Default RE: Battery Charging

ORIGINAL: snobelt
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.
Absolutely slow charge them the night before you fly. And check them prior to EVERY flight using an Expanded Scale Voltmeter (ESV). It's like getting into your car and looking at the gas gauge every day rather than simply once a week.
