Can I keep the charged batteries in the charger or do they have to be stored unplugged.

I always like to keep my electronics unplugged, once is full charger I'll inplugged

You can keep them in the charger when not using them. Or, at least I do and they still work!

Either or, you can take them out of the charger, leave them in the charger, leave it plugged, etc. the charger shuts off to stop the batteries from over charging when the light turns green.

To preserve the health of batteries it is always a good practice to keep them stored elsewhere once they are fully charged. Also which ever device you have them in like a camera. Good practice if you know you won't be using that device for a while to remove them. Always store batteries in a dry cool area around room temperature. Hope that answers your question.

I would say either works. Most recharge stations have a mechanism to not charge anymore once its fully charged. I have had mine for 5-6 months and I keep them plugged in, and I have not experienced any degradation of charge life or anything. I guess it would be your preference.

Yes, but they can be slightly discharged. It's best to charge them when they arrive. You won't do any harm because the charger is smart (unlike the old-school chargers, "dumb chargers," that used timed charging methods).

I am sorry, but I do not know the answer to this question. I normally put them on the charger and put other batteries in the unit the batteries were removed from. I put the discharged batteries in my charger, two or four at a time, plug it in and go about my activities. When they are charged the charger light turns off and I remove the charged batteries when I notice they are charged. Usually it will be the next morning or in the evening. It is not uncommon for batteries to be in the charger for eight to 12 hours. Tom Kerr

I store mine in the garage. It is only a little larger than a shoebox and has a carry handle. It has to be plugged in to an electrical outlet to charge the uncharged battery, for me that usually involves using an extension cord also.

In our application we have had batteries in the charger for a year and a half, with no ill effect, so far. We have 3 batteries and rotate them thru the charger. Yes, no problem leaving them in the charger

You can put batteries in the machine without it being plugged in and they will discharge. This is a great machine that has lasted much longer than the cheap $20 chargers. Good quality and fast on charging.

I always kept mine fully charge and in my purse for backup. The batteries will be fine, I used mine for a year like this until I got a new phone. The batteries are still in great condition. The true worry comes from leaving them on the charger to long it cause the battery to get hot and expand which makes them go bad much faster.

Yes is the easy answer, But... If you research general information on Lithium-Ion Batteries you will learn that Full Charge is not ideal for storage. So, if you can, take them out of the charger.

I would say yes. This charger allows you to leave the batteries on the charger so they have a full charge when you put them in.

i understand battery charger should not be wired to the battery while the vehicle is in use. good luck.

Yes, just be very careful that you put them in correctly. Otherwise, any remaining charge in the battery will melt the charger.

It's recommended to always keep the clippers plugged in when not in use; the instructions state that this will keep the unit charged and more importantly will not overcharge. This increases the longevity of the batteries instead of continually letting them fully deplete.

All Dewalt batteries should be left in there chargers pluged in when not In use. They will have a longer life. Dewalt designed the chargers to maintain and replenish a charge only when the battery needs it. I have many Dewalt tools and have talked directly to Dewalt about this . Hope this was helpful.

You can leave them in without causing any damage since the charging current is stopped once he green light goes out. This is a handy feature for those of us that like to start eneloop pro cells charging on several of these chargers before going to bed. No need to babysit these eneloop batteries or chargers, when you see they're done feel free to take them out, but they can indeed be left in if you're not at home or sleeping when they finish charging.

I keep one battery on the charger at all times, and switch them once every other day or so. As long as the battery will not be sitting there for several weeks, it will be fine.

You should never leave a battery in a charger unattended. There is always a slim chance of a battery or charger going bad, violently.

Store your batteries fully charged. Also, try to avoid letting lithium ion batteries (like the ones in cell phones) discharge completely after the initial 4-5 cycle "break in" period.. Repeatedly draining them all the way can shorten battery life. Most battery chargers have a protection circuit built in so leaving a battery in the charger past the time it is fully charged will not harm it.
