Does the charger shut off when the batteries are charged?

LED Function : solid red - charging. Blinking means nearly charged. Blinking about every 20 seconds or no response from LED means fully charged. Never leave the lipos connected for long periods of time after charging. My lipos take about 40 to 45 minutes to charge. First time charge took about 35 min. Had some charge from factory. I really like this multi charger. Make sure you order the little AC/DC power supply at same time so you can power the charger with house current. Otherwise you will have to use batteries only in your charger to furnish the DC power.

If your batteries are in good shape the charger will shut off when fully charged.

It seems to. I leave it charging overnight and to my knowledge nothing wrong happens. What I don't like is the charger remains warm, maybe 100-110 deg F, when it is disconnected from the battery , but still plugged into the wall outlet.

No, it only lights up when you plug it in to charge and the light turns off when it is fully charged.

No, the charger has a light that goes from red to green when it is charged. It then stops charging.

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!

No. It Does that while it charges. When it is done, all the lights will go off

Yes. It monitor the charge of the battery and stops when charging is complete.

No, as the charger prevents that - http://www.amazon.com/Snow-Joe-iCHRG40-Lithium-Ion-Charger/dp/B00F8FLB2I/ref=pd_bxgy_lg_img_z -- do take the battery off the charger as soon as possible after it is at 100%, though, as you should with pretty much any battery charger.

Yes when you plug the dc connector it disconnect the batteries. I verified it by inserting batteries and powering the system and playing music, I then insert the dc plug from the AC adapter whitout plugging the AC to the power outlet and the system shutdown until I plug the AC into the outlet.

You can leave the batteries on the charger to no detriment.I've left mine on for days, even. Do disconnect them if it stays in "charging" for entirely too long (I'd say over 24 hours) as that might blow your batteries up. I've never seen this though.

I do not have this charger anymore, but if I recall correctly: it will turn off. However as long as the battery is completely charged it is in my opinion just cosmetic. R.

No. In fact if you plug it in to charge while on, it will shut them off to charge.

There are indicator lights. You need two batteries in sequence (at least) in the charger to start charging. You'll get a green indicator light when they are inserted indicating that the batteries are charging. Once they are charged the light turns off.

I leave my battery on the charger until I get ready to use it and the battery is always fresh, the charger cuts off when the battery is charged to the best of my knowledge.......

Hi Donald, The charger cycles back on when the battery looses power. When charge builds back up the charger cycles 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.
