Default RE: Another Battery Question : Bah!

Thank you for the replys, and thanks for the link to a great site rodney!
Simply connect your regular wall module charger that came with your system to an appliance timer. Intermatic makes a good unit for around $5.00. Set the trigger pins on the timer so that it is on for 1 hour a day. When you return from a flying session turn the timer wheel so that the on off triggers come up in 14 to 16 hours. Then turn the timer knob to on. This will give your pack a full charge and then a sustaining charge for 1 hour a day. The battery can be left in this manner for a long time between flights and still be maintained at a fully charged state with minimal overcharge
so this means my plane should always be ready to fly?
is this a bad idea?
There is so much to learn about all this, not just how to fly!
thank you
Kevin
P.S. is the gp triton a good field charger? is it also a cycler?
