Does the battery need to be left "on" or should it be "off" during charging?

I believe you will get faster results with the unit turned off. That is how I charge mine.

This power standby battery will kick - in when there's a lost of power. The normal battery hook - uo is, that that it is plugged to the power plug. When the battery is exhausted then the alarm goes on and you have to shift battery to house power.

It's a no-touch system. Plug it in, it will go through a self test attach the equipment you wish to supply and forget it, it will take care of itself. I've had mine for a year or so and it has never failed to do it's job when the power failed. I use it to power both my cable modem and router, and no problems occurred during power failure.

I don't think it matters. As long as the unit is plugged in to an AC source it will charge the battery and if turned on will power the gateway/modem. By the way, you can find the manual at Belkin's web site.

I think it should be left in the off position while charging. Don't quote me on that though.

I use mine while it is charging. Never left it on all night, but have used it while plugged in.

I don't usually let the battery below 20%. One thing I have learned is that some chargers will burn out a battery if left plugged in continuously. Unplug when charged.

I believe it is best to keep the switch off. However there have been times when I forgot to turn the switch off as it was charging. It did not appear to make any difference. Unit continued to charge fine.

There is an on/off button on the bottom. If there isn't, then you have a defective item and need to exchange it for one that works. I just took mine out of the box this morning - it's been charging in the sunlight all day - should be really pretty tonight!

In the off position. There will be a red light on the front, then it changes to blue (I think) when it is fully charged. I don't have to charge mine very often at all.

Yes it will still remain active while charging. Actually it's best to keep it on the charger while using cause if you don't the battery only last about an hour & and half or 2 hours.

Instructions say to leave it on. You may use the speaker while it is charging.

It ok to do either one , the battery it self has a limited number of charges. I keep mines charged haven't had any problems with it.

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.

Keeping it on the charger base all the time whether it needs to be charged or not is the worst thing you can do to it. It will shorten the life of the battery. I wear mine right down to where it is not brushing at all then and only then I put it on the charger base.

If I remember correctly, it should just turn off. I used it for a dead but relatively new battery and it worked perfectly. Just keep in mind that it took three days or so to fully charge.

I leave my battery on the charger until I get ready to use it and the battery is always fresh, the charger cuts off when the battery is charged to the best of my knowledge.......

You can disconnect the battery to turn it off. To charge the battery, connect it to an USB port (with the USB cable provided )

Thank you for contacting Battery World. When charging via USB or via Sunlight, you should keep the Charger's Switch in the OFF position. If you were to keep it ON you would be draining the charger of any power that it has stored up. When charging a mobile/digital device is when you would turn the switch to the ON position.

When charging, the red light only turns off automatically (and the device stops charging) if the switch on the side is off as well. If you only turn off the top button, it'll keep trying to charge. Don't wait for an amber light indicating that the battery is fully charged... I find that to be misleading... at least it has never happened to me.
