High Plains - what kind of resistance are you putting across the battery to make your voltage check? Is this a good enough way to check battery performance? Do commercial battery testers test more than voltage levels? I wouldn't mind springing a few bucks for a tester but I do already own a digital fluke meter and if I can get away for the cost of resistor, why not?
It seems clear from all of you that I'm okay to charge frequently as long as I'm using the charger that was supplied with the batteries. Thanks for all the input.
You'll want to use approximately a 16 ohm resistor. I use a power resistor and meter to check my flight batteries as well.
