[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 92575, member: 3"] The charger would have an automatic cutoff to prevent overcharging however it's always not a bad idea to unplug the battery as soon as it's fully charged. The manual should contain charging times otherwise the status lights on the charger will indicate as to whether or not the battery is fully charged. These days rechargeable batteries come factory primed so there's no need to discharge / recharge to gain maximum performance. Modern NiMH batteries don't suffer from memory effect, so you can charge / discharge as much or as little as you want without any ill side effect. BUT, in saying that you are better to charge less often than often as with all rechargeable batteries they only have a limited number of charge cycles before they need to be replaced (age is a factor also). Cheers, Nugget [/QUOTE]
