Quick question

[sleedale]

Especially for ronaldo, but anyone really......off to bed soon, MVP is almost dead......safe to leave charging overnight? Have charged quite a few times no heat on charger, lead or MVP etc etc etc. or is it just too big a risk? 

oh, and my flavours seem to be reappearing.......at long last

I have always left mine on to charge overnight and I'm yet to run into any issues.

Its always better to be on the side of caution.

I wouldn't advise leaving anything charging overnight.

Mmmmm, 1 for, 1 against

If you have to, put it on a ceramic plate cover it with a biscuit tin with a weight on it, not close to anything flammable. Just rick reduction, of course not charging it unattended would be risk avoidance and I think the risk is very small thousands of these are charged all the time and I don't remember any fires, but the consequences are big.

[ronaldo]

I never leave anything on charge and go to sleep of course its your choice but the way I look at it is everything works properly until it gets its first defect but when is that defect going to happen 1 years time 1 months time or 4am in the morning if you can answer that you are a better man than me

I don't take the chance myself . . . mobile phone, ecigs if charging, all get turned off when I go to bed.

[sleedale]

Well, I'm off to bed, and it's not going on charge

However, I do regularly charge the iPad and/or phones overnight.

I know, makes no sense but have to do them sometime, there just aren't enough hours in a day otherwise

Night peeps, thank you for your help, once again. Great place this

same here every thing turned off fully and not on stand by !! Sky is so slow to come back on next day but I won't take chances with any electrics !

I wouldn't see an issue with it, I know it's not recommended too but I wouldn't worry about fires, just overcharging! Probably best not too anyway, just in case. But have a good sleep

Put it in a bowl of water, that way it won't catch fire....no, hang on a mo, there's a fundemental flaw in that idea, somewhere

One method of rick reduction is to use a timer between the charger and the socket. or if charging from a PC, set the PC to shut down. Risk still there, but smaller. Make sure timer can handle the current you charger draws though, and operates reliably.

Oh god ...! I must be a reckless crazy person ... Every night I go to bed there's a couple of iPads, couple of iPhones and about 3 or 4 18650s on charge ..... But I also walk under ladders

If I could only charge them whilst I'm in the house but not asleep they'd never get charged at all...

[VapingBad]

I used to smoke in bed and never started a fire, so does that make it safe?

My PC still powers the USB ports when it's switched off. YMMV.
