OH NO! I left the charger ON!!!
This is possibly my worst screwup yet. At today's meeting, I put a battery on our Schumacher 6A manual battery charger like the one here http://www.polsteins.com/cen62abatcha.html When we all left at 5:00 PM, I forgot to unplug/disconnect it! There's nothing I can do. We cannot get back into the room until 8AM in the morning. What can we expect to find? I really hope it will be okay because I don't believe this model charger has a cutoff.

PS. At first I was really angry that FIRST disallowed manual battery chargers this year. Now I see why.
