Battery Charge Question

[Tyrant Lizard]

Hey guys,

With batteries, is it cool to leave them half or full charged? Or should we drain them out if they're going to be sitting idle?

Thank you.

Always fully charged..and top them up if they have been sitting a while

Okay, thanks. I couldn't find any info on this in Barry's book, BTW. Did I miss it?

With Lithium Ion batteries it doesn't really matter. With the older NiMH, it did.
