I don't why you got that idea. I would rather watch paint dry. The charger I'm using, once set, runs without any help from me. I just check the readouts every hour or two (or whenever I think of it) after the batteries have been charging for around eight hours. When the readouts say FULL, I remove the batteries.
I carry my batteries in sets of four wrapped with a rubber band and all the poles aligned in the same direction. When I swap out the batteries, I wrap the spent batteries with the rubber band but reverse one or two of the batteries. This makes it easy for me to see which sets are charged and which are spent. When I replace batteries in devices that use only one or two batteries, I just break a set and keep it in my purse so I'll know where it is. It is reasonably accessable there whether I'm at home or on the road. By having extra batteries on hand, I don't have to wait for batteries to charge before being able to use the devices that need them. While my batteries are not marked, I pretty much keep them rotated. I haven't had any run down on me while waiting to be used.
