I leave my egos on the charger all night. 8+ hours every night. Haven't had any problems. I assume it shuts itself off when it's fully charged because during charging the charger is warm, and when the light is green it is cool to the touch.
Got vapemail, and a question :)

I don't want to scare you, but you really should not do that. Most of the suppliers carry a Lipo-Safe Charging Bag. You can put the battery in there when it's charging if you aren't in the room. Best to not leave a charging battery unattended.
Although not super frequent, there have been reports of issues with ego type batteries. The overcharge protection circuit fitted on eGo type batteries can fail. Like any battery.
Peace of mind, don't leave unattended. Or get the li po bag. Some people put their battery and charger in a metal baking pan. I think it was the year before last someone was charging their battery on a chair and the chair and her drapes caught on fire. Not trying to scare you and I'm not an alarmist type person. Better safe than sorry.
Thanks Caridwen
Good advice. I also use a Lipo charging bag while I'm home & awake.

Well, turns out THAT was a stroke of luck! (the eGo coming today) One of my cig-alike batteries just bit the dust! Won't hold a charge now. Unfortunately the 501 to 808 adapter for it is slightly 'off' and won't work on my eGo so can't use the carts. Hoping the 808 cigalike battery holds out, until I can get some carts for the ego.
