charging overnight

[Tubbyengineer]

I use a thermal switch on mine, once the temp reaches 50c the power gets cut - end of problem...

I never leave mine on charge over night. I have a spare battery that I swap over to.

Have never worried about charging overnight before. Laptop, phone, toothbrush, satnav, small hoover thing, tin opener, golf trolley etc. But would never trust a cheap ego/usb thing unless I was watching it.

Tubbyengineer. Ooh good idea, where do you get them from?

Lol, It's a fish tank thermostat set to turn off a 50c, any temperature controller that will work between 0 and 60 will do, just pop the sensor bit on top of the charger or in the bag...

You can get some cheap digital ones on Amazon for about £15, but I had one lying around that I co-opted for this...

I use a nitecore charger and generally forget I'm charging so it often stays on over night. Got this one http://myepack.co.uk/batteries/nitecore-i2-intelligent-charger.html couldn't find a better price iirc.

I do charge overnight, but its in the middle of a tiled floor away from any combustables. I know i shouldnt , time for more batteries i think. theres plenty of horror stories. Also its said to avoid a charger with 'fire' in its name lol. im looking suspiciously at my trust fire now lol.

Used to... But after earliers events, not a chance.
Going to get an xtar wp2 ii Tomorrow, and hopefully that'll be a bit better than my cheap POS (Which was actually an ultraFIRE...)
