Does this unit have a "Smart IC" to forego over charging batteries via the USB ports?

Yes - provided it is a rechargeable battery The unit has a built-in battery charger

Yes. USB output is indeed AC mode. I cannot say enough good things about this charger. Works like a boss!

I have used the product for several months now, and never ran into any issues with overcharging or having the devices I charge overheat. I can't say it has an IC chip in it though... Hope this helps you.

No Scott, and larger/extended batteries no...I actually returned this, it was defective. And purchased Samsung Galaxy Smart Dock Multimedia Hub...it will accommodate your case and do so much more...and I purchased the Caseology battery charger combo (since hub doesn't have extra charge "station"...little more pricey...but well worth it...they latter two purchases are excellent! Hope this is helpful.

The one I got does not. It was the one drawback and I would try and find a USB charger that does do this if you are looking.

There isn't one. There are 3 ports one for charging battery itself. 2 for charging devices. The only button is power to turn battery on to charge it. In fact I just ordered a second battery I love it so much

The short answer is yes. The unit has an on/off switch. The USB cable will charge it while off and charge/power it when on.

It does have a USB port, but it is one of the small newer one (micro USB?) and is used to charge the battery in the unit It never occurred to me that it might also be a source of power for other units. I am curious to see if someone responds who does know.

Yes, the built-in intelligent charger with overcharge protection plugs in to 110V household outlet. And it has DC outlet with overload protection to power or recharge 12V electronics.

Yes. The charger is a smart charger. When the battery is fully charged, it goes into a hibernation mode and will maintain the battery, without overcharging it.

Buy a smart charger and you won't over charge the battery. It's worth the money.

No. Just two USB ports. One for power & data and another just for additional power.

Yes, the unit has a charging indicator light which blinks behind the green ON/OFF button, rather than the previous, vertical bar light.

No, this goes straight into the charging port. You can get an external battery charger if you port is messed up.

Yes. It has a external override button which works to turn the devices off when they are scheduled to be on or on when scheduled to be off. Next time they are scheduled to be on, they will turn on whether you have overridden them the past scheduled off or not.
