Is it harmful to leave it on the charger after it is charged?

Leaving the battery in after it's charged won't harm the charger but, it can shorten the life of the battery. Batteries need to be cycled between a full charge and discharge for a long life. A few hours won't harm anything but, I wouldn't recommend leaving it on the charger when not in use.

My stinger is over 8 years old. It always sits in the charger when not in use. The charger switches to maintenance mode when the flashlight is fully charged.

No. Streamlight actually says that you can leave the light on the charger so that it will be ready with a full charge at he moment you need it.

I believe It will not harm the battery if it is left in charger all the time, because when Green Light on the charger is on it stops charging.

I leave mine on a charger at all times and it doesn't appear to damage or effect performance. perhaps there is some battery expert out there who can offer a more educated response.

Yes, I leave mine off until I get down to about 20-30% power on until recharged to 100%. I'll turn it back off and I can do that 2-3 times per case charge, unless I forget to turn it back off when recharging the phone. Be aware that it does get warm to the touch when charging the phone, not too hot but you know it's on. Also make sure your lighting plug port is clean as if it traps dirt or anything it can scratch the connections and cause issues with the phone. Otherwise highly recommended.

It seems to. I leave it charging overnight and to my knowledge nothing wrong happens. What I don't like is the charger remains warm, maybe 100-110 deg F, when it is disconnected from the battery , but still plugged into the wall outlet.

I leave mine on the charger 24 X 7. Charging prior to a necessary use would, I think, not be a viable option. Just plug it in and forget it. It will be ready when you need it.

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

Mine did the same thing. Just leave it in. It charges just fine (even though it saus differently)

Yes you can leave it on the charger. My father leaves his on the charger and only takes it off when he needs to use it.

not sure. I don't think you need to keep it on the charger. I can try and let you know if you ask me in a week.

Actually, I've never tried to use it while it's connected to the charger because the thing holds a charge FOREVER. So, unless you're a Sasquatch who is trying to achieve the "smooth" look, I can't imagine that not being able to use it "while charging" could be an issue. For the record, too, I do NOT leave it connected to the charger 24/7. In the six or seven months I've owned it, I don't thing I've plugged it in to the charger more than three times MAX.

Yes, to a point. While no damage is done to the charger or batteries outright there will be over a period of time be a shortened life of the batter itself. As with any rechargeable power source it is best to deplete it as low as you can before recharging. Leaving it constantly plugged in means continuous heat which shortens the life span of the battery.

No, the directions say you shouldn't because it could overheat. But it charges very quickly (5-10 minutes) and stays charged for weeks.

.Direction say to leave it on the charger all the time except for when you're using it so it will be charged whenever you need it

Yes you can leave it in the charger when not using. I had some problems charging in my garage when the temperatures were above 90 degrees, the red light flashes on the charger. I had to bring the charger inside the house and let it cool down before the green light would flash and it would charge. It takes about 5 hours to charge completely.

No u need to place it directly on the charging pad for it to charge. U can leave the bad on all the time if u want it goes in the fone case near the battery

I don't know. I've left it plugged in with batteries an hour or so after charging was done with no bad effects. Never tried it longer--never had the occasion to do so.
