charger for dse 901

[jimgman]

manual says unplug after charging. anyone leave thiers plugged in all the time? getting annoying reaching behind the nightstand a few times a day, lol....wondering if people have had good or bad luck leaving it in all the time. the green light being on all the time with no battery charging makes me wonder if its doing anything....

I leave the cord plugged in and disconnect the charger from it.

[jimgman]

lol, i didnt even think of that...thanks for the idea kate.

I leave mine on all the time, I haven't burnt the house down yet
guess I should unplug them really though seeing as one has been plugged in for around 6 weeks solid lol

manual says unplug after charging.

Please always do what the manufacturer manual says.

Li-Ion chargers do not fully cut off cause their controller must test the charge level with current pump pulses. This can reduce lifetime.

And use overvoltage protection mid-plugs to protect from thunderstorm lightnings hitting Your local power grid.

I just follow instructions. I wish somebody had a multi-charger for these though. I hate having 6 chargers plugged in.

Got a DESAN USB CHARGER from (SLB) ShenZhen Sailebao from heaven_gifts ebay:

Seems to work at first tests and is compatible to SLB but not RN models (He edited them out of the compat list) according to the list in the offer. But I would use it only as emergency solution at underway...

I plugged my charger into one of the automatic light timers. I set the timer to turn on for 4 hours a day. When I need to charge a battery, I just put it in the charger and slowly turn the main wheel on the timer until it comes on. Four hours later it turns off.

wow, the timer idea is brilliant! its ideas like that for why i post such questions i work at lowes and am gonna look at some.....thanks

Not recommended. The battery could discharge cause of the e.g. leakage current of the charger's output circuit.

Pls always ask Your sellers and manufacturers before doing such amateur stuff.
