VT,
I had not thought about the safety issues - very good point. The economics would seem to indicate a break even point that is pretty far out. I don't know how to evaluate a potential increase in battery life by keeping the batteries in a higher state of charge but I agree with you that it is probably not as much as the vendor claims. Running a few numbers will help distinguish between doing it for economic vs. novelty reasons, the safety issue you raised notwithstanding. Thanks.
