I know it says that the station will let you know when the controllers are fully charged, will it prevent overcharging?

I'm no scientist but if the device knows when the controllers are charged, why wouldnt it stop charging them? thats generally how chargers work.

No, its a trickle charger and the current isn't enough to cause an overcharge. I have left it connected for long periods with out ill effect

I don't think so caused by checking battery not yet full ( show picture in controller )

Yes, You should put a charge controller in line to batteries, rated at the proper amps/watts so you don't overcharge batt.

It could just be the product. Sometimes I have the same issue with mine. Over time the connection between the battery and stand has become less consistent in keeping a steady charge. I spend a little too much time trying to find a "sweet spot" where my controllers will stay docked and charged. Maybe contacting Energizer for warranty information would be a good move.

It has no indicator that I know of. I have left it plugged in for days at a time with no problems. I didn't know you could overcharge it. It is one of my prize possessions, Use it all the time everywhere.

Yes. Charge controllers, like this one, are specially made to go through different charging cycles to extend battery life span and protect batteries from overcharging.Thank you,AW

Yes it is...its why i bought it. I was having problems with my controller staying charged and connected. This solved it.

That totally happened to me. As I said in my review, after switching controllers, I eventually found one that worked. So, I would suggest using different controllers as the charging point until you find the one that will work consistently. If you only have one controller... I don't know what to tell you.

yes it will not overcharge, once it drops below full charge it brings it back up. I have three of these and always leave them in with no problems

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.

Not that I have found. We keep ours plugged into the charger, just a blue light that it's charged and have not had a problem with over charging.

I have the same problem with mine. Had them both for quite a while now. Since i have 4 controllers, i have 2 charging docks. It only happens on the bottom charging station. Not sure why but it does. Finding the sweet spot is no longer worth it. Sorry i can't tell you more, hopefully soon i can find out why.

Well it depends on what charger you have. This item is just the batteries. But as far as I know, and this is what mine does, most of them will stop to prevent over charging. But you would have to look at the charger when you buy it.

It doesn't matter that much, lithium ion batteries always have a controller, anything else would be dangerous, it shouldn't be more than an hour or a few more, in any case theres no risk of damaging it from "overcharging".

The green light stays on (solid green).More description on the back of the device.Also you shouldnt worry about overcharging most modern devices should have a mechanism to prevent overchaging as a standard.

Mine has red for charging and green when done. The green lights will stay on as long as the controllers are docked.
