Can damage be done to battery if it stays in charger after it is fully charged ?

I read in the instructions that the battery should be removed after charging so I'm assuming it could get damaged or they wouldn't say to remove it.

No, as the charger prevents that - Snow Joe iCHRG40 Eco Sharp Lithium-Ion Charger, 40-volt -- 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.

This is from the charge cradles product description "if you leave a worn-down battery in for four to 10 hours, the charger conditions the battery with a tune-up mode, and at completion, it automatically converts to trickle charge, so you'll never damage a battery by leaving it in the charger too long."My guess is you can. I would consider it if I used it frequently

Do not store the battery in the trimmer after charging. There is a small current draw that will drain the battery.

It does seem to damage thr battery if you don't use it all the time, if used all the time no problem leaving battery plugged in.

No, recommend the extra charger you can connect to your computer so you don't have to continue removing it that lead to damage to the case. Also your battery may need to be checked because you have to change so often.

Store your batteries fully charged. Also, try to avoid letting lithium ion batteries (like the ones in cell phones) discharge completely after the initial 4-5 cycle "break in" period.. Repeatedly draining them all the way can shorten battery life. Most battery chargers have a protection circuit built in so leaving a battery in the charger past the time it is fully charged will not harm it.

I wouldnt leave it charged all the time. Could effect the life of the rechargeable battery.

Yes. The charger is a smart charger. When the battery is fully charged, it goes into a hibernation mode and will maintain the battery, without overcharging it.

No the charger won't drain the battery -- Nor will it maintain it... Batteries will naturally slowly lose their charge while sitting unused -- Plus sometimes dependent on where the batteries are being used (boat, Car etc.) there might be a slight discharge to circuit leakage . clocks, lights, and the like. Just plug your charger back in a day or two before you use the vehicle .

A battery may be left on the charger after fully charged. The charger changes mode when the green light goes steady and drops the charging current. The batteries remain cool after that. If the light stays flashing after days, I wouldn't recommend leaving that battery on the charger.

No, there is over-charge protection built into the battery. With that being said, I still remove my batteries when I see the charge is complete. The 18 month warranty doesn't hurt either :-)

I do not have this problem. However I have been very careful not to leave it on the charger too long. My experience with this type of battery is that if it is frequently left on the chrger longer than 12 hours it looses some of its ability to hold a charge.

I would say NO!!! Could damage charger and possable damage to yourself. Contact Black and Decker for help.

I have not experienced that, so i would guess there is a problem with the battery or your charger. I know that chargers can damage a battery, so you might check that.

I too leave mine plugged in. However, when I have left it out for a little while, always charges right back up. I don't see how the battery can be replaced. I have had mine several years now and cannot complain at all about how it works.

There should be no harm, I have had no issues with leaving it on the charger after reaching 100% and have not heard of any problems. That said, I have but don't normally leave it on the charger for extended periods out of habit, not concern for the batteries condition.

Sadly, I'm not able to answer that question adequately at this time. I haven't had mine long enough to know. As a habit, I do remove the battery once I'm done with it. But I use mine until all charge is down and then have a full charge ready to go for the next time and "that" charge appears to hold when I use it.
