MY LHS has a 75% off sale on RC stuff (closing out) so I got myself a starter and battery. I don't really plan on using it though, just got it for emergencies (my wonderful OS 46AX starts with the FIRST flip now, EVERY TIME!) So how do I go about charging it? I understand how to do the initial charge, but how often should I recharge it, and at what amperage and for how long? Do pb batteries drain themselves like Nicad's and Nimh's? Or will one charge be good for the season if I don't use it?

Thanks.
