charging overnight

[breakbystealth]

been reading about charging and mixed info on charging overnight. i use a xtar charger and a safety bag. Is this a no no or is this safe?

 

[MadTz]

I personally dont leave mine on overnight and would never even think about it

 

[breakbystealth]

lot of mixed info on this one

best practice is to have enough batteries that you never have to charge overnight "coz you got no batteries charged for tommorow" i never have charged overnight .heard 1 too many horror stories even with a lipo safe bag

Agree with MadTz on this one

There really shouldnt be mixed info on this, those that say its safe need shooting, end of!

 

[MadTz]

the charger could be the safest in the world but i would still turn it off and pull the batteries not even worth the risk to house and family

I dont even leave my phone charging over night

I wouldn't charge anything unattended - I find I have no need anyway, I have 4 egos and an itaste, and most of them charge within a couple of hours, so if anything drains while I'm out & about, I just switch batteries and charge anything that requires it while I'm watching telly in the evening
