Yes. Keep the terminal plugged in all the time, using the power cord it came with, straight into a wall outlet. A terminal on a power strip or a computer port may work at first and then start turning itself off.
What actually matters
Use the original power adapter, plugged straight into a wall outlet.
- Not a power strip
- Not a computer USB port
Both of those can look like they’re charging while the battery slowly falls, which shows up later as a terminal that keeps shutting itself off.
Leave them on overnight, too. That’s when updates are sent.
