i cant really feel the actual battery as it is enclosed.. it came with a wallwart charger... is there a way to check if it is a "smart" charger?

You'll feel heat through the case if it's getting hot.

You'll have to check the instructions on the charger. Does it say to unplug it after the 36 hours? Then it's not. If you can keep it plugged in it is.

Does your r/c charger have an sla option?

I haven't seen a booster box yet that has any sort of smart charging. Most just have a walwart that is rated for about 12-14V and usually an amp or less and you just charge them by time. Even a 12V walwart will eventualy get to about 13.5V when the load drops enough. You could use the charger it came with to charge it then switch to one of these

to keep it at a full charge.
