Re: battery question
When charging the backup battery, the charger is not smart enough to know when the battery is fully charged. Once charged the additional current is turned to heat within the battery. Do not leave batteries on the charger over night unless you are sure they are fully discharged.

Re: battery question
Did previous year's models detect when the battery was charged? I know they have a light on them that turns green when it is fully charged and red while charging, but I don't know if it automatically stops charging.

There is nothing specified, however, make your inspector happy and don't bury it or velcro it to the top of your RC.
