Do you have to take them off charge as soon as they are done charging or can you leave them on charge a little while longer? Thank you!

You can leave the batteries on the charger to no detriment.I've left mine on for days, even. Do disconnect them if it stays in "charging" for entirely too long (I'd say over 24 hours) as that might blow your batteries up. I've never seen this though.

A battery may be left on the charger after fully charged. The charger changes mode when the green light goes steady and drops the charging current. The batteries remain cool after that. If the light stays flashing after days, I wouldn't recommend leaving that battery on the charger.

I've kept mine on the charger without any issue. I prefer to keep them plugged in so I have them in case of emergency. Only had them a few weeks or so.

We leave them on a little while longer without noticing any harm - and nothing in the packaging of any charger I've had suggests you have to get the batteries off immediately. I wouldn't store my batteries there :) But all that happens is the light for the charged battery goes solid and the others continue charging if needed.

Don't know...haven't tried. I usually need to use them right after they're charged.

They turn on when it gets dark and off when daylight begins. Depending on the charge they might fade out at some point. They are not very bright so not a big deal when they stay on.

Either or, you can take them out of the charger, leave them in the charger, leave it plugged, etc. the charger shuts off to stop the batteries from over charging when the light turns green.

My under standing has alway been to fully charge them before use and then run them down to like 5 percent before fully charging again. I think you are supposed to do this the first few charges. I have never really found that this makes a difference. Just keep I mind you won't get full battery life until your batteries have gone though a few charge cycles.

You can do both. I usually charge them, when not using them, in the off position. When I am using them for long periods of time and I notice they are starting to die I will plug them in. Either way is fine though.

I charged mine for 24 hours before using them. They work great! I have noticed that when they are not plugged in they only stay charged a couple of hours.

Recharge these anytime. In fact, best to NOT let these run down entirely, as these (unlike Ni-Cad) have no 'memory.' Mainly don't overcharge. These take about a 2 hour charge, and overcharging in an attempt to bring them up to full capacity cause battery 'stress.' You can get the full, more scientific answers to your questions if you Google. Also, remove from charger after charging.

I cannot answer that fully. I have not left them on long enough for them to lose charge. I have the manual at home. So I would guestimate 15 hrs? Maybe more, maybe less. Best bet is the manual, what it says, but if you don'g actively correct them for a long period I would think it would hold charge a little longer

That would be up to you, you said they work , how long do they stay on? You should be at least get a few hours out of them we use several of these at our shop and have had a variety of problems that being said , they are the best solution we have found for the price, I left one charging overnight and it finally turned green .

I do - they don't continue to charge as when the light goes off it stops charging - to start the charging again you have to unplug for a few minutes and then replug it in. I do this as I have solor outdoor lights (both AA & AAA) so I leave a few of each in the charger and only remove a couple at a time as needed.

No the red light should be on when charging them and go off when they are charged. I would return them and get another pair.

My own personal experience was that the FIRST time I recharged them it took a longer than expected time -- almost three hours. After that it took roughly two, depending on how depleted the charge was. (It is okay to "top them off", unlike rechargeable AA batteries.) Yes, the light does change when it is finished charging.Hope that is the information you need.

I was told to take them off the charger as soon as the light turned green. Don't leave them on the charger.

you can charge them as much as you want they don't acquire a 'memory' but as soon as the fully charged light comes on remove from charger they can be damaged by being left on charge they don't seem to discharge just lying around the mah hours on these batteries are greatly overstated

I do not even try to use them until I charge them fully. I can't see how they could come fully charged.You never know how long they were on the shelf.

Generally not very quickly, as long as the batteries have a decent charge, they are okay. No, I don't have to partway through charging, unless they'd be down already. (I often use rechargeable batteries, like Duracell's, or Energizer's, and make sure they're full, before using.) Hope this helps and thanks for asking.
