I used to worry about this, & maybe years ago batteries were not as good as now, but for a long time I have mistreated my batteries according the guys who still worry about it. I fly them as much as needed, or as little as needed & don't worry about the state of discharge -- I just make sure that they are fully charged before flying. I have not had problems & my batts last as long as theirs.

In the fall I commit a major sin according to the battery boys -- I charge them fully, then ignore them until spring, or when there is some winter flying to do. I cycle them in the spring & away they go -- just like the ones from my anal battery buddies.

Come & get me fellas --[sm=punching.gif][sm=biggrin.gif]
