I got my halo g6 starter kit today (yes I know I should have researched and started out with something better like a twist) anyhooo.... I got the 78mm batteries instead of the mini's and I got one manual and one automatic. The instruction booklet says to charge them for 8 hours, use for 20 minutes then charge for an additional hour. What a pain. My question is... can I over charge a battery?

i sometimes forget to take mine off the charger overnight and all is good.. but safter to remove just in case..
Good to know. I'm sure I'm going to have lots more questions in the next few days. I'm soooo grateful that I found this forum.
Most of us just go ahead and vape on one. It's Not recommended around here to leave your battery unattended while charging. Also recommended to unplug as soon as you can.
Once you see the damage done by one of these little batts, you'd be surprised.

Green means that the battery is full, and as far as I am concerned, I do not see a point in charging 8 hours initially.
The 8 hour initial charge is not required.
Leaving a battery charging unattended for long times is not a good thing; I used to do the overnight charge bit, but learned from the misfortunes of others. Electronics do fail, and lithium batteries pack a lot of energy. While rare, bad incidents have occurred. Chargers and the pv overcharge protections have faulted, pv launched off charger like a Roman candle.
In my case, my chargers are controlled by a timer switch which cuts off power after 3 hours. Other people use charging bags which contain heat, though those bags still need to be placed on a non flammable surface.

That would be an acceptable truth, but the drawback is that the quality of the chargers is been known Here to not always be of good quality.
No argument intended
Sorry, but you'll need to contact Halo at this point. Five hrs sounds too long for those batts, no matter the maker. They may have just a short window to get a DOA replacement, many shops do.
Talking to their CS will clarify any misinformation that you may have gotten here and make clear any possible user error vs manuf. defect.
If you get too many defects from Halo, you can get the same batts at a popular place here called SmokelessImage.
