| Post subject: | Vagabond Mini Storage |
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. |

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. |
