    What I do with my egos when finished charging- Check Temperature, Unplug and let rest 1 hour, First fire AWAY from face.

    Cold temperature- Unplug and let rest.

    Warm-let cool off, throw in trash.

    Hot- get container, put in container, and take OUT of house. Check charger, maybe throw that out also.


    Best to charge with wall adapter, Always clean battery and charger contacts, Do Not use damaged charger.

    I use joyetech Upgrade Passthrough. Has Protection circuits- don't have cheap/juicy charger- Unregulated 3.7, so I can run under 2.0 Ohms for a few hours.
     
    I don't think you will have a problem. There was one guy in Florida who overcharged his battery and it exploded, but the police determined that he was tampering with the battery. If you don't deviate from normal use, and don't screw with the internal workings of the battery you should be fine. I've left my batteries charging overnight probably dozens of times since I made the switch and have had no problems

    You may read here and there about battery failure and think it won’t happen to you. Six months ago I was at home and charging a 2400 mah battery on a Tr-001 charger. After awhile I wondered why it was taking so long. Walked over and battery was very warm, Took battery off charger, tested and it was fully charged yet charger was still in charge mode= overcharged and overheating. There are overcharging protection chips in the chargers and/ or batteries- mine had failed. Threw both the batt and charger out. Luckily ECF Vets had told me a long time ago to NEVER leave batteries charging unattended. There is also a protective charging bag that can be purchased or you can purchase a timer knowing after a set time it will turn off. One last point- most chargers that come with starter kits are low quality. Always a good idea to have an extra charger or, better yet, buy a car charger- also comes in very handy in case of a power failure.
    Most chargers will drain a battery if left connected to a charger with no power input. There's a lot of circuitry in there and it takes power to run it.
