Would storing a fully charged Vagabond Mini hurt the battery in any way ? I have 2 Vagabond Minis and after they arrived I charged them fully as the manual recommended. Right now, I'm having a hard time trying to get the charge below 25% on one of them, therefore the other fully charged unit is in storage. Would this cause any problems in the future ?

Storing fully charged will not cause any damage.

I have a mini and store have stored it for over a month with a full charge and it doesn't seem to have any negative effect on the battery. I've had my mini since they first came out and love it.

Storing fully charged will not hurt the battery. However, do not store a fully charged battery in a hot envrionment.

What do you consider hot? I live in GA and we get temps into the 90's

*I* consider 70* hot. It aggravates my Dunlap condition. The manufacturer only specifies "elevated" tempertures. Camera batteries specify 140*F, so that is a good reference point. This is not uncommon in cars during the summer. I measured 140*F in my car 2-3 weeks ago in the afternoon. 160* on the leather seats, 180* on the chrome.

sounds like a nice car....

Thanks for all yo folks do ther a PCB to make our lives or rather our photos better

A hail damaged 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis with over 100K on it. Dependable, comfy and serviceable. I loathe leather and chrome, but the point of mentioning them was to illustrate
how hot various surfaces in a passenger compartment can get vs. the ambient temp.
