Does this stop charging once the batteries are completely charged? I am just getting my first heavy-duty charger (1-6s) so I'm new to this.

Cody, depends upon the charger you plug this item into. I can only speak for the Tenergy charger I've got, but yes it makes an audible alert when charging is complete and stops feeding the batteries. BTW, I've learned the importance of charging the LiPo batteries at a low amperage to get a full, deep cycle charge.

Not the paraboard itself. This is just used to plug in the batteries to the charger. It allows you to plug in more batteries

Yes, this will make the charger think that multiple batteries are one big battery. The charger will peak all the batteries and stop. Works great for 1S lipos. I would not recommend it for 2S and above however because you cannot balance charge each.

This is a normal behavior with battery extenders and overnight phone connections.. Modern cell phones and lithium batteries don't continuously charge, they stop when they get to 100% and then start again at 97% or so.This means once your phone is fully charged it stops drawing power from the charger, and the charger shuts off. So 30 minutes later when your phone battery is low enough to try to charge again the external power isn't there.

How long will the the battery charger stay charged after It is fully charged? Like 1 month, 2 months? Will it lose its charge after a prolonged period?

Hi; Don , Your battery tender will start the charge step 1. Then step 2 it will go into a maintain mode where it keeps the battery up to full charge. Then step 3 it will float charge the battery, in other words it will cycle off and on as needed to keep your battery fully charged. It will not over charge your battery it will keep it fully charged. Hope this helps... Mike

From what I have seen,Yes. Each time I have charged the batteries, the red charging indicator lights turn green when the battery is charged. From what I have heard, the charger does not continue to try to charge a battery that is full.Hope this helps

i believe the charger turns off automaticly after the battery is charged at least some do tho some chargers tell you that you are useing unnecesary electricity by leaving it on but i would suggest removeing the battery once it is charged.

It stops charging your battery when the battery reaches full. It does not drain the battery prior to charging. I use mine for my 14.4 B & D tools. Does the job it was intended for. Hope this helps.

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.

you cant shut it off, but all the times I have used mine, the battery depletes fairly evenly, never had one or more cells totally deplete while the others had a decent charge. I have only used it on 3 cell and 4 cell batteries. works great. are you using a balance charger for your batteries? that's all I can think of why your battery depletes so unusual. if not, get one that will also discharge your batteries properly for long term storage. you cant store them fully charged or drained.

I failed to fully charge batteries before I started using it and it of course quit working. I went to battery place to try to find the batteries or see if they would even take a charge. They wouldn't at the store but when I tried them again on the charger that was provided, they charged up again. It is now working again.

how do you know that the charger is the problem and not the battery?Just got one used defined 'like new' and after 6h on charge the battery still indicates 0% and when I disconnect the charger, it turns off

Basically an old wive's tale at this point. Modern chargers mostly detect when a battery is full and stop charging (or drop back to just trickle charging). I wouldn't worry about it unless a manual for a device specifically says to disconnect the charger after a full charge. There's so much mythology and repeated nonsense out there about batteries, chargers, and how they work!

I think it might be that your battery is dead, LiIon batteries are highly sensitive to overcharge, meaning that they are damaged when you keep your charger connected after it has reached 100% charge. Get a new battery and try to avoid extreme charge states (full discharge and overcharge) are bad for your battery, dont let it fall under 20% and dont chrage it over 95%!! Hope this is helpful

I do not have a problem with mine staying charged. I use Energizer batteries.

If your batteries are in good shape the charger will shut off when fully charged.

I use a Rexton Type 3G-03. It automatically terminates the charging when the battereis are fully charged. I doubt that it's anything special. The voltage supplies to the batteries and the current capability are the important parameters. I suspect it's also important to have a charger that terminates the charge when the batteries are fully charged.Frank
