This is why multi bank chargers are available, get home toss your keys on the stand and fill the charger with batteries.

I rotate my batteries so much, its rare to take more then an hour to charge, usually about 45 minutes in my intellicharger, so waiting for them to finish isn't so bad. I do forget about my itaste vv v3 now and then, but at least those do shut off the charge at full instead of trickle charge.....as long as its working right
Today my new eFest Luc v2 got here, so naturally I had to try it out. 
It's got a switch for either 1A/.5A mode, use the .5A mode for 18350/18490/18500 or other small batteries, and the 1A for 18650 or other large batteries. The .5A mode charges about the same speed as the intellicharger, but the 1A mode...! good lord that charges up a 18650 FAST!!!
I'm plumb tickled with the thing, AND now I can see what's left in batteries I've been using in my Fallen Angel. Both thumbs up!

It has been said but I'll repeat, any charger can have a defect at any time. Another concern I have with charging unattended is a power surge. Storm related or not the power can go out, surge back on and possibly damaging your charger.
Better safe than sorry... Okay, there is absolutely no way to argue against that. Personally, I think it is not any more dangerous than any other appliance left plugged in. That said, better chargers, batteries and younger batteries decrease the likelihood of any problems. Most of the charges are only pushing 5 volts.

Well there is a low risk, I do charge everything while I sleep. if there was that many battery related fires there would be an epidemic as most are in the habit of charging overnight. cause No one wants to get up for work at 2am so they can charge devices they need for the day lol.
Most chargers are plugged into an outlet that has a lot more voltage than 5.
This is where I kinda Disagree.
It seems every time I turn around I see Examples of people Unintentionally Buying Knock-Off or Clone Batteries. And Many People are Pushing there Batteries, either Genuine or Fake, to the Bleeding Edge of their Abilities.
I think this causes a Greater Chance of Failure than in Most Consumer Electronics.
Also, with the Exponential Growth of the e-Cigarette Market, OEM can be pressed to keep up with Demand. Couple this with the Mind Set that 68 Cents less for a Battery is Good Deal.
When OEM must Produce at 100% Capacity, and when Price is Driven to Paper Thing Margins, Quality Control Often Suffers.
Put All this together and I would Never Recommend that some Charge Batteries Unattended Overnight.

You need more batteries in your rotation.

Winner, Winner. Chicken Dinner.
Of course not. But what's wrong with planning ahead? Like, the night before, while you're cooking/eating/cleaning up after dinner? That's plenty of time to charge a battery that you know darned well you're going to need the next day.
This is exactly why those folks who go "I only need one" are so wrong -- you DO need more than one, whether it's a mod or a battery -- one to vape while at least one is charging. And that's a best case scenario -- what if ONE decides that today is the day to FUBAR?

I agree I could probably use more battery's I have 4(vtr and purple efest) and always have some on charge as I usually drip or use fogger v4 at .3ohms so I go through battery's pretty quickly. I plan to get a second charger and like 4 more vtc5's
Bump.
Been charging overnight for 3 years with no issues. Just take the batteries out when they are done.

The thing that you overnight chargers aren't considering is: no, it doesn't happen often that a battery goes haywire -- and thank god, because on the rare occasions that it does happen.... explosion, house burnt down, body parts blown off, at the very least, blood everywhere... It's one of those things that even ONCE is ONCE more than you want to happen!!!
So you charge overnight; for 365 nights, nothing bad happens -- but what if it's a leap year? On the 366th night, do you really want an explosion? A fire? Bodily injury?
Battery mayhem probably WON'T happen. BUT WHAT IF IT DOES??????? Anyone who's lived on planet Earth for any length of time ought to know: FECES OCCURS! Wisdom is being aware that it COULD happen, and taking steps to avoid it happening, instead of blindly proceeding on that PROBABLY, and then cursing your luck when that feces takes place. It's not "luck's" fault -- it's your own, for not proceeding as if IT COULD HAPPEN.

Buy a charger that has auto shutdown and you're good.
If this was really a problem we'd have cell phones, iPods, iPads and laptops burning houses down every day. Can a 18xxx battery burn down a house, sure. So can a dead 9v battery thrown in the trash.
Let's live free instead of being shackled with fears of everything.

It's not that people are not considering it, it is that the chance fits with the level of their own risk assessment. I don't think anybody here is recommending that anyone else do it. I certainly am not, but admit that I have and will again.
Where one sets up their charging station in relation to other dangers and on and around non totally non flammable surfaces is probably the most important safety measure that the majority might actually adhere to. If these basic measures are not followed then even if you were there you could be killed or if lucky maybe just witness the fire. People do some very stupid things given half a chance
Seriously, we live in a rechargeable world, vape batteries are just one more thing on the pile.

sure it doesn't happen every day, but it does happen. And when it does, it happens to those unprepared
Just a Word of Caution.
A 9v Battery ...
... should Never Be Discarded without out First putting a Piece of Tape Across the Battery Terminals. Household Scotch Tape or Masking Tape is Fine if you don't have Electrical Tape.
And Never Carry a 9V Battery in your Pocket or Bag or Purse. NEVER.
The Reason is because Both Positive and Negative terminals are on the Same Side of the Battery, it is Very Easy to Bridge the with anything Conductive. Causing a Short and Possible Meltdown/Fire.
This is why 9v Batteries are being Phased Out.
