Does the charger have auto shutoff? Or does it use a timer?

THe Sanyo MQN06 is not a timer-based chrager. It actually monitors the combined voltage of two cells during charging. Charging is terminated when the total voltage is high enough, or when a voltage dip is detected.

I bought this as a gift and I didn't think to look to see if it has auto shut off. Sorry I could not be more help.

I'm not sure, sorry. I generally just plug the charger with a battery into my power strip and when I notice it has turned green unplug it. I've never timed it, but it doesn't seem to take too long. Also, it's hard to say because I have three batteries and after a photoshoot always just swap out the battery for a fresh one and charge the one I've just used, which always has more power still left in it. Sometimes it has 40% left, sometimes more or less, etc., so the time to recharge varies. I seldom run the batteries all the way down, etc. I'll say this... I've been VERY pleased with this charger.

No, it does not have auto shutoff. My wife killed her battery twice forgetting to unplug it. The heat is pressure activated.

the charger is self monitoring so when the battery is full if will shut off and turn the led to green. hope this helps.

Yes the charger is automatic and will shut off automatically when batteries are charged. Thank you for your question. Cheryl Rockney, CAR Partners, LLC

Yes it has an auto shut off. We leave ours plugged up. This is the second one we have owed, it is a good product.

To my best knowledge, it does not. Nothing from the manufacturer indicates an automatic shutoff. But then, the longest I've used mine is 45 minutes.

Yes, it has a hold setting on the timer dial. Which is particularly useful when charging a large deep-cycle battery bank, such as with a solar power installation where you will need to charge at 20 amps for 3-1/2 to 4 hours if the battery bank is 50% discharged to start with.

Charger does not shut off - green light remains on until you remove the battery. They provide two batteries - one to use and one to charge.

no this does not have an automatic shut off. A suggestion would be to have it set on a timer if this is a concern otherwise see if you can locate one that will shut off.

Yes it shuts off when charged and also shuts power off to the charger until voltage in battery drops to a preset level. I am able to keep the charger hooked up for months without worry.

Yes, it is not a timer per se, but anything plug into it will turn off in the set number of hours, from 1 to 8 hours.

You do not have to worry about the time of the charge. The charger has automatic battery sensing circuitry and will shut off the charge when completed. I have had no problems the batteries and charger.

I DONT RECOMMEND USING A TIMER ON THIS DESIGN OF CHARGER, when the timer drops power to the battery then the light on the charger will stay lite up by using the battery (that you where charging) power. It doesn't get hot. I leave 1 (of this model) on each of my atv & jetski when ever my stuff sits for roughly over 2-3mths.I mainly leave mine on through the winter months.I have another brand (a old obsolete design I left a review on also) permanently mounted on my mower.After a couple years Id recommend topping off the battery with water if needed.Ive used trickle chargers for about 10ish years I DONT RECOMMEND USING A TIMER ON THIS DESIGN OF CHARGER, when the timer drops power to the battery then the light on the charger will stay lite up by using the battery (that you where charging) power.

There is no timer in the unit. The unit depends on the cars battery system to terminate the charging. In my case, Nissan Leaf, has it's own timers which can be preset for % of battery level of charge.

I have both kinds of chargers and use both but trust my better charger, not from enloop. I use a swiss charger with the read-outs and I know it will turn off charging when fully charged. I wanted an auto shut off when fully charged or it can hurt the life of the battery. I would invest in a better charger when you get a chance but it will do. Hope this helps.
