Battery charging

[Kim]

Is it alright to keep TomTom plugged in all the time to keep the batteries
charged, or should I take it off once it's fully charged?

Keeping it plugged in will not harm it.

that's correct, the charge terminates when the battery is full.

What about screen "burn in". I know it isn't a CRT but older LCD's could develop bleeding.
Has anyone experienced problems with their screen over the years?

Being plugged in and being powered up are 2 different things. Normally, users have a map view on screen when using the unit and the map screen is not static but dynamic refreshing so I doubt there would be burn in.

Should i charge it up turned on or off? Or doesn't it make any difference.

I would charge it off....It will charge faster....because it will not need the power too run the unit.
