A guy on KZ Rider burned down his workshop, after leaving some LI batteries charging unattended. We all do this, but I've taken to unplugging things at night.Ed
To measure is to know.

I had an issue with one a couple of times ..... I keep my tablet in a stand on my coffee table and it is always plugged in ..... One day I am watching TV and I hear a loud crack . The screen on the tablet was cracked and bowed out towards me ..... It had an internal explosion which caused the battery to rapidly expand .... Fortunately it was contained within itself .....This happened with two tablets.... I was told it was likely a result of them always being plugged in charging ...... My newest tablet has a feature that says ..... " Hey a$$hole. You've got me on charge all the time. So until you get your head out of your a$$ I'm going to cut charging off at 70% " .... So far it hasn't exploded ..,...

Hasn't the technology been around for a long long time for chargers to turn off when batt. gets fully charged? Though I've not found a trickle charger or battery tender that completely stops.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw.

I'm sure different brands do different things. My 30 yr. old Makita 9.9V chargers turn off when batt. is fully charged, you got to push the button back down (to on position) to top off or restart the charger. If batt. is already full charged the button will not stay down in on position.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw.
