    Default charging the battery

    just got the 901 today, having fun with it...anyway. cash pre-charges for us (thanks steve),so i started using immediately, but i put the second battery on charge to "top it off". so heres the question.... should i be afraid of overcharging? can i charge overnight in general(like 8 hours)? think im gonna go up and take the other off charge to be safe...lol.

    Unless the charger is defective & is smoking or on fire within a few hours I see no problem. I frequently leave multiple chargers working overnight without any problem.

    same here, no problems with long charges. The batteries and/or chargers have a cut-off that drops the charge rate to almost nothing once the battery is full

    Cheese graters could also be marketed and sold as sponge ruiners. Think about it.

    I'm terrible for putting things on to charge (not just e-cig batts) and forgetting about them.

    I frequently have my e-cig batteries charging for a lot longer than the required 3-4 hours (usually left on over night) and it doesn't seem to bother them.

    Ironically though, I seem to count down the minutes until my initial charge has reached the 8 hour minimum charge required for me to try out a new style/ or new LED colour.

    another batt question then...if i understand correctly...puresmoker charges both? included batteries(or just the attached one?), but does not pre charge batteries that are purchased seperately? mostly wondering if he's doing it to test them i guess...

    Just got mine and there's a note from Steve that says he no longer fully charges them and you should charge for 10 to 12 hours.

    I got my first 901 from Steve last Monday (12/15) and both batteries were fully charged and ready to go. I know in the past (from reading the board) that sometimes he gets too busy to fully charge them, but he'll include a note if they aren't charged.

    I have a rotating routine set up now for batteries; one battery usually dies around 11:00 AM, and I let it charge until I leave work at 4:00. The second battery usually dies around 7:00 PM, and I let it charge overnight...

    Exactly the same process here.
