Q. Can you leave the batteries on charge until you need them. Is it possible to overcharge?
A. Hi Nicholas, thank you for your question. This charger will switch into a trickle charge mode once the batteries are fully charged. The unit should really be switched off, the batteries would hold charge once fully charged.
