Is this a "smart" charger that shuts off after a full charge?

I bought this because I lost other charger. Battery doesn't hold charge even with this so waste of money. I ended up throwing out this and drill. Do yourself a favor and buy plug in drill instead.

No. I leave mine plugged in all the time and i doesn't seem to damage anything. i've used my drill for over 8 years and it still works great!! I love it so much I bought a second drill. I lost my charger on a job site and ordered this charger to replace the lost one. Neither the drills or the chargers have worn out and my battery holds a charge a very long time. LOVE this product!!

As far as I know this charger is not smart. As long as it is plugged in, it is on.

No. As soon as you plug in the charger, your phone/stuff will do an emergency shutdown. All that happens to my stuff atleast.

If you have a smart charger when it's done charging the voltage will shut off. If you don't have a smart charger I would recommend charging it for 2 and a half hours.

I actually use an Energizer charger for my Eneloops. And, yes, it is a smart charger in that it stops charging when the battery is "full".And, as far as shelf life. My kids use them for their gaming controllers and swap the batt's in charger when it's time. I use them in my digital camera and don't have to worry about the battery being dead after sitting for month. I keep a new set in the bag just in case they do die on me. I also use them in my remote controls.I would not recommend their use in smoke detectors, clock radios, or anything that will put a continual and uninterrupted drain on them. Those are what alkaline batteries are for. I actually use an Energizer charger for my Eneloops.

There is an indicator on the front that shows percentage charged and it stops charging when full automatically.

Yes, it automatically shuts off. I love it. It charges fast and doesn't get hot. I carry it everywhere I go!

There is an indicator light that blinks while charging and is solid when fully charged, but it does not tell you when it is dying and needs to be charged... In my experience, it is good for one full charge at least.

If I remember correctly, it should just turn off. I used it for a dead but relatively new battery and it worked perfectly. Just keep in mind that it took three days or so to fully charge.

It stops charging the battery once it's fully charged. I have not had it overheat.

Yes, it does have an automatic shut off circuit when using the AC charger. It does not have this feature when using the DC charger (Car charger).

It will quit charging once the battery is fully charged. Its a lithium battery.

Oh.. If you are asking if the charger will shut off after the battery has been charged the answer is yes but it is recommended that you do not leave the battery connected to the charger all the time.
1056728
Yes! It will tell you it's fully charge when the battery is 100%. It will also tell you to unplug the device.
636886
No, as soon you put it on the charge it shut off and charge and buttons are non function while on charger.

It charges till its full then auto shuts off. Problem is after a while, it charges for 30 seconds then shuts off. Seems like batteries die easily. Hope this helps

No I've charged it time and time again with it off. Its best that it's turned off during such process due to the fact in its on state it will be corresponding as a active device.

No, the red light only designates power. The charger will not stop charging until the battery is removed or the charger unplugged. If the container states having a "smart" charger, it's an improved version which would shut off the charging operation once the battery was fully charged. I don't know if Drillmaster has seen fit to include a "smart" charger.
