I have Ego Mega T- type B system and I am afraid to leave the battery charging overnight for fear of damaging them. Is it all right to do this or am I right to be cautious? Thank you!
Is it possible to overcharge Ego batteries?

The charger has a over charge cut off switch. I plug my kgo in over night all the time
For safety reasons, do not leave batteries plugged in unattended. You never know when something is going to fail and cause a fire hazard.
If something goes wrong with your charger, you could over charge it which would be a fire hazard.
I like to keep an eye on anything I have charging.

I don't worry about overcharging so much as leaving something on a charger when I'm not home and the furry family is. I try to charge when I'm home and awake. Just to be on the safe side like mooreted said.
I don't charge any of my batteries overnight. I use an EPower which uses non-proprietary batteries.
While most chargers do have overcharge protection which will make sure the batteries don't overcharge, there is always the slight chance that it could fail. If it fails that's when you risk ruining the battery or having it explode.
It is unlikely, but it is possible. That's why I don't leave mine charging overnight or for long periods of time. Better safe than sorry

Odds are nothing bad will happen, but at the same time there is a chance. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
Look at it like being bitten by a shark while swimming at the beach. A million might might not get bit but the poor guy that does is in for a heap of pain & suffering.
Best to keep an eye on the batteries but a once in a while, "opps, I forgot" shouldn't be a problem.

i have the ego t as well, though i went with the type A. at anyrate i plug it in and leave it till the current battery dies then start over. i also carry a spare just in case. had a serious flaw in judgement one day when i only took one battery with me and it died, UG. still did not pick up an analog but man was i hurtin when ii got home lol
Hi Lizblue, i have had the ego batts for 6 months and charged many a times overnight no problem as a note we do have a smoke alarm right outside that particular washroom door.
I do practice to be home though and not charge when im away.
I did same thing Jerry did in post # 9 , got that dreaded flashing light on my ego when out and after that it taught me a lesson to carry a fully charged extra batt .
You know i since moved on to a mod but still vape that trusty ego and take with me in car as well.
