battery charging
« on: June 18, 2006, 08:59:18 pm »
Hi,

Can leaving a battery connected up to the charger damage the battery at all if the battery is already fully charged?.

I normally disconnect the battery when it is fully charged but just wondered if i just left it connected would it damage it at all?

Many Thanks

Dont think it can , i could be wrong , i leave mine on overnight and it has always fully charged at some point during the night , as yet it has not caused me any probs .

If your charger is not automatic, then your answer is yes, as it can buckle the plates, by causing overheating,and reduce the life of your battery.
