Yes we are pulling the lighter plug out prior to getting out of the car. We just feel safer this way. Two part - avoiding possible over heating and battery drainage. We are just cautious folks. These do work. We will be using them this coming fall/winter season for 2nd time. So far so good for first season. Hope this helps.

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

Haven't done that kind of research on the device, but to prevent draining, you could always unplug the battery from the light. Mine has been unplugged for months. I have yet to charge the battery since first receiving it, but connected the light yesterday and it still as bright as ever and runs all four phases without issue (high, low, intermittent flash, off).

I very seldom use my phone too- and if you leave it on... the battery will still run down. Probably at least every 3rd day you will have to recharge it. Seems to use more also if you use the vibration. At least that is my experience.

I have done it once. First try unplugging it and disconnecting it for 10-20 seconds. This might help you not have to reset it.

No I've charged it time and time again with it off. Its best that it's turned off during such process due to the fact in its on state it will be corresponding as a active device.

I dont believe it damages the battery, Ive had no issues with mine. No need to drain the battery, atlhough it is recommended you recharge the battery when its @ 20%, bu just pushing the button that is located on the back part of the case. Hope that helps.

I have never noticed an issue with it draining the batterys. I usually plug it in after each use.

I have 2 of these and have only seen increased power drain in 2 situations - leaving it on in low power mode, then placing it somewhere (i.e. under the desktop, on a bookcase shelf) that makes it use more power to search for the wireless signal (happens to cell-phones also). And on one of mine I have seen it dropped and the case near the battery "popped" slightly open, apparently reducing battery contact. Snapped the case back together and it fixed the issue. We just got into the habit of plugging in the charger at night and seem to get 6.5 to 8.5 hours on the battery during the day.

I don't think it draws that much, but why keep it on when not in use? Just plug it in to check then disconnect, I think would be best.

I see the first answer of this question mentioned that it should be disconnected as soon as it has full charge or almost full charge. I understood the different way. It can be charging for 24/7 continuously without unplug until you are going to use it. So which method is Righr?

I have the same problem with this, as does my friend who also bought one. After we each sent one back we just figured it was a flaw in the printer and we just deal with it. It is a good idea to shut it off when you shut down for the day. It seems to stay connected for several hours before it loses the connection. I keep mine off until I am going to need it and when I turn it on it works fine. Not ideal but it avoids the frustration

Short answer is no. You could disconnect the power to it. I keep it hidden, but if the need arises, I can reach and hit the reconnect button.

Not that it damages the product, just that people have the tendency of leaving the battery to be constantly connected to the power source even when both the battery and the qi device are fully charged. Hope that clarifies, have a nice weekend.

Hasn't been a problem for me but the more I read, the more I see owners having 'issues' with power-related matters (not fully charging, etc.). The battery on the unit itself seems to perform well under stated times and (for me) is slow to recharge. Good luck with it.

Yes, you can disconnect the battery. In fact, you have to disconnect the battery when you keep it for charging. Disconnecting battery is very simple.

I always remember to loosen the battery compartment for storage. That way it doesn't drain your battery.
