Can you OVER charge a battery?
If so, what kinds and how? Be as specific as possible. Particularily interested in cell phones, cordless phones, rechargeable AA's and such, etc.
How long does it take to fully charge a battery of a canon 6D?
14 hours is plenty of time. Sometimes when you plug a battery into a charger, it will fail to start. And there should be an indication when you insert the battery. Check your manual and see what kind of indication you should get while the battery is charging, and when the charge completes. And incredibly, some batteries can be inserted backwards into the charger (but it usually won't hurt anything). Olympus batteries/chargers are notorious for this. So double check to see if this can happen with your gear. Try it again. If it will not charge, you have a bad battery or charger.
What does the red blinking light on my Ryobi battery charger mean?
Hi Jeremiah, I'm Ken with The Home Depot and work in the hardware department. The Red Led flashing, if the Green Led is off means the battery pack is either hot or cold. Your right about the red flashing means that it is in the testing mode. Here is a couple links about the charger. Hope this helps. http://www.ryobitools.com/product_manual... http://www.ryobitools.com/
Should lithium-ion batteries be taken off the charger when fully charged?
It's my understanding that electric storage in lithium-ion batteries is a dangerous, thing, but, with constant monitoring and measurement of temperatures, it has been made safe. It's also my understanding that it's very bad to over-charge a lithium-ion battery. Lacking actual facts I've been assuming that since my phone pops up a notice stating that it knows my battery is fully charged, that the electronics in this in this ultra-powerful multi-gigahertz marvel of technology would be smart enough to stop sending power to a battery that is fully charged.My newest phone, Samsung Note 4 actually says I should take it off the charger. He're my concern, rechargeable batteries have a limited number of cycles, in my mind every time you discharge that battery you are doing a little damage to it. Isn't it better to have the phone on the charger?Is my assumption that the phone can be powered without destroying the battery correct? Should I write up a patent for this unique idea that nobody has every thought of before? Or is Samsung just being slimy and trying to sell more batteries.

How do i charge a Ti- 84 Plus calculator?
There is no charger for the TI-84 Plus... Edit: Doesn't matter. The Silver Edition - in fact, no TI calculator - comes with a charger. Normal, working batteries don't die after a single week; they usually last at least six months for me, and that's if I constantly keep my calculator on. If yours are being depleted so quickly, then you're either using faulty batteries or your sister's calculator is malfunctioning. No adapter, either. If your sister's calculator came with a charger for the batteries, then the original seller mislead the sale.
Is it safe to charge a mobile up to 100% or to discharge down to 0%?
Yes, its completely safe to charge your phone 100%You should plug in your charger if your battery level falls below 30% . This is the correct way of charging.If you charge your phone until the battery dies or Below 10% the lithium batteries life decreases as it has to be charged from starting level decreasing the battery efficiency and performance.So, its better to Charge your phone when your battery levels falls under 30%when the battery charges fully 100% the android system automatically disconnect the charging even if you forget to unplug your charger.Note :No, its not safe if you are using your battery level below 15% as the Radiation in smartphones becomes very high at this point and may affect your body.Thank you
I accidentally charged my phone to 100% because I forgot to disconnect the charger. How harmful is that for my battery?
Lithium Ion batteries in smartphones are designed to work like a plateau leading to a cliff. They provide max current right up until they just don’t. Charging from 0% to 100% allows the battery meter in the phone to re-calibrate itself, but it’s bad for the battery. Charging all the way from zero to full uses one life cycle. After about 500 of these cycles, 100% charge (according to the meter) will actually be 80%—in comparison to what the battery could hold at the beginning of its life. So, charging from empty to full five hundred times reduces the life of the battery by 20%.The scale is exponential. Charging from zero to eighty percent uses 1/5 of a cycle. This means that you could charge your battery from zero (try to avoid fully draining the battery. At ten or fifteen, plug it in) to eighty 2,500 times and incur the same damage as you would charging all the way only 500 times.TL;DR: Charge your battery to eighty if you want it to last five times longer, and don’t let it go down to zero all the way. It’s not the end of the world if it goes to 100%, but try to avoid that if you want the battery to last.
Why does battery decrease even though it's connected on the charger?
As your phone is just over one year old, i don't think there is any defect in the battery, unless some manufacturing defect has creeped up now. I do agree with some of the other reasons given in the answers. However, I have a different point to make, which may just be the reason for your problem.I can talk about my Samsung Galaxy Note Edge which is about a year old. I have also seen this happening sometimes. It happened when i was using a non-standard charger for the phone and my phone was being used for some heavy download from internet. Although, the phone was showing that it was being charged, but actually my phone was loosing charge!I did some research and found that the problem was due to not using standard charger. A phone like Galaxy Note Edge has a fast charger. Any other charger (unless its of good brand) do try to charge the phone, but because it doesn't provide the current at the rate at which the phone needs, the rate of charging is very very slow So, it charges very slowly. And if at that point of time you use your phone, it actually starts losing charge.I have seen the same problem happening in my car, when i am using the car battery to charge the phone but moment i start using it (for making calls through bluetooth), the phone actually starts getting discharged.
