Re: Battery Preservation

Jon,
I suspect that the charger has some leakage in one of the output components and that is discharging the battery. Using a timer to disconnect from the power line likely won't help that. It will restore the charge though when the charger turns back on. If this takes place over several months, it might shorten the life of the battery.
