Can I use a car charger to charge the battery for the Kgo ? the usb car charger I have is
input:dc 12v-24v
output:dc 5.0v +/- 5%
max: 500ma

it is the one that came with my safecigs,if not is there some place where i can get one that will work ? also one other question regarding the charger that comes with the Kgo. Can you leave it on the wall charger after it is charged , after the light turns green ? will it automatically stop charging ? or do you have to take it off as soon as it turns green ? I have read conflicting info on this , and am confused as to the proper way of charging. The Kgo kit i purchased is from Hoosier e-cig supply.

If that is a DC/USB adapter, yes, you can plug your kgo charger into that.

I would not trust any eGo/kGo type charger or the ciruitry inside the battery to leave it on the charger for very long after the light turns green. It is supposed to stop charging, but this equipment isn't exactly made by NASA. There have been enough cases of failure that it's smart to take it off. Don't panic about it, but take it off the charger, and unplug the charger, as soon as you can after the light turns green.

You can also get a timer to plug a AC/USB adapter into. That way, if you forget, the timer will shut down the charger after a while.
