Re: Charger electricity use.

When the battery voltage equals the charger voltage, current stops flowing.

Normally a good thing, but some chargers supply higher voltages than the battery is designed to be held at for prolonged periods, so overheating can occur within the battery. And that can be disastrous in the extreme, so many chargers have timers and/or heat sensors to cut off supply altogether.
