I don't think so but.........battery question

[Pissy]

I converted my 75 year old mother to pv and she has cut her smoking down by 2/3, hooray for her. I now have her direct dripping with drip tips on an Ego PT. She asked me today if the batteries can overcharge, leaving it plugged in too long. I told her that I believe there to be circuitry installed in them to cut off voltage when they reach a full charge. Am I correct?

TIA,
Pam

you are correct, but it's not really a great idea to leave batteries on the charger for extended periods of time.

WOOHOO MOM!!!! Way to go! Big kudos to you Pam for having converted your Mom and for being an awesome daughter.

Oh, and it's not a good idea to leave the batts charging overnight.

I know it's not a good idea to leave the battery left in the charger....but I did an oops. I just realized I left my battery charging in my computer at work, oh boy. but I do shut down my system at night...so it should be good right?

Thanks for the replies guy and gals, going to post in the General forum area, she wants a little more info. You folks are great here, taking the time to help others, once again, I appreciate the replies.

I have not seen any thorough testing performed on the eGo to determine if the charging method is proper.

Considering the very high failure rate of ecig "kit" batteries, I would lean towards believing that the chargers do NOT properly terminate the charge. Protection circuits do not produce proper charge termination.

Guilty until proven innocent is my motto with li-ion chargers. Always assume the worst. I've tested more li-ion cradle chargers than you can shake a stick at, most fail miserably to follow proper safe charging and termination methods. I have no reason to believe that these ecigs are using "better" chargers than the equally cheap chinese cradle chargers.
