Last night i was so tired that i passed out without taking my battery off the charger. Its an AW Imr 18650 2000mah. The charger is a nitecore i2. The battery doesnt feel warm and doesnt smell like anything. The charger says its full charged. Is my battery ok? Is it safe to put in my vamo? Someone help me :(

if you have a multimeter check it for an overcharge. shouldn't read over 4.2 V. i've done this a couple of times and have had no problems. nitecore are smart chargers and are supposed to stop charging when done unlike cheap chargers that continue to trickle that can result in an overcharge. its what i use and it hasn't let me down yet. good luck.

You should be fine. The nitecore does shut off when a battery is fully charged.

I must admit I never leave batteries charging un-attended, but that's just me airing on the side of caution. The Vamo does have a protection circuit built in too, so there shouldn't be a problem using the battery in it.

If you have not done it yet, get the manual for your charger and read it. This should go without saying. There is no excuse for not understanding your equipment, how it works, what its features are and what maintenance it requires. I am not trying to be mean, but ignorance could cost you your house or worse, someones life including your own.
