Can this charger stay plugged into the car while the motor isn't running?

Yes. But if you are asking if it will charge your devices without the motor running, that would depend on whether or not your car's power outlet is wired directly to the battery or to the ignition circuit. The latter would require the key to be in the "on" position.

Yes you can, I never take it out of my truck. You would have to turn the key to the ACC mark in order for it to work with the engine off. However please keep in mind that some vehicles still provide power to the outputs eve if the key is out. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

I kept it plugged into my car all the time, so I am not sure whether this caused the issue with it not working after a short period of time.

In my Chevy pickup the plug is always hot, even with the key out of the ignition. So with a device plugged into the charger it will pull some power. Also the charger by itself will burn a tiny amount of power since it is converting DC voltage. This loss is tiny compared to a car battery but is an additional load if you don't run the car for an extended period. Its surprising how all the loads can add up and eventually deaden the battery.

Yes I leave it plugged in all the time but of course when the car is off it is not providing ant power.

I keep the charger in the charger base when I'm not using the vacuum. The charger will die quickly when not being charged. Perhaps the instructions say something.

I have a 2 port charger and I've never had a problem leaving it plugged in when not in use. I hope this helps.

you don't connect the motor to a battery charger you connect the motor to a battery..you could damage the charger as well as the motor

No, the charger has an automatic shutoff so it won't keep charging. It's designed to hold the controllers until you are ready to use.

Yes, but because of the voltage requirements make sure you use the device while the vehicle is running or you risk quickly depleting the car's battery.

Either unplug the charger or wait until the car is running to turn it on. There aren't really any other options.

Yes, I have mine attached to my battery in my boat 24/7 (at least in the summer) and use the boat at the same time. Don't expect this charger to come anywhere close to charging your battery while using the trolling motor tho. Connect it and forget it.

As long as you keep the battery charger hooked up to your battery between uses, you should have no problems. I left it on my battery without using my car for over six months and it started like new. Good product.

Yes you can as long as the car is running. It will not charge if the ignition is off! it uses no more power than a phone charger and heats up nice, not too hot like some!

Yes, absolutely. I keep mine in the charger plugged in when I'm not using it

YeS...well no, but I use a 12V inverted for a car plug and the original charger... and somehow make them stay in good enough to charge...ubcan figure that out

Yes, just like any other charger but you can leave it hooked up after charging is completed. If the dead battery is no good, nothing will help.

Yes, the pad needs to be plugged in to work. If you tried to charge in the car, it would slide off the pad. Don't think car would be practical.

Leaving the charger plugged into the wall is fine so long as the connector end is kept safe from water, pinching etc. You should not leave the device plugged in all the time as this is not so good for the battery. If you never plan to run the device on the battery, you are probably safe leaving it charge all the time.

I haven't tested it to it's limit but I've cleaned my car, my boyfriends car and my bathroom corners with no issues. I would keep plugged in when not in use anyway.

It has a cooling fan that runs constantly so I unplug it. The batteries seem to hold a charge for a long time so I don't bother leaving it plugged in. Most of the time it rides in the trunk of the car anyway. Take care
