can battery be left in charger

i started out unplugging the charger when the lite turned green. battery would not hold a charge. now i just leave it plugged in and this seamed to have solved my problem. only time will tell how long the battery will last. i paid $115.00 for my trimer, a new battery cost almost $100.00. i guess worx has to get their money oneway or another. my question is if the battery cost that much how well is the rest of the trimmer made. again only time will tell. my trimmer is only three months old. good luck

As I understand from the instructions, you can leave the battery in the charger. It will not overcharge.

All Dewalt batteries should be left in there chargers pluged in when not In use. They will have a longer life. Dewalt designed the chargers to maintain and replenish a charge only when the battery needs it. I have many Dewalt tools and have talked directly to Dewalt about this . Hope this was helpful.

Yes, for a battery that is already charged. You will also need a charger though, to keep it charged after use. You don't have to take the battery out of this case, to do so. One of the best investments I've made.

Lordy no. I plug in the charger with battery in , out , half in. Pull them out early. Short charge etc. overload and over discharge, it handles it fine. My battery life is shorter than some but it's a tool.

In many other devices, (razors, phones, etc.), it is generally recommended not to leave a battery on charge at all times, however since I have two batteries and chargers, I have no experience with leaving a spare battery in a charger at all times. I always check the charge status of a battery before starting a project and find at least one battery ready to go. The chargers are very quick in recharging a battery if it is required.

Yes you can. The charger is designed to recognize a full charge and then will trickle charge so that the batteries stay charged and ready but not overcharged. I am doing the same on mine

Yes. Just put em' in and leave them. These chargers go into "Energy Save Mode" when the battery is charged, preventing damage to the cells. They come back on only to "trickle charge" when necessary.

With these type batteries, you will want to use them until they are fully dead before charging to get the most out of them. I would not store it on the charger it self. Any other way will be fine.

I do not. I did not want to run the risk of any possible damage to the battery or charger. The battery holds its charge, so there is no need.

yes, you can leave the wires hooked up. The charger is a "smart" charger and it knows when and how much to charger the battery. Hope this helps

You can leave them in without causing any damage since the charging current is stopped once he green light goes out. This is a handy feature for those of us that like to start eneloop pro cells charging on several of these chargers before going to bed. No need to babysit these eneloop batteries or chargers, when you see they're done feel free to take them out, but they can indeed be left in if you're not at home or sleeping when they finish charging.

Yes but generally speaking the manufacturer recommends leaving it in the charger only until it is fully charged.

Yes, you can. I've tested the charger while connected to a Watt's Up power analyzer, and once the batteries reach a near-full charge, the amperage the charger pulls in begins to lower. Once the batteries are fully charged, the power analyzer shows 0A of current flowing between the wall adapter and the charging base, meaning the batteries are no longer drawing a charge and thereof are not overcharging. You'll be fine leaving them plugged in, though I wouldn't keep them plugged in for days on end just because you don't need them to trickle charge and lithium batteries have a very slow self-discharge when being stored between uses.

Yes, just like any other charger but you can leave it hooked up after charging is completed. If the dead battery is no good, nothing will help.

You can leave it in as long as needed. The light will change color when the battery is fully charged. However, once it is fully charged, it should be removed because overcharging can damage the battery and shorten its life.

yea it will be fine to leave it plugged in and the batteries in. they are lithium ion type batteries the same kind in laptops and cell phones. so they will charge up then the charger will just keep them charged till your ready to use them, i dont know about long term though like over a week or two probably wouldnt be great for them.
