Does the built in charger protect unit from over charging? Also, what type of extension cord is required(specifically)?

Do not buy this online, because if you do not like it you will not be able to return it. So far I was not able to use it because I have to buy the chord to charge it and they don't provide this chord, you have to buy it separately.

The charger shuts off by itself when the battery is fully charged. No problem with over charging. As for the cord, just a ordinary extension cord that has a single receptacle on one end such as you would find at Lowe's or possibly Walmart, ect. This is not a problem, but it would seem that they would send a short one with the jumpbox.

To charge the unit when delivered not fully charged, do you just plug suppled extension cord into wall

You will not overcharge if using the Digital charger supplied with the product, It automatically Stops charging. Also Ultrafire's 18650 batteries have built-in protection. They are quite good and hold up pretty well to abuse

I bought the long extender cord first but it would not charge. I returned and bought the shorter version and it has worked for over a year now. ??? Not sure why. Sorry can't help more

It does have an overcharge safety, but I'd never advise leaving these types of batteries in any charger for more time that it takes to charge them, let alone days or weeks. You're just asking for trouble in that scenario.

I have not had an issue with this unit overheating. I have taken it from NYC to London, to Sri Lanka to Malaysia, and no problems. It works fine and charges my phone over and over again before having to recharge the Universal External Unit.

I'm not sure about that specific charger. But, the one that I purchased would not fit within the base. Not that big of a deal though because it fits between the unit and the wall and remains "hidden."

The charger is in the unit that you are looking at in the photo. You just need to plug it in overnight occasionally (and the cord comes with the package).

The instructions say "You cannot overcharge this unit using the AC charging method." However, elsewhere in the manual it says "overcharging will reduce battery life." But if you charge it DC you should not exceed 6 hours of charging time.

Issue is in my region the unit does not ship with a charger. The device must have a current limit to prevent damage. Any suggestion what that limit is or what is the rating of the charger supplied in your region?

According to the tag attached to the appliance, it is recommended to NOT use with any extension cord. The unit should be plugged directly into a wall outlet. You may want to contact the manufacturer for confirmation on this.

Yes, the built-in intelligent charger with overcharge protection plugs in to 110V household outlet. And it has DC outlet with overload protection to power or recharge 12V electronics.

The manufacturer suggest keeping the unit plugged in since it has an automatic charger that keeps the unit charged without overcharging. The other models they recommend charging immediately after use but do not provide a shelf life for the charge.

Since I operate my unit about at least 10 feet away from the wall outlet, I usually use an extension cord. And it works the same way as being plugged in the wall outlet, without any issues that I have noticed.

Its not i have had mine for almost a year and recharge it directly from the wall with the included charger....i guess unless you run at max and want extra batteries but i have never had that concern

I have used one with a 50ft extension cord. I leave several plugged in all winter. This unit will not overcharge your battery. It uses a computer circuit to shut off and show a green light when fully charged. It will turn back on when the battery discharges and only charge until the battery hits its correct charge.
