Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!
Leaving batteries on a charger.

Any vaguely modern charger should detect when the battery's fully charged and stop feeding power into it. The early Ni-Cd chargers for AA/C/D cells that I remember from childhood didn't, and those you had to turn off when they were done.

Mine have lived on their chargers since 1994.

If they are smart chargers then should be no problem
Feel the batteries once the have been on there for half a day. If they are warm them you have a dumb charger.

Whatever you do don’t unplug the charger and leave the batteries connected to it!
The electrons leak out of the exposed plug pins

We have one of the Ikea 8 battery chargers and it works very well as do the Ikea batterys (made in japan like the Panasonic Eneloop so possibly from the same factory)
Keeps them charged without over charging.

I don’t think you should loose sleep if it’s a smart charger, if it’s just a wall wart with a plug then keep an eye on it.Mike G":j5hcufpf said:

Basically once a charger has used its energy to covert electricity to chemical energy, this charging the battery,
it either has to turn down the power in some way or the if continually charged, that excess energy input has to come out as heat.
Chargers with differing degrees of smartness will do this in a manner of ways and the cells should not be warming up to any significant degree.
The faster the charger, the greater the need for it to be smart to protect agianst overheating and shortening battery life.
