# Can I Leave My Device Plugged In?

## Yes, the device will operate while plugged in.

Yes, the devices will function while plugged in. 

The devices can be left plugged in, but we don't recommend leaving them plugged in for extended periods of time (days).  Repeatedly leaving the device on the charger for extended periods of time (days to weeks) can lead to the battery losing the ability to hold a charge.
