Do you charge your batteries while you're sleeping?

[DC2]

I just saw two posts in the last few minutes where people said they charged their batteries while sleeping.
It made me wonder just how common this is, as I was under the impression that most people wouldn't do that.

So, do you?
Or don't you?

Yes I do charge my batteries while sleeping. But they are contained in a stewing pot open lidded, just in case. I'm also going to acquire a proper bag for charging in.

Yes, I do charge mine while sleeping, if it isn't charged before I decide I'm going to sleep for a while, then it stays on the charger. I know, slim chance it might have a problem but, then my other devices that charge while I sleep might too, the a/c or heater, still plugged in this or that, etc... might too.

Bigger chance of a coyote, raccoon, snake or, fox getting into my bird outside than a charging accident while I sleep.

I am guilty of charging my 18650 batteries at night. But I have a xtar charger that turns off when the batteries are charged. I don't charge my Ego batteries though overnite.

I charge batteries while I sleep all the time. My charger shuts off when charging is done and I have no reason not to trust it.

Always charge mine while sleeping (regular 650 eGos). Keep the charger right under the bed next to my Kindle Fire & phone charger. probably not the best idea to have a bunch of lipo batteries charging right underneath my head, but what the hell.

Strangely enough, I'm probably one of the few people who has actually had a lipo catch fire on them. It wasn't an e-cig battery tho; it was a small lipo from one of my RC planes. Smelled something burning in my office one day, came out here & one of my little foamy Air Hogs (of which I have dozens) was smoking & melting on the shelf. it wasn't even charging at the time...so it CAN happen.

I have two 18650's, one in my PV and the other in the charger. I usually swap them in the morning. I haven't used my eGo batteries in at least a year. They're probably all dead as a hammer. Reading this thread, I now see that one of my pass-thrus is sitting on my desk plugged into a usb hub. So that one might work, or it may be toast from age.

Yep but I don't use cheap junk batteries that have a fake wrapper on them or cheap chargers like 90% of the people on this forum. Most people see "protected" batteries and think they are safe. They don't know that good batteries have internal protection that the cheap ones don't. I wouldn't own a xxxxfire battery let alone leave it charging overnight.

I don't even with a charger that is suppost to shut off don't trust it.. just paid 900.00 in home insurance still don't want my house to burn down

Batteries I trust, yes. Batteries I don't, no.

I trust batteries from name brand manufacturers. FastTech knockoffs, uh uh.

 

[mattiem]

I charge mine overnight if they haven't finished charging when I am ready for bed. I do keep them in a fire proof container when I put them on to charge though either day or night.

 

[Shadav]

Not typically but yes I've been known to do so.

 

[mooreted]

I don't trust batteries. Even good ones fail. I like to keep an eye on them.

Guilty as charged...... he..... boy that was cheesy lol.

Yes, I do charge my batteries while I sleep.... I suppose it's risky, but..... it's convenient for me. They're ready for me when I wake and unfortunately I don't sleep well so they aren't on there all that long.....

 

[Grimwald]

Yes, I charge my ego types overnight. My wife and I both vape so I always have batteries charging. It is on a granite counter top and in a year I haven't had any problems...knock on wood...but don't charge on wood...just sayin.

I have an XTAR WP2 ... love it.

As long as it's floating in a bucket of water.

 

[Equus5O]

I do.

.........

 

[ppeeble]

Yep. And my phone. And my Kindle. And my camera. And my MP3. And my toothbrush. And my hair clippers.......
There is nothing wrong with being vigilant but sometimes we have to trust that the manufacturers have built an item to function as it should.
I also leave 90% of my electrical items on standby when i'm not using them. My house alarm is on permanently as is my microwave, cooker and stereo.
Just don't buy $1.99 batteries from dodgy sellers.
