Will this overcharge the battery?

Had mine on a 12 Volt ATV battery for 4 months . Does not seem to be any problem. It charges so slowly I don't think it could hurt the battery. But does get the job done. Hope this helps.

No, it never has. This type of charger works on the sealed gel cell batteries, not the C or D cell batteries that go inside game cameras.

If used for a small 12 volt battery, it will not over charge the battery in any way. It is ideally suited for a small battery.

It is my impression that it is not supposed to. In fact the one I got does not charge my battery. I haven't had time to take it down and send it back.

Hi Emerson, No, I haven't had that happen to me yet and I left it on there for 2 days. I forget it's on there. So, In my opinion, It will not overcharge the battery.

of course... like a charm and it will not overcharge any battery including motorcycle batteries... I have the previous version which is wonderful... the new one is even better

It would eventually charge it, I wouldn't leave it on any battery indefinitely though as it has no automatic mechanism that will prevent overcharge.

No. Just make sure that you unplug after a few hours otherwise it could damage the battery

I don't recall reading anything that warns you about overcharging. It plugs into the usb port of your computer and charges rather quickly. I have left it plugged in after it was fully charged and it didn't cause any problem that I am aware of.

Yes, You should put a charge controller in line to batteries, rated at the proper amps/watts so you don't overcharge batt.

I'd look in the manual for something saying "It will not overcharge if left plugged in". If you can't find such, then I'd plug it in and check the voltage on the battery every hour for 4-6 hours. If the voltage never goes above ~14.5V everything's fine, but if you see 15V or higher then you're "overcharging" and want to pull the plug.Another option to consider if you like the idea of keeping it "freshly charged" would be to put it on a timer that comes on for 15-30 minutes each day, but isn't on 24/7.

Well we plug it in and then come back later and have had no problems so I would say that it won't overcharge, at least that's our experience.

No, you can not over charge the battery. It does not have a charge controller but it has a voltage regulator that prevents overcharging (additionally, it keeps power from the alternator from reaching the panel). I have had mine plugged in for 7 months straight and can even drive with it connected with no problems.

You can, this charger will maintain the battery and never overcharge or destroys the battery

No. I tried the same thing. But there is circuitry to prevent overcharging which would damage your batteries that is missing in the circuit.

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

yes I don't see why it would not work, you should use a charge controller to prevent overcharging

I don't think you can overcharge the battery with the charger. It has an automatic They last a bit longer than the original one. But not much of the difference.

I'm sure you can as the U.S. standard voltage is 110 or 115v and the charging plug is a two pronge universal plug. The only thing I would say to do differently is to cut the charge time in half as it is twice the voltage and you wouldn't want to overcharge it. Overcharging can shorten battery life. I hope this helps you.

I thought this would keep my battery charged. Don't buy it. Never worked as designed. Hope this helps
