A generic question regarding batteries

[shamreez]

Hi,

I have got some batteries all 18650's and I use a TrustFire charger for them.

I charge them and once it reaches full I switch off the charger.

If I turn the charger back on after some 2 - 3 hours I can see that the charger is indicating that the batteries are being charged for at least 1 - 2 hours before it gives me the green light saying that the charging is done.

Is this normal for batteries or is this a problem with the charger.

Once my batteries are charged I take them out of the charger. Im not the person to ask but my crazy logic goes along the line of the power running back out of the batteries and into the charger. Like having metal objects like keys in the same pocket as a battery.

But my mind is more messed up than a teenage geeks bedroom

Jez

Lol Jez, I was going to suggest the same thing, though also no idea if that can happen. I also always take my batteries out of the charger once they are charged.
