Charging time for new AW RCR123's on UltraFire

i just purchased some AW Protected RCR123's and an UltraFire Charger.

After charging the new batteries for approx. 47 mins, the indicator light went from flashing red/green (charge mode) to solid green (fully charged). Is this the normal charge time for new batteries?

Should i keep them on the charger for a few more hours? If so, How long?

Also, when i start using them and initially break them in, is it ok to just leave em charging overnight? I plan to use my light (SF 6PD with Malkoff M60) occasionally during the day and night then toss the batteries in the charger even though they are still somewhat charged at the end of the day.

The cells are protected against over charging and discharging, so im guessing it would be safe.

Some thoughtful insight please?

Hello Toph,

Welcome to CPF.

Since you already have posted this question in the batteries section, I am going to close this thread. You can continue your discussion over in that section.

At CPF it is against the rules to post the same question in multiple areas. Please don't do this again.

Thanks.

Tom
