Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)One of the previous reviewers misunderstood the directions for the Storm Station.The Storm Station is designed to be left plugged in.
The confusion comes from the directions themselves.Here is what they say: NOTE: AFTER THE MAIN BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED, SWITCH THE MAIN POWER SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION AND REMOVE THE AC ADAPTOR IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO USE THE STORM STATION RIGHT AWAY.ALWAYS REMOVE THE AC ADAPTOR DURING STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION OR DURING PERIODS WHEN IT IS NOT BEING USED.
Apparently, though, that means that you should only unplug it if you don't want to use it as a backup power source (i.e. if you are simply storing it or transporting it).
A better clarification comes from the Black and Decker Web Page itself: To be prepared for a power outage, keep the Storm Station plugged into an electrical outlet to maintain 100 percent of its charge. That way when the power goes out the Storm Station will have all of its battery power to help you during a power outage.
So leave it plugged in!I got mine on Christmas Eve and we had a power outage on Christmas at 10pm.The kids were scared, and I simply grabbed the Storm Station (the Find Me Light had already activated), turned on the High Powered Room Light, lit a kerosene lantern, turned off the High Powered Room Light, and charged my cell phone.We used the rechargeable flashlight as well (the other flashlight by our bed died within 5 minutes).I then called the power company to report the outage.After the power came on an hour later, I plugged the Storm Station back in.I'm going to keep it plugged in and rely on it again!
I'm very happy with the Black and Decker Power Station.Thanks to my girls for giving it to me!
