Whats good for the Goose...

Like others that are fortunate enough to live in a place with real seasons I put my NC into winter hibernation 3 months ago with no connection to the world except the Battery Tender Jr.

Since then I've been thinking I should do the same for all my rechargeable gizmo's, don't they deserve (and need) a little TLC? Isn't it better for their batteries to be topped up on occasion? I'm not sure but I guess it can't hurt.

You really need one of these:

and some short cables: (there are mini usb as well)

I have this 5 port one and it is one of the best purchases I ever made:

+1 for Anker products - IMO they are the best out there

I only have the 2 port model, but wow does it ever put out some juice!!

Actually lithium batteries prefer to be stored at ~3/4 of a charge.....least that is what I've read.

I agree, but really have nothing solid to base it on other than habit. Except for my phone which I plug in every night on my bedside I don't keep any devices permanently plugged in charging and just top up the charge as needed. I maintain a testing lab at work with a bunch of rechargeable devices and do that here as well... only charge them as needed or about once every couple of weeks.
