Atty`s left on shiney`s.

[jeffc]

Hi All.
Is it safe to leave atty`s with juice in attached to the mod (Vamo, LT, etc),whilst not been used.
Or should they be stored in rack separately ????.
Don`t wont to have possibility of leakage ??
Thanks.
jeff.

if they dont leak then leave them on off if they leak leave all mine attached

[piper1]

To be honest same as andy unless it's top heavy.

[Bluefish]

yeah leave mine on all the time.

[Karma]

I don't leave mine on and I remove batteries if I'm not going to be using them for a few hours

I do leave cartos on my back up Egos though!

[kibbster]

I leave mine on too.

[Banky]

I leave mine attached, they dont get a chance to leak.

[bomberharris]

Yep always leave mine on

I'm a lazy git and leave everything attatched , I also charge my batteries and leave them unattended overnight

I am probably not the right person to listen to

[Skwoddy]

Im positive your not alone Storm

Maybe I should know better being an electrician but my spidy senses tell me it's probably ok .............. isn't it

I have a touch of the OCD I remove all attys gently blow down to clear anything wipe the connector, wipe my battery plates switch them off till morning. Ahhhh peace lol

[farzooks]

I leave mine attached, on its side, on the desk and it doesn't leak. None of them have leaked while they're the one that's actually in use.
A couple of them leak slightly if they're not in daily use and I store them upright in empty Abbott Freestyle flip-top canisters. Some on here will know of these

maybe its an electrician thing storm,i am the same, i think from years of power tool batteries and leaving on charge until i need them,perhaps i ought to get in the habit of not,i am sure my makita chargers are vastly superior to ecjg ones.

[kibbster]

My phone is permanently on charge unless I need it and I don't worry about that.
But the couple of stories about cheap batteries going bang in chargers I have seen over the past couple of months are enough to worry me.
I suppose compared to the 1000s sold it's not many but that's only two from people on forums, there may be loads of other exploded batteries.

Either way, I try to remember to pull the batteries out of the chargers when they're charged or if I'm not around.
Especially when I go to bed.
My job involves working with fire brigades round the world so I guess that makes me a little more paranoid
