My take on that statement was that it is a translation anomaly. I have recharged mine numerous times without incident, and I feel the intent was to not charge the battery in an enclosed space.

Batteries can release a hydrogen/ oxygen combo. When left in a sealed container it does not allow these gases to vent out, any spark from the battery can potentially create an explosion. Apparently it is minimal gas created but if left for an extended period of time or charged in the container you might run into this problem.

I don't know. They caused me a lot of problems and when I called Neato, Neato told me that they do not sell certified batteries through Amazon. The batteries worked, but if the robot ever failed to make it back to the charging station and so got very discharged, it became harder and harder to get the robot to wake up again. I got so concerned, I called Neato and the first question they asked was "Did you change the batteries? Where did you buy them from?" I've since got another set of batteries from another supplier (suggested by the Neato tech) and although they looked *exactly* the same, down to packaging and labels, as the ones I got from Amazon, the whole thing is now working a lot better.

Mike,I'm sorry, but it's been a while since I bought my Champ and later I bought 2 extra batteries. Was the rubber and double-sided tape in the box with the Champ or were they shipped with the battery? I don't remember seeing either item. They can't be too critical since I've had my Champ for about a year and haven't needed them! I got a small piece of velcro for securing the battery in the Champ. That's important.Sorry I can't be of more help.PhilIt just occurred to me that I'm assuming you are talking about a Champ electric RC plane, but maybe not.

It is a sealed unit. The batteries are not user replaceable, but they do seem to hold up fairly well. It comes with a charge cable that plugs into it.

It contains a sealed liquid battery; while it should not be a problem to lay it on its side for a short time, it's probably better for the long term to keep it upright. If you're using this in a rack, you may want to find a rack-mount solution.

The key here is "airtight container". My family has used these gel-filled batteries in handicap scooters since the mid- "90's , including on commercial flights, with NO problems whatsoever. (commercial flights mandate these batteries. Regular electrolyte batteries (automotive type) are not approved for transport in handicap scooters or powered wheel chairs on commercial flights).Thousands, probably hundreds of thousands are used daily worldwide and I have never heard of a problem. Under what circumstances would you want to put them in an airtight container?

I am not sure, I bought more then one because all of my stuff was in different locations, you can leave the battery in whatever it is in, provided it does not freeze. I think hat charging more then one might be a warranty void if there is one, but that would be a question more for the manufacturer.

The battery charger is designed to charge the batteries and not to act as a power supply. I do have a new model just out that will milk olmost 4 gallons of milk. I will be putting it up on Amazon very soon. If you are interested in that milkier right now please let me know also send me youre e-mail address the new unit is 109.00 and shipping Thank You Dan Dansha Farms

Newer models have a voltage regulator so they can be left plugged in constantly, but older models didn't have that and could be damaged if left on too long, so you may get mixed messages about this. This is from the description here on Amazon: "The onboard battery automatically stops charging when it has reached a full charge--allowing you to keep the JNC660 connected to an AC outlet indefinitely without causing any harm to the battery."What I've done to insure I'm not leaving a few batteries I have "drained' but am also not leaving them plugged in 24/7 is set a timer on a charger to come on for 15 minutes a day, otherwise I "manual charge" them right after using them.

The photo appears to be a familiar Lead Acid Battery. If so, these batteries are usually charged when offered for purchase, but not always to 100%. All batteries have a degree of leakage which is normal, and does not mean that the battery is defective if received a volt or two lower than its rated value ....IF... a quick recharge will bring it back to its amp/hr rating under a load test.BTW, shippers should be aware of the hazards and restrictions involving the shipment of some types of charged batteries, especially by Aircraft.

It looks like the batteries have to be removed to be charged (which makes me question why it's called 'rechargeable'?) The plug cord is removable and works fine - but only to power the unit directly. (as I understand it)

Well you have to put at least two batteries in at a time and there is a light above each spot for the two battries, so there are two lights. When you put only two battries in the lights will alternate back and forth to "find" the battries then one will stay on, green, above the battries you put in to tell you they are charging good. The empty spot will have no light. Then when the charging is complete the light will just turn off. I can't remember but I think the instructions said something about blinking and other colors like maybe orange or red to indicate "not charging" or "bad/used up" battery. But the short answer is yes green while chargeing then off for done and they can't be over charged.

I have a battery turned around in EVERYTHING i pack that is battery powered. I dont know if it has an adverse effect, but from experience,m, ive never had any problems storing anything like that long term

I have only been able to insert the batteries one way. The plastic shapes on the inside are designed so that the bulge on the positive side of the battery fits just overtop of a mold, while the smooth side is tight against the edge of the container. If this is reversed, the positive side does not fit in, and the flat side juts over the mold so that the cover cannot close. I would personally recommend keeping only your charged batteries in the case, and using a rubber band or something to bundle your discharged ones until they are replenished. Or you could buy more cases and label them. That would look much better actually.

You don't see it because it is NOT included with the drill. Instead, it does a direct charge into the drill. I did not like this arrangement, so purchased a cap charger from Amazon. I have multiple B & D 18 volt tools, so payed extra for the convenience of charging all batteries at one time. This allows me to store the drill in its case, out of my way.

You can charge that if you can get it to work. I was not able to charge a single battery with mine. It keeps shutting off like it is overloading or something. Total junk. Buy something better. You get wht you pay for.

I know it holds a charge if turned off for awhile, but not sure it charges in the off position..It's winter so I haven't had it on for awhile...I think the system is great except for refilling the compartment all the time...They can't make the storage any greater due to weight, but still a pain....The system itself seems to work great and worth the money....
