Is it ok to leave them in the charger while i wait for my chuck? They are the 18650.......i dont want to ruin them before i get to use them!!!

I'd charge them up now, and then set them aside.

When you get your chuck, toss em back on the charger. Chances are they will only need a moment of a top up, if anything.

Believe me, my batteries are aching to get used on the Chuck too.

they are fully chargerd now...i should take them off??

Yeah, no reason to leave them on, unless you want to waste electricity.

I keep mine charged, and when I want to use them on a fresh device, I pop em back onto the charger. Sometimes they need about 30 sec-1 min to flash green again, if any time at all.

ok, you're right, im taking them off, lol no reAson to be lazy

The chargers are not the most sophisticated electrical equipment out there. The instructions on most of them say not to leave them plugged in when unattended. I also turn mine off when I go to bed. There's no reason not to.

I read on some vendors site that if you leave them on, it actually wears them out faster. I try to take mine off as soon as they are charged.
