Charge Ego Overnight?


kev

Recommended Posts

I've left my eGo batteries on the charger a few times. (Forgot it was charging and went to bed. Had to go somewhere and forgot it was charging.) I "think" the batteries stop charging when the LED turns green. I haven't had any problems. The batteries have never been warm when I went to take them off the charger so I'd guess they stop charging when the LED indicator turns green. But to be safe, I "usually" do not leave them unattended. :)

We've had "experts" come on here and tell us in the past that there is no problem with leaving batteries on the charger after the light turns green. I've left batteries on overnight, too, with no problem. But...to be as safe as possible, I try not to do that.

I always leave my batts in overnight and sometimes days. That being said, I recently had a defective eGo batt get so hot it melted the usb cahrger. Luckily my wife was home and smelled burning plastic. So although I dont listen to my own advice, I would suggest not leaving it unattended.

I think that as long as you are home, it is fine. I think that leaving batteries on a charger unattended can be a possible danger. If you must, place the charger and batteries in a place that is not conducive to a possible fire.

Due to reading about other incidents similar to what Jeff said, I never leave my batteries on charge over night. It only take one malfunction and... I'm just not willing to take that chance.
