Does the unit re-charge only during vehicle operation or does it continuously re-charge via the vehicle electrical system (whether or not the car is operating)?

I would think it would charge during vehicle operation. What's up?

I have the 12V power adapter from BavAuto and whatever I plug in it continuously charges. I don't know if the flashlight stops charging when it's full up or not? Being as it isn't very high-tech, I doubt it. An easy way to tell is to put a multimeter on the pos/neg to see if you have constant power or not when the ignition is off.

Light won't work so I'm starting to reason a route to correction.

On my car that socket only keeps charging for about 15 minutes after shut down. Same as, for example, if you leave the trunk or a door open the lights shut off after about 15 minutes. To check it you'd need to have a way to check your device without opening the door (look in an open window for example). Once you open a door it resets the 15 minute timer.

I did not notice any flash light inside the glove comparment. Anybody has a working spare willing to sell?
