I appreciate your responses, and if you look at post # 7 I did state my previous question. Also I noted were I had seen my original question. I know there is a dissagreement, yet why can't we all get along? Also CGretired, put a lable on you packs telling you the date of charge and if it was a full charge or not, that will give you an idea on when you should check/ apply any "maintenance" on you packs. Hope this helps!
