How long should I charge this battery? Can I leave it on the charger all the time? Is it bad if I forget to take it off charger for a day or two?

As with all rechargeable batteries it will last longer if you fully charge (over night) and use it until it needs changing again.

As I understand from the instructions, you can leave the battery in the charger. It will not overcharge.

One or two hours at most. The worst thing is to run them all the way down, then put on the charger and forget about them. If you will look on Amazon. Under some or the batteries, they give you the do's and don't of how to get the most life out of your batteries.

You will need to charge it every day. I put mine on around 12am when I get in bed and I'm not sure when the battery dies, I'm asleep when it happens but with heavy use you will need to charge more frequently I plug them in every time I use them and they're always ready to go when I am, they charge fairly quickly IMO

Well i suggest installing the battery and letting it charge for 24 hours and then use the phone like normal. But never leave the pone charging over night it well overcharge the battery and you'll have a lot of power problems.

It doesn't hurt to leave it plugged it for a few hours to a day after fully charging. Letting it drain completely does more damage to the battery. For a more complete answer read this http://www.howtogeek.com/169669/debunking-battery-life-myths-for-mobile-phones-tablets-and-laptops/

Depends on how long you have had the battery and if you have damaged it or properly installed it when building your model. However I would recommend charging it for 30minutes if its low on charge and an 1 or more if you almost depleted it. However please charge the battery in a lipo lithium bag, because in some cases during charging if overcharged or any thing goes wrong within the battery cells the battery itself may overheat and catch fire. Please never charge it without supervision always monitor it and unplug it if not in use.

I charge mine 2x per week, but I don't use it every day. I charge mine at my computer. I also turn it off when I am not using it. If I have forgotten to, the battery drains very easily.

I wouldnt leave it charged all the time. Could effect the life of the rechargeable battery.

For a definitive answer I suggest contacting B & D directly via the internet. I personally would not leave the battery in the charger for extended periods because it does get warm and I am not sure if it would/could get hot enough to cause any problem over time. Heat is generally not a good thing for battery life. When charging is complete I put the battery back in its box with the protective cover over the terminals. It usually takes about a week of use to drain a battery and then I replace it with the charged unit from the box and charge the drained unit starting the cycle over again. I don't notice any loss of charge from the charged battery sitting for a week. My weekly usage is blowing leaves, pine needles and sweet gum balls off of 2 porches, a deck and 2 vehicles + cleaning the floor of a 2 car garage.

I leave mine on the charger all the time. I believe its better for battery life to run the battery down before rechargingso don't be afraid to use it...

Yes you can. You should charge it for 10-14 hours with first charge. Then you need to completely drain and fully charge your battery at least 6 times to get the full capability out of your battery...

Overnight and then I leave it in the charger all the time except for when I'm using it. You can't overcharge it.

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.

I haven't had any problems with it holding a charge. I have noticed if I don't use it for a few days it doesn't work. So I would suggest charging it every other day or so. If mine is charged it usually lasts a couple hours.

You're not supposed to leave it on the charger if it's plugged in. It will lose the battery life sooner. Only charge for four hours when needed.

I believe the battery charger has an overcharge limit which allows the battery to charge to its fullest no matter how long the battery sits in the charger. I leave my battery in the charger for about two days and have not noticed any problems. Hope this helps.
