Hey, all...

I just bought one of those little 4" battery-powered random orbital buffers from Simoniz - The one shaped like a hand drill, where the battery slams into the handle....

Anyway. No manual with this thing, and I have a question about the battery charger. I just want to confirm if I can safely leave the battery in the charger for longer than the 5-hour charge time... presumably the little red light will go out when the battery's fully charged...?

If someone who has one of these beasties could confirm, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!!

Was it cheap and rechargeable ? Then I very much doubt it. Those cheap chargers are as crude as they can possibly manufacture - battery longevity is just not a consideration for them.

It's not even _advisable_ to use that charger at all, if you have a better quality NiCd or NiMH charger to hand.

Proprietary battery. It's about the size of 2 glowsticks lashed together. I wouldn't be able to use anything standard-format.
