If I leave the battery charging will it cut itself off when it is done charging?

It depends what charger you have. The one that comes with the set/ car is a standard trickle charger and will try to keep charging. I've sometimes forgotten about it in the past with no evident ill effect. There are charging units on the market that will charge your battery much faster and will cut off once complete.

This is a smart charger and as such it senses when to charge the battery and when not to with its built in circuitry. So yes, you could leave it hooked up to the battery indefinitely with no damage. Many people do this in the off season when a battery is sitting and not being used. Otherwise, you could be purchasing a new battery if it sits to long and discharges to the point that it can't recharge.

As far as I know, it should stop charging the battery when it's full. I'm planning on getting an extra battery to swap during trimming. After leaving in my battery for a full charge over a week, I didn't notice any drop in performance.

Yes, this "stops the charging" by blocking the incoming power on the "solar panel" connection from getting thru to the "battery" connection once 14V is detected on the battery terminals. Once that has happened, the green light comes on to tell you "the battery is full and charging has been stopped" and the green light stays on until the battery voltage drops to 13V. Once the battery voltage has dropped to 13V, the charging is enabled again and the green light goes out (but the yellow light will be on showing that "charging" is happening again). Depending on how well charged the battery is, how big it is, and how powerful your charge source is, that full cycle (of charging, reaching the 14V where charging stops, and the battery dropping to 13V from it no longer being charged) can happen in just a few seconds or can take 5 minutes, so seeing the green light go out and come back on often is normal. The only time a red light will come on is if you have a "load" connected to the "load" wires and have something running so long that it drains the battery so 11V is detected, it then shuts off your "load" so you don't overly drain the battery.

No. It has to be manually turned on and off. It will probably run out of power and cut itself off and come back on if it were charged back up.

No it will not drain its made to be left hooked up to your batterys, just plug in when you want to charge them

Yes it is. It will send a charging current to your battery in three stages. As the battery starts to approach full charge it will cut back the charging current to keep from over charging the battery. When the battery reaches full charge it will go into a maintain stage which will keep the battery charged.

It will quit charging once the battery is fully charged. Its a lithium battery.

Yes it will continue to charge. There's no on/off switch as quoted earlier. You can however check the charging level via the indicator.

Well it depends on what charger you have. This item is just the batteries. But as far as I know, and this is what mine does, most of them will stop to prevent over charging. But you would have to look at the charger when you buy it.

Yes, it does stop charging after the battery is fully charged. Older battery generations such as NiMH need to stop receiving power after fully charged, otherwise this will damage the battery. But don't worry, the Tenergy Smart Charger will automatically cut off charge when battery is fully charged. This is why you see the word "smart charger" in the description.

Oh.. If you are asking if the charger will shut off after the battery has been charged the answer is yes but it is recommended that you do not leave the battery connected to the charger all the time.

Yes. Once your device is charged, it stops. No more battery power used from the Jachery Bar.

I just leave it alone. As long as its not charging another device it will turn off on its own.

i believe the charger turns off automaticly after the battery is charged at least some do tho some chargers tell you that you are useing unnecesary electricity by leaving it on but i would suggest removeing the battery once it is charged.

I don't have a definitive answer for that, but I have charged mine many times, and it seems to stop when the charge is complete.

Yes, to a point. While no damage is done to the charger or batteries outright there will be over a period of time be a shortened life of the batter itself. As with any rechargeable power source it is best to deplete it as low as you can before recharging. Leaving it constantly plugged in means continuous heat which shortens the life span of the battery.
