I am planning to purchase a second battery as a spare. Could I keep it on the charger until I would need to use it w/o destroying it? thanks.

No! Once it is fully charged the Lithium Ion battery has a one year shelf life. So it will stay charged for you until you need it.

I have two batteries myself...I keep the 2nd one always charged and ready to go when the other stops....then I put the charged one in the blower and immediately charge the 2nd one and it's always ready....as far as always leaving one in the charger without harming it...I really don't know but I prefer to charge the 2nd battery and put the battery and charger in a drawer until needed.

I have to put mine back on the charger after almost every use. Sometimes, I let it run down and then put it on the charger for about 24 hours before I'm going to use it again. If it doesn't hold a charge at all you'll need to replace it.

Yes, I leave it in charger so far have no problems, I also have a back up battery because I got alot of trimming to do!

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.......

Yes, when I am not using it, I do leave it on the charger. I tried not putting it on the charger for a while, but it doesn't have as much power as when I leave it on.

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

It has been my experience that it is best to disconnect the battery once it is fully charged. I don't think it will be unsafe, just not good for the batteries.

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

I leave mine on a charger at all times and it doesn't appear to damage or effect performance. perhaps there is some battery expert out there who can offer a more educated response.

Keeping it on the charger base all the time whether it needs to be charged or not is the worst thing you can do to it. It will shorten the life of the battery. I wear mine right down to where it is not brushing at all then and only then I put it on the charger base.

Iuse the USB charger to charge the battery that is in the radio. I have not charged my spare battery, becuase once you start charging and discharging them, they begin to wear out.I will use the 1st battery until it won't hold a charge any longer, and then install the 2nd battery.

I've owned mine for almost a month and use it every week. I always leave 1 of my 2 batteries in the charger between uses so that I always have a fully charged battery. The instruction manual says that's fine and so far, I have not seen any issues with doing so.

I charge my original battery with no issue whatsoever, and no impact on battery performance. This does not charge a battery as fast as the original OEM charger, but you will not be disappointed. I keep 1 battery in the charger at all times, a fully charged spare battery in my bag, and of course, one in the phone. If I end up using my spare while I am out, when I get home I just swap them and have a fully charged battery ready to go.

Disposable? It has it's own battery (made to fit) I guess you can, but why would you want to do that? Buy the charger too and you're set! : )

I leave them on the charger. I bought the batteries in a set that came with a charger and the charger I have auto shuts off once the charging is done. These type of batteries are also designed to not lose their charge over time as many other batteries do. So I would say that you can leave them in the 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

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