Does it ruin the battery if you leave it charging for too long?

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

Yes it will still remain active while charging. Actually it's best to keep it on the charger while using cause if you don't the battery only last about an hour & and half or 2 hours.

I assume that you mean "does it stop charging once the battery is fully powered?" My understanding is that this one does that, and seems to keep the battery charged if it stays inserted. The small chargers that came with my tools did not do that.

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.

I would not advice leaving it for more than a few hours after fully charged just me due to trickle charging is still on. I rather be safe than sorry.

I believe the battery charger has an overcharge limit which allows the battery to charge to its fullest no matter how long the battery sits in the charger. I leave my battery in the charger for about two days and have not noticed any problems. Hope this helps.

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.

I know if you leave it plugged in all the time it can end up ruining the battery. But if that is not the case then I would contact the manufacturer.

I have never removed this battery since I bought it and it has received several charges. i try not to leave it on the charger since I have heard, cell batteries in general, do not do well when left on the charger at a full charge.No specific issues with this specific battery however.

Not that I have found. We keep ours plugged into the charger, just a blue light that it's charged and have not had a problem with over charging.

I haven't experienced that. But if the battery is not fully charged it will not last long.

I leave mine mounted in my truck. I don't leave it charging, for I'm afraid it might damage it. The good thing is, when it gets low, it flashes and warns you the battery is low. I then just simply plug it in and let it charge. It holds a charge for a good while.

The charger continues to charge as long as the battery is connected. You should not let it charge more than 5-6 hours or it will overcharge and ruin the battery.

This is a smart charger and as such it senses when to charge the battery and when not to with its built in circuitry. So yes, you could leave it hooked up to the battery indefinitely with no damage. Many people do this in the off season when a battery is sitting and not being used. Otherwise, you could be purchasing a new battery if it sits to long and discharges to the point that it can't recharge.

I've never had any issues with mine. If I'm not mistaken it stops charging once it's fully charged!

I did leave it charging for a long time and it died within weeks. So I am on my 2nd battery and put a timer on the power cord to charge it so I do not do that again.
