Should a fully automatic 36 volt golf cart charger shut off when it's fully charged?
Yes, it should shut off when the batteries are fully charged. If not it is either a very old charger or it is defective. You do not want to overcharge the batteries so use a charger that shuts off automatically.
What happens if batteries were charged longer?
You can ruin an otherwise good battery by overcharging it. Most auto battery chargers shut off automatically when the battery is fully charge, but there are manual chargers that do not. If you use a manual charger then be careful and do not over charge the battery.
Is it ok to charge your airsoft battery with a smart charger if the battery isn't dead?

How does the auto shut off system in a battery charger work?
there are several ways you could get a charger to shut off, most of them use a circuit that detects when the draw amps get low indicating the battery has full charge. when the battery fills with electrons a back pressure or resistance goes up
Can you overcharge a car battery?
You bet you can. That is why it is always advisable to use an automatic charger that shuts off when the battery is fully charged. If you do not have one then charge it for a couple of hours and then remove the charger and check the voltage at the battery. A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts. 12.4 at 75% charge, 12.2 at 50% charge, and 12 Volts at 25%. If it is not fully charged then put the charger back on a little longer.
Have a 480v industrial battery charger that still arcs when plugging it in after changing the 3 phase male cord cap the 20a outlet and pulled new wire?
Shut the charger off when you plug the charger into the battery. The low charge on the battery will cause arcing when brought into contact with the charger. If the arcing continues with the charger shut off check the diode bridge in the charger, there may be a blown diode gone to ground. Make sure that the output of the charger is smooth DC at the proper voltage output. If there is a problem with the battery, the over load protection on the charger will trip due to excessive current draw by a faulty battery.
How do you hook up a charger to two 12 volt batteries on a travel trailer?
For safety sake hook each battery to its own charger. Definitely do not try to use one charger for 2 batteries. Also, I strongly suggest using modern "smart" chargers that automatically shut off after the battery is charged. Trying to charge 2 batteries with 1 charger is a recipe for an explosion and fire.
Does a car battery charger break if both ends both touch?
In almost all cases the answers NO. All chargers have a safety cut off, where the battery is fully charged, or the amps are the same in the battery as the charger, the charger wil shut off to prevent over-charging and damage to your battery. touching the 2 ends ( + & - terminals) together will simply give you a pretty spark, and reset the charger. depending on wot kind of charger u have, it may take time to reset automatically, or u may have to push a "reset" button, worst case is u may have to open the charger and replace the fuse inside.....
How do you choose which car battery charger to buy?
Purchase an automatic battery charger of at least 10 amps output. Voltage has nothing whatsoever to do with what you choose. It is going to be a 12 volt output charger if you use it on an automobile. You want an automatic charger that will shut itself off when the battery is fully charged so you do not have to monitor the charger yourself. You can also buy a charger that can be used as a booster to jump start a car with a dead battery if you choose. The Schumacher SC-1000A battery charger is an excellent charger that will charge auto batteries and deep cycle marine batteries. It will charge at 10, 6, or 2 amps. It is fully automatic and sells for around $45.
If u buy a laptop does it have the battery charger and the charger?
the battery charger and the charger are the same thing. the charger charges the battery and the laptop runs off the power from the battery. hope this helps
What type of charger do you need to charge 6 volt 2 mph kids motorcycle battery?
You need a 6 volt charger. When you buy a charger look for one that monitors the voltage level of the battery while it is charging and when the battery is fully charged it will turn off. Indiscriminate charging of a small battery can easily destroy it. Being left on the charger too long can boil the electrolyte out of the battery. A battery can not recover from this action and it will need to be replaced.
What does battery do if have bad cell?
The battery is dead - you would need to boost the vehicle in order for it to start , but once you shut the vehicle off it will not start again without boosting or hooking it up to a battery charger
