Trustfire Multifunctional Charger Question?

[Horne4291]

Ok so I just got my SB earlier today. I also had to got a trustfire multifunctional charger. Of course from AltSmoke.com. But my question is... is it ok to let for me to charge my batteries wile I'm sleeping. I have two batteries. I charged one already full. Wow did it took longer than I thought! So yeah thanks for all who replies.

Oh I'm only using it as a 3.7v PV right now. Maybe in the future Ill try 6v vaping. I don't know if this would matter or not. Since I'm using the 18650s an not the RCR123s.

I personally wouldn't let those or any batteries for that matter charge while I was sleeping or wasn't able to keep an eye on them while they were charging. Although the chance is slight anything can happen.

If you are using a protected battery, then the battery SHOULD[B/] not be able to be overcharged. The charger SHOULD[B/] stop charging at 4.2v.

The risk is very low, but why roll the dice?

There was a recent thread on a battery explosion. -- I'll suggest what I suggested the other day:

If you have an old defunct computer laying around, take out the power supply and the motherboard. Run a power strip/surge protector through the power supply hole and run your chargers inside. Most computer cases allow for the side away from the mother board to be removed, so they provide easy access, but a good, low-risk place to charge li-on batts.

I only charge batteries when I'm home and awake to keep an eye on them. None of the batteries we use for vaping are 100% safe when charging and while the risk of fire may be small if I'm following good procedures, its not a risk I care to take by leaving charging batteries unattended while I sleep.

another suggestion i have seen is put the charger in a toolbox or other fireproof /fire resistant metal container.

Thanks all. Ive heard some stories of them catching of fire/exploding. I just didn't know if it was a special charger or not.
