Will this turn off automatically when the batteries are full to prevent overcharging? (Energizer Universal Charger)

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.

Hi! I just read the little manual that came with the charger. It says the charger has Individual Maximum Timer Control for overcharge protection. By the way, I love this charger and think it works very well. Hope that helps! :)

yes you must buy a type of charge controller that prevents your batteries from being over charged or over discharged. a pwm (pulse width modulation) is a good affordable choice for charge controllers. i think the one i bought was 60$

No the charger turns off the voltage when the battery is fully charged and the LED light changes color to alert you its done .

Since I use a timer to control the period of "charging", I do not have that knowledge. The timer, of course, has to remain ON all the time to keep the time. I doubt that the power goes off in the smartstrip "always on" group or the name would not be "always on".

There is a button on the bottom of the charger for power. Once you take your device off charge it will shut down automatically after a minute or so.

You usually have to have some type of controller to prevent battery overcharging. I hooked my solar charger to a gate opener that has a built in controller for the battery.

I believe it is best to keep the switch off. However there have been times when I forgot to turn the switch off as it was charging. It did not appear to make any difference. Unit continued to charge fine.

I am not sure it is wise to keep batteries on charge all the time. I always disconnect the charger after a full charge.

not that I am aware of. Light turns green when charge is full and I shut it off.

If by "automatic cut-off" you mean it stops charging when the battery is full, then yes. It does have automatic cut-off.

Yes it shuts off when charged and also shuts power off to the charger until voltage in battery drops to a preset level. I am able to keep the charger hooked up for months without worry.

Yes the charger is automatic and will shut off automatically when batteries are charged. Thank you for your question. Cheryl Rockney, CAR Partners, LLC

Automatic shutoff. You can't turn it off manually. I wondered the same thing when i got it. Having owned two portable charger packs now and doing lots of research, i found it's kind of a common feature.

No there is no shut off when battery is full charged. But there is a diode built in to prevent discharge during the night. This is used to maintain the batteries charge.

I don't know of any battery charger that shuts off automatically. I usually leave my charger unplugged until the night when I want to use it. I found out from others here that leaving it plugged in all the time shortens the battery life. That's exactly what I was doing. Since you asked this question, I plugged in my charger with the battery and found out that when the battery is fully charged the red light on the front changes from bright red to a more dimmed red. Hope this helps!

If your concern is regarding over-charging your cell phone's battery; then I would say that yes, charging will automatically stop after your cell phone's battery is full. There is no physical on/off switch, so the device will either be charging your phone or be in a stand-by state. There is an LED indicator on the unit that will flash while charging your phone.

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...
