Maybe this has been suggested before, but in the battery section maybe there could be a little blurp about how to properly take care of DVX batteries. Maybe things about when to recharge, how to store, etc.

I just purchased a dvxuser battery and I am very impressed with its performance. A week after I received the battery, I took it overseas, to Spain for a project, and it has been amazingly reliable. Thanks!
