Can the charger be left on &amp; connected while using the batteries in a 24 volt system?

yes it can.....its only supplys 6amps per battery......i keep mine plugged in while cleaning and radio use....

acording to the instructions, it goes into a "maintenance" mode after the battery is fully charged, which can be left connected indefinately. I have not personally tested that feature. I have not been able to bring back a "failed" battery with this charger or it's close competitor, as tested on several batteries. It does seem to extend the life of a near failure battery, but only experienced on one so far.

I would NOT leave this on a charger. I believe that battery is meant to be run, up and down to maintain it's ability to accept a charge. Leaving it plugged in is not what it is meant to do.

It's OK to leave them in. I have the Nitecore quad charger and I find that the blue power on light is too bright when I'm at my desk so I unplug the charger and leave the batteries in. I charge both Nitecore Lithium and Eneloop AA & AAA. Goodbye Alkaline. (I use Panasonic D & C adapters.)

Yes you can leave it on the charger. My father leaves his on the charger and only takes it off when he needs to use it.

Yes. The charger is a smart charger. When the battery is fully charged, it goes into a hibernation mode and will maintain the battery, without overcharging it.

You should never leave a battery in a charger unattended. There is always a slim chance of a battery or charger going bad, violently.

Yes. You connect the battery with the charge controller. This is only for 12Volt battery. If you have 24volts, you will need to replace the charge controller with a MPPT one.

Nope. Since it's just a trickle charger, I just leave it on overnight. Seems to work well.

No, not recommended. If the required load to maintain the two batteries (assuming they are wired in parallel) is unbalanced, this can damage the charger. These are cheap chargers, save yourself some grief and buy two.

You can run the light while it is charging, I have done that for a few hours, . But i don't know about the 7/24 part.

This is a smart charger and as such it senses when to charge the battery and when not to with its built in circuitry. So yes, you could leave it hooked up to the battery indefinitely with no damage. Many people do this in the off season when a battery is sitting and not being used. Otherwise, you could be purchasing a new battery if it sits to long and discharges to the point that it can't recharge.

I can't say for sure, but my guess is no - the battery portion does not disengage from the charging unit, so I don't think there would be any way to connect the two.

I would not reccomend leaving any LiPo unattended while charging period, no matter if the charging stopped or not. To answer your question more directly, the charger does stop charging when it detects that the cells are full, so the instructions say but I would not just leave them connected. These are very dangerous batteries.

I would say yes. This charger allows you to leave the batteries on the charger so they have a full charge when you put them in.

Yes, you can. I've tested the charger while connected to a Watt's Up power analyzer, and once the batteries reach a near-full charge, the amperage the charger pulls in begins to lower. Once the batteries are fully charged, the power analyzer shows 0A of current flowing between the wall adapter and the charging base, meaning the batteries are no longer drawing a charge and thereof are not overcharging. You'll be fine leaving them plugged in, though I wouldn't keep them plugged in for days on end just because you don't need them to trickle charge and lithium batteries have a very slow self-discharge when being stored between uses.

Yes, you can leave it connected all of the time. It'll automatically stop charging when the battery is full. But why would you want to? The charger is always converting 110v AC house current to 12v DC battery charging current. That produces heat and wastes electricity (aka $$$). I unplug mine when the light goes green meaning the battery is charged.
