Does anyone know if it will hurt the unit or shorten the product life if I keep it continually charging between rounds?

I love my Garmin and after a round of golf, I leave it on charge but when it is fully charged, I unplug it but I don't see a problem if you want to keep it on charge until you play again. Hope that helps you.

i have mainly used ni-cad batteries prior to this new weedeatter...ive had it a few months now...i am careful to let the used batter cool down, and also, i have learned that its best to leave the charged battery in the charging unit, so that it STAYS charged...im new with litium, but i began to realize that ni-cad batteries cannot be left charged yet not used sitting waiting to be used, and they also cannot be recharged while they are warm...as a result of bad luck with them, i let this one cool down totally...i feel im able to use it as long as i want, although my goal will be to have another back up battery. i hope you enjoy yours as much as i do... i have mainly used ni-cad batteries prior to this new weedeatter...ive had it a few months now...i am careful to let the used batter cool down, and also, i have learned that its best to leave the charged battery in the charging unit, so that it STAYS charged...im new with litium, but i began to realize that ni-cad batteries cannot be left charged yet not used sitting waiting to be used, and they also cannot be recharged while they are warm...as a result of bad luck with them, i let this one cool down totally...i feel im able to use it as long as i want, although my goal will be to have... » Read More i have mainly used ni-cad batteries prior to this new weedeatter...ive had it a few months now...i am careful to let the used batter cool down, and also, i have learned that its best to leave the charged battery in the charging unit, so that it STAYS charged...im new with litium, but i began to realize that ni-cad batteries cannot be left charged yet not used sitting waiting to be used, and they also cannot be recharged while they are warm...as a result of bad luck with them, i let this one cool down totally...i feel im able to use it as long as i want, although my goal will be to have another back up battery. i hope you enjoy yours as much as i do... « Show Less

I believe It will not harm the battery if it is left in charger all the time, because when Green Light on the charger is on it stops charging.

you have to be sure its entirely charged before a round. biggest issue has been the accuracy.

From my experience I wouldn't attempt to go over an hour. I had three batteries charged and ready at all times. When one would get low I would change it and put the used one on the charger. If you are shooting continuously go AC if you can't use AC keep an eye on your battery level. I hope this is helpful.

I leave mine on a charger at all times and it doesn't appear to damage or effect performance. perhaps there is some battery expert out there who can offer a more educated response.

As far as I know, no. It is advised, however, that you periodically 'shake them up' so that the dry powder inside doesn't get too settled. As I understand it, so long a the gage reads 'fully charged' and the unit has not been damaged, it should be OK.

I think there is a factory recommended "duty cycle" for solder guns. I don't know of any manufacturer who will advise long term heavy usage. It will eventually burn out. They can generate a tremendous amount of dangerous heat internally.

Only owed unit for about three months and battery indicator says I still have a lot of strength left. If you use range finder 40 times each round your battery should last about 250 rounds but I would think a third of that would probably be more realistic. Just put a second battery in your bag and you will be good to go.

I wouldnt leave it charged all the time. Could effect the life of the rechargeable battery.

No: you should keep the gun charged at all times, that keeps the seals in the valves from deteriorating.

I don' know. I believe letting/not letting them discharge is NOT an issue with this type (they don't have the ghost charge problems other models do) . I recharge mine when they still have life left and haven't noticed a shortened lifespan, but haven't done a formal experiment.

I never thought about this. I keep my batteries charging all the time. I haven't noticed a problem. Yet, that is. Christine S may have a good suggestion.

I havent had any issues with the charger draining the batteries Ive left it unpluged for 6 weeks and didn't lose a volt on my guage. You might want to check to see if anything else might be draining you batteries its uncommon for a charger to do that.

Sorry, I have never had that problem with mine.. Mine holds it's charge for a long time.

Yes. This gun charges when plugged in and works well, if it's not shipped via UPS. If it's shipped by UPS, then it's most likely going to be damaged in some way.

Dear Kevin M,This is greeting from Loftek Direct.The amp and voltage of the input are 5A and 1V. It can run continuously when you plug in. Technically, the lithium battery will not damaged in this way. But if you transfer a big file when you plug in at the same time (if it need a really long time), it will generate external heat and may be reduce the battery life. By the way, the MW2-21's battery life is about 500 rounds.
