Do you leave the battery charger connected to GM200 when not in use?

yes, but I don't think it is needed. It seems to have a fairly large reserve of energy. I have not yet run it the point of being totally drained so my opinion is based on the speed and power of the unit on repeated uses. NOTE: I don't recommend buying this product. It is ridiculously overpriced! There is another model without the wall rack that is very much less expensive. Since the charger (wall wart type) is plugged directly into the unit itself there is no real need for the rack except for convenience. It's a very high price for 10 cents worth of plastic!

Doesn't really matter; it's a piece of crap that will only last a few months anyway. We bought two, one as a gift for our daughter and one for us. Neither lasted a year.

Actually the first time I used mine the battery smoked and would have caught fire if left unattended! So I returned it only to learn it is no longer made. So I would not leave it connected!

Yes but generally speaking the manufacturer recommends leaving it in the charger only until it is fully charged.

Yes, you can. When the unit is fully charged, it cuts off from the charging mechanism. Mine is always plugged in, and ready to go, when needed. Happy screw driving. Does'nt it seem logical? Otherwise, it would be useless when immediately needed. Go for it!!

I just leave the charger plugged in and leave it on all the time. It's gaffa taped to the back of the mixer. Seems fine.

You can leave batteries in the charger. I try not to make a habit of it because I'm not sure how it affects the life of the batteries. If you leave them in, at least you can be assured they will be ready for use.

NO, however, as stated in the manual; In the "Automatic Charging Mode" When an automatic charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintenance mode automatically after the battery is charged. Hope this helps you.

No, don't leave it plugged in. It will drain the battery. The green light is cool but it drains the battery slowly but surely.

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

I leave mine mounted in my truck. I don't leave it charging, for I'm afraid it might damage it. The good thing is, when it gets low, it flashes and warns you the battery is low. I then just simply plug it in and let it charge. It holds a charge for a good while.

Wagan's Solar Cube charger is an actual floating charger, so you can leave it plugged into the AC outlet when not in use. Hope that helps!

You probably could but why would you want to? Because the BatteryMinder has some pretty sensitive electronics to monitor the battery charge level and temperature, I would not recommend leaving it attached to the battery when you start the vehical... at least I wouldn't do that.

I do not. I did not want to run the risk of any possible damage to the battery or charger. The battery holds its charge, so there is no need.

You can leave the batteries on the charger to no detriment.I've left mine on for days, even. Do disconnect them if it stays in "charging" for entirely too long (I'd say over 24 hours) as that might blow your batteries up. I've never seen this though.

this is a connector to your battery MAINTAINER not a charger. Its recommended to be connected after the battery is charged.

I do without any problems. The charger seems very high tech. I doubt it would hurt the battery to leave iit plugged in

It doesn't have a recondition cycle and as far as I know leaving a battery on the charger won't harm it.

You should leave the battery connected to the charger at all times you are not using the mower. If you did not do this, the battery is probably damaged. It is a sealed Lead Acid battery and should NEVER be allowed to be less than about 90% charged. If you did not charge the battery after last using the mower, and didn't use it for several months, you almost certainly ruined the battery.
