Does the battery hold a full charge for several months without use, or does it require constant charging?

We use it daily so no down time. I think the key is its a lithium batt. I have a portable drill with a lithium batt, it can sit for a month or so and no waiting to recharge, just go to work. Even though it costs a little more I will only buy tools with lithium power. Just bought another one for our son today on amazonwill be used to blow down around his pool. Hope this helps.

I have been using regularly so have not seen any degradation. Battery has a really nice built in monitor. Just push button and it shows from 1 to 4 amount of charge. I have found this to be accurate on use and remaining charge. Other lithium-ion tools I have show very little degradation over time.

This tool has a lithium battery, which will hold a charge for several months without use. It is recommended that the lithium battery is NOT to be left on the plugged-in battery charger for storage; rather, once it has been charged, it should be removed from the charger & stored on the tool itself or some other place. It's also recommended that lithium batteries should not be subjected to freezing temperatures, so if you live in a cold climate area, the battery should be brought inside & stored in a room-temperature environment.

Sadly, I'm not able to answer that question adequately at this time. I haven't had mine long enough to know. As a habit, I do remove the battery once I'm done with it. But I use mine until all charge is down and then have a full charge ready to go for the next time and "that" charge appears to hold when I use it.

Definitely months. I bought mine Sept 2014. I never used it. Never charged the batteries. Then needed it Mar 2015 - 6 months later - and it worked! This was without ever charging it. So whatever charge the batteries came with lasted 6 months. So I can definitely say the charge lasts for months.

I have never removed this battery since I bought it and it has received several charges. i try not to leave it on the charger since I have heard, cell batteries in general, do not do well when left on the charger at a full charge.No specific issues with this specific battery however.

Long term I cannot answer your question, because I just recently bought it. But the one I have has kept a full charge for over two weeks when not being used. Hope this helps.

It seems to hold its charge for a long time. I haven't charged it in a couple of weeks and shows a full charge.

Mine has stayed charged for several weeks at a time; I know for at least a month.

Yes and the battery has a long duty cycle between recharges. If this battery is like the 12 volt version, it will hold its charge for a year after charging if it is not used.

it lasts as long as you dont use it. the battery does not lose its charge once it is charged

Once charged it holds for a very long time. We have ours on our sailboat for late night anchoring adventures, and it has held a good charge for months. We've never had to replace the battery.

I use this battery as the backup power source on a cabin alarm system. I generally change it out once a year just for security reasons although in the past they have stayed in place for over two years and still functioned fine when tested. I realize there is not a continual drain on the battery for what I am using it.

This model has a Li battery, so it should be good for months (but I haven't had it long enough to verify that). It definitely holds a full charge for several weeks. Lithium batteries can be charged anytime.

The battery is very dependable and long lasting as long as you remember to turn it off between uses; the good news is it charges very quickly. I've used it for up to four all day presentations without recharging if I follow that parameter (turning it off). otherwise, it's continually trying to find Bluetooth, which would result in a discharged battery.

I have had it only a few months and it's holding a full charge and working well. I expect with proper care the unit should function for many years.

No. I charged it once when I first got it and used it in May. It has held its charge since and I used it 3 times in a week in November and it is still fully charged.

I have had mine now for a few months and I haven't had to change the battery that came with it.

Sould but where batteries are concerned I don't like to rely on continuous charging over a long period of time. Charge, chweck state of battery and shut off for a month. Batteries in good condition don't need continuous charging.

In my experience, it does not lose power when not used for weeks. I do not know how much longer it will hold a charge.
