“Is it ok to leave it plugged into an AC outlet all the time so that it's always ready, or will it get overcharged? Does it "float" like a battery tender, keeping it charged to the right voltage, or will it kill the battery?”

• It will automatically stop charging once its full. Probably best to unplug when full, and if you havent used it in a few days, plug the charging cord back in to keep it fully charged. Most likely in a few days of not charging and not using it, it drains about 1% only.

• No to AC as I believe it uses DC. So if its like any other radar detector I've used or seen when it receives power it turns on. So it will keep pulling power from the source. Now I'm not sure of the draw but I assume it will drain the battery as it more than likely uses more power than a interior light.
