Does it have a safety pin? When you re-charge it does it have an automatic shutoff when fully charged ?

Negative on both. Plug tongs come right out of the side of the item. No cord. Red switch must be ON in order to use device. Don't even think about using it as a keychain though. Its to bulky and big. But it does come with a case that can be attached to belt. If anyone asks. Hey! Its a flashlight!

This does have an automatic shut-off feature. It turns itself off if it's not charging or has completed charging after 30-60 seconds. I don't know about the second question, haha, but I can tell you that we have thoroughly enjoyed this charger.

There was a red pin that came with it to turn off the alarm, but I'd assume you've lost that. So the best thing is to charge it to "shut-it-up". If you've lost the original charger (as mentioned in a comment), you can use any 12V car charger connected to the jumper clamps. You will need to have the switch for the jumper cables "on" while charging and be sure the clamps make metal-to-metal contact (the outside of the clamps on the peak unit are plastic, so the chargers clamps need to go inside them touching the metal jaws). Otherwise be sure red clamps never touch black. To tell when it's charged while charging this way, the "battery indicator" LEDs will show the 2 green with it at ~12.5V pretty quickly, but that's not even close to fully charged (see my review about how they light up during "charging" versus "draining"). You'll want to take it to about 14V, then it's "fully charged" (and you'll need to measure that yourself with a meter).

Yes, it does prevent over-charging. This is accomplished by the charger switching to a type of stand-by mode when the battery is fully charged. Its LED display shows the specific cycle in which the charger is operating. If the battery power drops to a level below full charge, the charger switches to charging mode to top-off the battery again. I am completely sold on this CTEK Charger! Also, it CAN re-charge a supposedly "Dead" battery, if the battery is still capable of accepting a charge. This is achieved through its "de-sulfation" (altho this is not the correct term) process.

No, it has a blocking diode to prevent it from discharging the battery at night but no auto shut off

Yes the unit will stop charging the battery when the charge cycle is completed.

it does not have an on/off timer. It regulates very well so when the full charge is reached it does a float charge so it sends just enough power through to keep it charged

I actually went to Microsoft website itself and posed this same question. They didn't really seem to know much about it either. From what I understand is that it does not stop charging, yes allowing the opportunity for over charging damaging the overall life span of the rechargeable battery itself? Again, the specialist seemed to not be too clear or seemed to not know and guessed that it didn't stop charging. This leaves the possibility that it does "auto" stop charging once the batteries are fully charged.

It has a blinking red light when the battery gets low. Also, when you charge it, the red light comes on. When fully charged,the light goes off.

This charger does have an auto shut off feature that's suppose to shut off the charger to prevent overcharging. I haven't needed that feature, so I can't tell you how well it works, only that's it's available.

It has a display for the battery banks and shows the charge progress. When a battery is done charging, it shuts off that bank...It's an awesome little unit!

It stops charging the battery once it's fully charged. I have not had it overheat.

I did not engineer this product but usually all modern recharging systems will automatically shut down when the battery is fully charged. Should you unplug the power from the product, and not use the appliance for some time, the battery will slowly bleed off power. I personally leave them plugged in and periodically let them discharge in order to cycle the battery.

Hi, The item have auto shut off system. You could leave it plugged into the charging. Also, it can be operated during charging. Thank you for interested in our products. Regards, Customer Services

It seems to shut off when full charge is reached, don't know the answer too second question.

Yes, it's also supposed to start charging again once the battery drops to a certain point (I've never left mine plugged in on maintenance mode so cannot verify this).

Yes it automatically shuts off if knocked over and then when stood right side up will continue to work after turning back on. I personally have seen this happen a good four times already. Sadly it sits in a high traffic area and I have a large puppy lol
