You learn something new every day. Do you have a rough guess as to how long after "steady" is fully charged? Fuji X-T2, Fuji X-Pro1, XF18-55, XF10-24, XF50-140

Older batteries may not take a full charge and could probably be pulled off the charger sooner. -Ken

I plug it in around 8pm ish, after I am done shooting for the day, and unplug it around 6am~ when I get up. It will never "overcharge", it just stops when it reaches Delta-V Canon 50D - 17-55mm F2.8 IS - 300mm F4L IS - 70-200mm F4L IS - 50mm F1.8 - 580EX II & 430EX - Full Gear Listing

See above - the light stops blinking at around 90% charge; you need to leave the battery in longer to trickle charge to 100%; the charger won't blow out the battery if you leave it in "too long". Jon
