why does gas gas escape when charging?

You may not have the lid on right. You have to precisely line it up or it will escape. If you turn it upside down and it bubbles than it is leaking. Take it off and try with a new cartridge. Get eye level with the lid to make sure it is straight.

You did not state from where the gas was leaking, at the gas filler or the cap. If it is where the cartridge is screwed in this is normal since the pin pierces the cartridge membrane before it is completely seated. If it is coming from the cap, it is probably because it has not been screwed in tight enough. I have found that I need to use considerable strength when tightening. I plan on adding an additional O ring but have not gotten around to it yet. Hopes this helps.

Some chargers do this from time to time. I find that I get a better charge on my phone or tablet. In this case this charger is for your tablet. So the reason it does this is because it's not programmed to charge while your tablet is on. At least this is what I was told about my charger. So maybe get a new one or just use it and turn it off to charge.

No it stuck out a little bit. But it does charge the device. I dont use it while charging for fear of a break off. So it works out for me

I have two of these devices, one for each of my cars. I have never had this problem on either one. I would probably suggest to check if the jumpstart switch or the air compressor switch are turned on. If any of the output switches are on while you're trying to charge it may produce an effect like this.

A couple of reasons danger of over charging the battery causing the acid in the battery to boil gases build which cause it to blow up or crack housing and leak second it will flop around unless permanently mounted

my best guess is that gasoline is very combustable and drawing it through plastic hose could creat a static charge that could spark and ignite.I think it's a fire hazard!

As I recall, the red charging light goes out when it's charged. I felt no heat on the unit after leaving it plugged in when charged.

Due to the compact design and relatively high charging current, batteries can become toasty hot _if_ the BCG34HRE missed termination signal (negative dV/dt) - especially with the charger cover closed. I did an experiment by charging four nearly full Rayovac 4.0 Hybrid AA cells together (this is to force the worst-case scenario where all batteries are being over-charged), and measured the cell temperature with an infrared thermometer. The highest temperature recorded was 62 degree C, which is too hot to hold for most people, but not high enough to cause a meltdown. Note that this will NOT happen if you recharge partially exhausted cells (because then the charger can terminate correctly by detecting negative dV/dt). But to be safe, I recommend charging with the cover open or removed.

I encountered this problem and while reading the manual I found that fresh gas must be used for proper operation. I replaced the gas and it performed well.

Allen: after using this charger a few times I am disappointed in it. One of the charging stations actually heats up the battery and it starts to leak acid. I stopped using it all together. I was standing next to it and heard a pop after not relizing what it was it took a bit to open the charger and find this is what made the noise. This charges very well but that one station kills the battery. I'm sorry to say I am disappointed to say the least. To answer your querstion it has lights above each charging station and they go from red to green when the batteries ar charged.

Try a very strong magnet moved around the bottom of the handle... since it is an induction charging system, sometimes they just need a boost to get them started. Mine stopped charging and I took a strong rare earth magnet, rubbed around the bottom and sides of the handle for a min or two and put in charger. Has been charging just fine ever since.

Mine did the same thing. I took it back and got a gas model. Way more power.

I have not had any problems of gas spilling out. if you tighten the top, secure the cap over the nozzle and tie down the can so it won't turn over. these are the best cans I have ever had, I drive over a 6 mile dirt and bumpy road with no problems. tom

It seems that if you overfill the fuel tank, the gas makes it's way into the vent and and then drains thru the hose back into the air cleaner assembly. Not the greatest design, but I drained some fuel from the tank and now the problem is solved.. Thanks for you input anyhow.

Yes. I think the combination of charging and discharging is offsetting depending on the draw of the item you are charging...example...might take longer to charge both items this way, but they are both charging.

Might be a little close to the gas range. It could go off. Try it and see. May end up moving it further away

you need to charge any fire extinguisher after use because it losses its pressure
