[Q] Ok to keep charger plugged in 24/7? [ShieldPortable]

[Toxic_Dragon]

[ShieldPortable] Is it ok to keep charger plugged in 24/7? I don't want to damage the battery and I don't intend to always have the charger in but it would be nice to keep it charging while i'm home so that when I'm on the go its full charged.

I charge it over night.

I charge it over night.

I use it all day and would like to always have it completely charged so if I decide to take it with me I can have it at 100%

I use it as a home console and have it sitting on shelf in living room, plugged via HDMI to TV and plugged into the charger, which is plugged into a surge protector. For safety reasons, I am switching the surge protector off at night and switch it on when I want to power on the TV. I do this for 2 months now, the SHIELD portable gets power from the charger for an average of maybe 10 hours a day, no problems met so far.
I do recommend you do this only with the charger it came with or with a charger with the same output voltage and amperage.

I guess you answered my question. How many hours of on screen time do you get?

Since it never leaves the charger, I get infinite screen on time.

Got it. Can you take it off the charger when you have time and maybe get on grid or any intensive application/game and see how much on screen time you get. Perhaps also using full brightness. If you can I would appreciate it.

I'm sorry to turn you down, but I am at a busy schedule currently and therefore have no time for such testing.
Nevertheless I do believe battery life is not an issue on this device.
