I may use the trimmer once every week or two. Is it okay to leave the battery in the charger for this amount of time?

Yes. The manual states that you may leave it in the charger year round. Or you can unplug the charger once the battery has been fully charged. What I do is after the battery fully charges, I unplug the charger, then the day I plan on cutting my lawn,I plug it in to "top off" the battery. The manual also states that you should charge the battery at least once a year if you plan on leaving your charger unplugged.

I've owned mine for almost a month and use it every week. I always leave 1 of my 2 batteries in the charger between uses so that I always have a fully charged battery. The instruction manual says that's fine and so far, I have not seen any issues with doing so.

I just charge it when I'm done and take if off later in the day when the indicator shows that it's charged. I use the edger every day and still like it. And you don't have to buy the pre-strug reels. Just buy the same size string and wind it on. Much cheaper.

I would think so. I've only had a short time myself and have removed it after charging.

As far as I know, it should stop charging the battery when it's full. I'm planning on getting an extra battery to swap during trimming. After leaving in my battery for a full charge over a week, I didn't notice any drop in performance.

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.

My guess is it will last for 20 minutes of actual cutting if not more. Most of the time it outlasts me. You are not using it continuously like you do with a hedge trimmer. You will not be sorry you bought this product. If you are really concerned, buy a second battery and have it charging.

I charge it after each use, leaving the battery on the charger when not in use.

The phone's internal charger will allegedly keep it from overcharging and it generally is effective, however it is not smart to do as it tends to allow the battery to overheat and that will shorten the life of the battery eventually. Overnight on the charger every two or three days is best depending on your usage.

I wouldn't because it could shorten the life span of the battery. If you use it everyday, just charge at the end of the week.

I usually charge my battery overnight. I believe it took over 3 hours once when I wanted to use the trimmer during the day.

I assume so. The trimmer comes with a battery recharger that it sits in (like an electric razor). Charge lasts a good long time.

I never had to replace my battery in ten years of use. I would use it four or five times before charging. I believe it might be a chore to replace, if you have not done it before. If you will oil the blade every other use, it will stay sharp. I decided to just by a new razor instead of a replacement battery was a better option.

In many other devices, (razors, phones, etc.), it is generally recommended not to leave a battery on charge at all times, however since I have two batteries and chargers, I have no experience with leaving a spare battery in a charger at all times. I always check the charge status of a battery before starting a project and find at least one battery ready to go. The chargers are very quick in recharging a battery if it is required.

If you can last as long as this battery can, you will have gotten a lot of trimming done! I have worked with it for over two and a half hours. Then I will go inside to cool off. When I rest, I plug it into the charger. It picks up a good continuing charge in an hour. I have run the battery completely, twice in the one year that I have used it. It never slowly looses power. When the battery charge is gone, the trimmer stops immediately. On some models, there is a little indicator light that will warn you when you are getting low on battery. Direct answer to recharging completely: probably overnight. Recharging to use again that same day: probably an hour.

According to the instructions, it is ok to leave the battery in the charger after the battery has reached full charge. It has been my experience with DeWalt products that no harm has been done if you don't remove the battery from the charger until you ready to use it.

Hello, according to the manual "Battery should only be removed when trimmer is to be discarded. Do not attempt to replace battery. Insulate battery ends by covering with tape and/or place battery in a small plastic bag." You can see the documentation on this unit at: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?slg=en&ctn=XA4003/42

I normally use 3-4 times a day, and normally recharge about every 3 weeks. The meter will give you a warning that the battery is low and normally you will have a couple of days before having to charge.

My experience is that the battery has to have some charge. You cannot plug it in and use it if the battery is completely drained. Even when charging (plugged in) it will only last for a short while before the battery is too weak. So, I suppose the short answer is "no". This is a great trimmer and the best I've ever used.

Yes - Place on charger and remove after full charge. Worx WG255 is a good trimmer- would recommend.
