I have 4 planes that I normally like to fly. I usually go flying spontaneously and I would like to keep the RX batteries toped off. Do you think it would be a ok idea to leave the RX batteries on the charger all the time (after they are fully charged) and have the chargers plugged into an outlet that is on a timer for 30 minutes or so a day? I am wondering if that is a bad idea for battery life or capacity issues.</p>
I did exactly that for many years and know many other people who do the same. I set the timer for 1 hour a day.
But I also know a very experienced instructor who never charges until he ia driving to the field then he plugs in a peak detect fast charger as he leaves and has toasty warm batteries when he gets to the field.
