Can I leave the charger plugged in with 1 or 2 batteries in it after the light has turned green? Will it damage the charger or battery?

I don't believe it will hurt the batteries, but in general with Li-ion batteries it is a good idea to remove them after they are charged. They will hold their charge for months after being re-charged, so why would you want them left in the charger? It is always safer to remove the batteries and unplug the charger.

I have a 2 port charger and I've never had a problem leaving it plugged in when not in use. I hope this helps.

In our application we have had batteries in the charger for a year and a half, with no ill effect, so far. We have 3 batteries and rotate them thru the charger. Yes, no problem leaving them in the charger

Leaving the charger plugged into the wall is fine so long as the connector end is kept safe from water, pinching etc. You should not leave the device plugged in all the time as this is not so good for the battery. If you never plan to run the device on the battery, you are probably safe leaving it charge all the time.

According to the manual, "If the green indicator light is 'ON', the charger is plugged in but the battery pack is not inserted, or the battery pack is fully charged and is being trickle charged."Since these are Lithium-ion batteries, my experience is that they hold a charge very well so keeping one in the charger isn't necessary. Ni-Cad batteries do not hold a charge as long.

If you have a smart charger (if you don't I highly recommend u get one) just charger until the light turns green. If you're using a standard wall charger about 4-5 hours (never go over 5 hours) Another nice thing about smart charger is they automatically shut off when the battery is full. Standard wall chargers don't automatically shut off, and you can risk ruining the battery

I would NOT leave this on a charger. I believe that battery is meant to be run, up and down to maintain it's ability to accept a charge. Leaving it plugged in is not what it is meant to do.

Yes, the charger indicator will turn green after the batteries have been fully charged,

Charger does not shut off - green light remains on until you remove the battery. They provide two batteries - one to use and one to charge.

I have not had my charger go bad. The green light still comes on when I install a fresh battery for charging and then goes out when the battery has completed a re-charge.

I just plugged my charger in with two batteries. Light is solid red. Will turn to green when charged

No, it is a trickle charger (compared to a "smart" charger that automatically turns off) and will overcharge. Please read the instructions, which clearly state not to leave it charging for more than 8 hours. Only charge until the light turns green, then stop. They also state to recharge immediately after use, and every 30 days if not used, to keep it topped up. Apparently they don't want you to leave it in a discharged state.The battery seems to be the weak link in these rather crappy quality lights. I would do everything I can to follow the instructions and not do anything that might damage the battery or shorten its life...

Leave it in the charger as long as you want and it won't hurt the battery. It takes about 9 hours to fully charge. Therefore, I suggest you have two batteries.

From what I read in the instructions, it was safe to leave it on the charger continuously. However the blue light is supposed to go off every so often, which mine does. So far I've had no issues with storing it that way.

Lithium batteries require proper charging, which means chargers will stop charging the battery once it is full. For Worx, you can leave the charger plugged in without damaging the battery. The green light means is no longer charging. You are wasting energy, though.

I am sorry, but I do not know the answer to this question. I normally put them on the charger and put other batteries in the unit the batteries were removed from. I put the discharged batteries in my charger, two or four at a time, plug it in and go about my activities. When they are charged the charger light turns off and I remove the charged batteries when I notice they are charged. Usually it will be the next morning or in the evening. It is not uncommon for batteries to be in the charger for eight to 12 hours. Tom Kerr

We leave ours on charger whenever not in use same as our original one that was 10+ years old. Our original one had this same green light that was on whenever in charger. Hope this helps. David
