Hi guys! I started vaping less than 1 week ago, so go easy on me. So here is the question. I've heard that there are dangers of "overcharging" batteries. Can anyone tell me if it's an issue for me to plug in and leave plugged in one of my batteries overnight? I have Genuine BIANSI Elife 900mAh Starter Kit. I also have a 5 volt wall adapter that I've been using with the dongle to charge.

So, is this an issue? Or is this something that everyone does? I don't want to potentially over work the batteries. Thanks for any help you can offer. :vapor:

Chargers are seigned to stop charging when the battery reaches 4.2 volts +-0.5. As long as that system works there is no problem Once in a while a charger goes bad and doesn't stop. This typically results in venting gas and fire for a short time. I don't charge overnight, or when not home. You can also buy lipo charging bags and put the battery in that while on charge. That will contain the fire so it does not spread.
