This has probably been beat to death already but this is the beginners forum - so... here's a battery question:
If fully charged batteries in both the transmitter and plane (nitro) are used for a few flights, (say a total of twenty minutes) is it a good idea to put them back on the charger for the next day or should they be allowed to discharge further before recharging. I do understand the risk of having low batteries but my current radio system manual estimates about 90 mins of life, and, there is a battery life indicator on the radio as well. The batteries are NICad. Will they tolerate repeated peaking. What about LiPoly's and NiMh? This getting confusing with all the various batteries this hobby entails. My garage wall looks like a charger museum. At least I'm having a good time with the discharging part.
