● Continual overcharging which over time damages the battery housing.
● Incorrect chargers being used which leads to constant overcharging.
● Smart charger device failure which leads to overcharging.
● Mishandling of battery – being dropped is a common issue. 
● Charging in heated environment or direct sunlight.

● The SwitchStar removes human intervention – we all forget we have things on charge and the Switch Star stops power reaching the device automatically after eight hours.
● The SwitchStar can also detect any increase in WATTS over 2400 and will automatically turn off if detected.
● The SwitchStar immediately reduces risk if the smart charger connected to your battery fails, by ensuring no power is available after eight hours.

Ideally a home should have at least one installed in a garage or if you live in an apartment, in the basement storage area or laundry.
