This thread is also a good segue into trickle charging. I use a tender over the winter, but I've actually heard that longer battery life can be achieved by allowing the charge to fully disapate (dead battery) before recharging. I have seen benefits to this theory in power tools, but then again they are either NiCd or Lithium. Is there an electrical engineer here that can put this to rest?
