The charge does decay. If you charge it over night it could get you out of a pinch during the day.

I left mine charging overnight and it was fine, the battery lasts longer then what I expected.

I have not seen any difference in sleep or arthritis, so I do not know if it's worth it in general. You should be able to use it on any kind of bed as long as there is another electrical outlet for it.

I charge mine every month the battery last quite awhile. I use the light as I'm coming out of work at night..I have purchased several of these for my children.

I charge mine overnight about once every 6 months. Never had a problem doing that. It's an 'emergency' light that gets used to illuminate dark closets, garage projects, or use when the lights to out (i.e. rarely). Doing this charge cycle has (in my opinion) never damaged the battery and the light is always bright and lasts a long time when I need it.

I just plug mine in the night before a trip, it has a green flashing light that tells you it's charging and when complete. Just like a drill battery. It's easy as heck to install too. The only complaint from me is when I buy something called a portable printer, I expect it to all ready have a battery unit in it.

I gave mine to my husband. He uses it everyday and charges it every night and he has never had a problem with it. Well worth the purchase.

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

I just plug it into the wall outlet. Haven't used batteries because I hate paying for them. The unit is quite light though and has a great handle if you need to transport it.

As others have said I didn't have a problem. However I did charge it over night. The battery life is rather short.

Yes, I plug it in every night and sometimes leave it on in the day. My mom plugs hers in the bathroom, draws mosquitoes to the light.

It comes with a small USB plug in pretty small and it auto connects once it is turned on. That's it pretty easy to use has good battery life as well.

It is plug in, and it is wonderful!!! I have arthritis in my fingers, and often have tendonitis in my hands, so I no longer unscrew jar lids by hand. This has been a life saver!

No, just plug it in and you're good to go. The new battery lasts longer and doesn't need to be recharged as often.

No it does not according to the information on the label. This was recommended to me by my pain lab to help with arthritis. As they told me it does not work over night but will give some relief in the long run and I have noticed some differance after 2 or 3 months.
