Will it keep on trickle charging after my device is full? This is not very useful if it completely shuts off and leave you with a dead phone next day.

I don't know the specifics of trickle charging. But I use this product with two phones and they are always 100% charged in the morning.

I've never watched it to be sure but our two galaxy note 3's are always 100% when we leave for work in the morning.

Once the phone is back to 95 to 90% the charger seams to pick up again so your not left with a dead phone. Have had this for a while and have never had a problem with it

I've left my phone on the charger for more than a day and it was fully charged when I took it off.

I have two of these and haven't experienced any shutting off unexpectedly. Possibly a defective unit? You can try it on other devices to rule out if it's just the unit itself or your phone.

Just to clarify, are you asking if the charger trickle charges or because you are seeing charging go on and off?

It's a very slow trickle charge. It's great for maintaining batteries but if you have a dead battery and are in a rush to charge it this is not what you need.I'm not sure but I would guess my unit would take a day to fully charge my car's battery.

it says to do 5 full charge/discharge cycles in the beginning. I was only able to do 2 because it takes too long to both discharge completely and then to charge it back up. it lasts 2-3 days abusing the phone.

If you're going to have a battery not used for months at a time then disconnect it. I don't think this charger would be good as a trickle charger. The smart charging features I think would be too aggressive for long durations even on a 2A setting. I've kept it plugged in overnight to charge it and I think it only works well for something like that because of the frequency with which it monitors the battery. I would hope a trickle charger would only need to kick on every couple of hours or even days. This thing will monitor the charge every second and can even sometimes fully cycle the battery due to glitches in the smart charger. I've put a minor drained 12v battery of 10v and it wanted to deep cycle it. You can manually bypass that. Maybe now you can see why a trickle charge wouldn't be a good idea. This is an excellent recharger for any home (an I love it for what it's meant to do) but a trickle charger no.

I would recommend unplugging when not charging. I plug mine into the charger every couple of days while driving and it has never run the battery down dead.

I assume that you mean "does it stop charging once the battery is fully powered?" My understanding is that this one does that, and seems to keep the battery charged if it stays inserted. The small chargers that came with my tools did not do that.

No. It stops after the item is fully charged. It will then "trickle charge" to keep the battery charged, but not overcharged.

The unit doesn't indicate whether it charges and then reverts to trickle and I haven't checked with test equipment to determine if this is the case. I can say that the instructions indicate that it is ok to keep it on continuous charge. There is a built in fan to cool the charging circuit. I suspect, but cannot confirm, that it does revert to trickle after a charge. My unit is 2 years old and works fine.

I would not advice leaving it for more than a few hours after fully charged just me due to trickle charging is still on. I rather be safe than sorry.

The answer is yes.Your phone is designed with software that never allows a full charge technically. Batteries last much longer if they are never fully emptied or never fully charged. When you see 100% on your battery icon it is really more like 90%. The software essentially "turns off" the charging even when the phone is still plugged in (like overnight for example).

It trickle charges. The charger has no way of telling when the battery is full so it keeps supplying 5 volt power to the USB port. Personally I prefer this as it means the battery is 100% charged in the morning.

As in "If your car battery gets low will this shut down?" If that's what you mean then no, it doesn't. If the device doesn't receive the charge it needs to run, however, it will shut down. Your car battery won't drain with this turned on as long as your engine's running, thus, keeping your car's battery charged.

If you use it as a stand-alone, charge it after each use. I like a float charger, leave it plugged in all the time, no damage. Simple trickle chargers can shorten their life.

Yes. It will stop when fully charged. This is exactly how I charge mine. I leave it plugged in on nightstand and in the morning its fully charged and ready to go.

Understand that your phone is still on while the battery is charging. The drain would be longer if you use the phone at the same time while you charge the phone.
