Does this have a floating charge?

"Float/maintenance charging" is that voltage is continuously applied to maintain the battery in a fully charged state. This is not the case for this unit, since it is not specified or implied in the Instruction Manual. To properly maintain this unit, it is recommended that it be charged (w/switch in the OFF position) "immediately after each use, and once a month if not used. Failure to do this may," WILL "reduce the battery life dramatically." I have had other boosters that, when not maintained this way, lost complete charge and could not be recharged of restored.

I would suspect it does not have overcharge or float mode to protect from overcharging. There are several out there that are made specifically for maintaining a full charged 12 Volt wet cell battery for around $10 to $15. I use one by Cen-Tech for an old Jeep I have to keep the battery charged.

No and I have found that it should be charged monthly whether you have used it or not. I bought mine to have for power outages and did not keep it charged. The batteries drained and I have to find new batteries. Hope this helps you.

Yes. But do keep it well ventilated. And try not to overcharge. Don't charge while in use.

The float voltage is 13.6v, it will charge higher for short bursts but will settle in at 13.6v when battery is fully charged. Hope this helps.

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 do not. Mine stay charged all the time with no lead or problems for months. Just do not fly or ship with air in the reservoir.

"Maintenance Mode/Float Mode charging" --- from the product description, so yes, the docked device is kept fully charged. The device itself is used as a jump starter.

I'm not sure. I have charged it when it wasn't completely empty and it was fine.

No, the balance connector does not charge. You need both connectors attached to charge.

Not when I received it, but after a month it had water inside and would not float. I would suggest trying another product.

No, it doesn't charge :( But it has been a great purchase for the money! :)

Yes it does. A charge usually lasts for about two weeks of use for a single user. Then we recharge it overnight.

Yes it does! I found it helpful (and super cheap) to buy some extra batteries so I'd always have one charged :)

Yes, it comes charged. It only took about 10 minutes to top it off with an Odyssey charger, so I would guess it was about 80% charged initially.

Yes - while it's charging there is a flashing LED; upon completion the light goes solid on. This is really a great light, you won't be sorry if you purchase.
