It has come to my attention that a few of our toys don’t hold there charge for long, or sometimes they are missed from the charging schedule
My question is does anyone leave multiple toys plugged in to charge until they are needed. Like a charging station, or is it advised to charge unplug and wait for use?
I was contemplating setting up somewhat of a charging station in my bedside table. Out of site ready to be called upon when required. Is this a terrible idea, or will it affect the longevity of the toys life?
I believe sex toys use the same type of batteries as phones so keeping batteries continously charged at 100% will degrade the battery faster.
Eventually it will hold less of a charge so that 1 hour toy battery life may turn into 50 mins, then 40 mins, then it may not hold enough to get you off before running out of power.
Also from a safety point of view. Charging generates heat. While I imagine toys do have a safety function I personally would not want something generating that much heat to be plugged in while I am out the house. One fault is all it takes to start a fire.
In general, most batteries should be stored the majority of the time somewhere between 20 and 80% charge.
Keeping them fully charged will degrade them over time, as will allowing them to die completely and storing them dead.
If we are planning to use them that night we charge beforehand. Then they stay in the drawer and get used spontaneously a couple of times, then at some point when we plan to use them again we’ll charge before use.
We have a good session planned tonight before the kids come back tomorrow so I have a couple on my desk on charge now.
Lithium Ion batteries also degrade by recharging too often, this causes “lithium plating” on the anode junction, so It is better to run them down because most batteries have a cut off point when they do not allow the battery do discharge too deeply. lesson over , you’re welcome
I have a toy drawer with built-in USB charging hub but I check them after an hour or two of putting them on charge and take the ones that are charged off charge. Could something like that work for you?
I have a 16 port charging dock/hub which ranges from 2.4v upto USB 3.0 and the type C. It beeps once anything is fully charged which is handy.
Another clever idea after seeing a video online was buying some retractable cable winders and then using my label machine. No more looking for the correct wire and having a big mess
I think there is a thing where you can over charge a battery but also it can damage battery power if you let it run fully flat too… if some your toys aren’t holding charge like they used to then I’d say it’s the life of the battery running out as they don’t last forever.
