Would it be ok to keep this pluged in when not in use too keep it topped off and ready and would this be the same with any other goal zero battery pac

I believe Goal Zero recommends to keep it plugged in or to at least pull it out and charge it monthly if not in use to keep it topped off. I would keep it indoors too instead of a garage as the temp can affect battery life as well. I have a bunch of Goal Zero Yeti 1250, 400 and extreme 350 and keep them indoors, charged regularly and have had no problems for years with them.

We have done it both ways with success, but most often keep just the battery plugged in so there's no chance of it being run down when we need it. So far, that has not been a problem.

You could leave the unit plugged in until you need it but it's not necessary. It holds a charge for a very long time. You won't be disappointed. I purchased this for my husband three years ago for Christmas. He still says this is his favorite present, EVER!

That is entirely up to you. I leave it plugged in on long trips to monitor performance, bit take it out when we get home. It is used mostly as a code reader for my son's truck.

It's recommended to always keep the clippers plugged in when not in use; the instructions state that this will keep the unit charged and more importantly will not overcharge. This increases the longevity of the batteries instead of continually letting them fully deplete.

yes you leave it plugged in when not using. I have had 3 of them now thy are great for jumping vehicles. recharges fairly fast.

Yes, I try to keep mine plugged in as much as possible. You do have to make sure it is in the off position (Radio Off)for the charge to hold. Mine has held a charge with just the batteries for 6 days and about 25 - 30 (volume dependent) hours of use - before failure. Better than most radios for reception - -when you see the antenna you will understand. Use it for yard work with an fm transmitter and take it deep in the woods for the local stations 70+ miles away. Durable, not the greatest fidelity, but adequate...small size makes it easy to pack anywhere...use it nearly every day!

We leave plugged in most of the time but it holds a charge indefinetly unplugged. I hope it helps.

I leave mine plugged in at all times. I have two right now that are always plugged in.

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.

I too leave mine plugged in. However, when I have left it out for a little while, always charges right back up. I don't see how the battery can be replaced. I have had mine several years now and cannot complain at all about how it works.

Its been my experience that leaveing it plugged in after dark the charge likes to feed back through the carge controler and heat up why i dont know but it does i would reccomend unplugging it as soon as it gets daark just to be safe..it does get kinda hot!

You keep it plugged in and charging while not in use. When you are ready to use, simply unplug and it is ready to go. Very simple. Great machine.

I honestly suggest that you should not leave it there overnight so it will not over charge the battery itself. thanks

Yes, you leave it plugged in all the time. I have had the unit for four months and it has been working fine. I have not had a problem with my car battery since I installed it. Hope you have the same results.

I Have many computers in my house and for years I always left them on.Turning them on and off can damage the Boot Sector Over Time.As for leaving the Envy Rove Unplugged. The Battery needs to be exercised to retain it's potential.(Use then recharge then use etc.) I would not leave it unplugged for to long a time.

You *can* keep it plugged in, but it's not good for the battery. It's better to charge it, then let it run on battery. It warns you about 9 days before the battery goes (when you go to take your temp in the morning, you get a "BA09"... the next day "BA08" etc. But it still functions on those days. I think I charge mine overnight about once a month? So, you COULD leave it plugged in, and it would still function, but my understanding is that you'll reduce the longevity of the machine. (When you need to rely on the battery, the battery life might be compromised.)
