Can you leave the batteries in the charger after they are done charging? Will this harm the batteries?

I think that the charging stops when has reached a full charge. I have charged batteries overnight and don't see any harm knowing that the batteries reached full charge sometime during the night.

I have left mine overnight and did not notice any problem. I think it would be best, however, to remove them promptly after they are fully charged.

You should traid it out and dont leave your batteries on the charger after they are fully charged.

I am not sure about this, but for the safe side remove the batteries from the charger any batteries not only the these batteries in case of over charge and damaged your batteries.

The batteries charge up pretty quickly. I have never left it on the charger for more than an hour so I couldn't tell you if it would harm it or not. You might want to contact Ryobi to check for sure.

I read somewhere you shouldn't leave the batteries and a charger. I have for tools now that run on those batteries. I use them in a commercial capacity And have for 5 years.

Have not done that. I personally do not leave batteries in chargers once charged. A basic fear of fire.

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 try not to leave them too long after they are done charging, but the times I have (a couple of days)there wasn't a problem. I wouldn't leave them in for weeks, though. I have read somewhere there is a very slight drain over time.

I have multiple batteries to recharge,so I keep rotating them. I never thought of any problem with keeping them in the charger.Once they're done,I take them out so I know they're OK to use

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

I leave them on the charger. I bought the batteries in a set that came with a charger and the charger I have auto shuts off once the charging is done. These type of batteries are also designed to not lose their charge over time as many other batteries do. So I would say that you can leave them in the charger.

There is no need to worry about charging time. Just insert the battery into the charging station and when the battery is fully charged the chargingstops. There is no harm done by leaving the battery in the charging station indefinitely

With these type batteries, you will want to use them until they are fully dead before charging to get the most out of them. I would not store it on the charger it self. Any other way will be fine.

No the charger won't drain the battery -- Nor will it maintain it... Batteries will naturally slowly lose their charge while sitting unused -- Plus sometimes dependent on where the batteries are being used (boat, Car etc.) there might be a slight discharge to circuit leakage . clocks, lights, and the like. Just plug your charger back in a day or two before you use the vehicle .

The charger SHOULD turn off or provide a low level trickle charge, so leaving the batteries in the charger should not be a problem. BUT, most of the chargers I have purchased over the years had "fine print" in the directions not to leave the batteries in the charger for more than 24 hours. Why? I don't know, but I make it a practice to remove the batteries after no more than 12 hours.

I leave mine on the charger all the time with no problem. But then, I use these batteries everyday.

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.
