Hi folks,
I'm gettingready to shut down my classroom fo rthe summer, and I have to
store my NXT batteries. Is it better to store them fully charged or fully
dischaged?
thanks
JD

Your batteries will just "loose a life" if you charge them before the
summer holiday - they will probably need to be recharged when you come
back.

Hi JD--- problably too late anyhow.. but I'd discharge the batteries-
no point risking damage if for some reason the batteries exploded or
were defective in some way...
