Tip: Keeping Power Tools Charged

Newer cordless tools with modern lithium ion batteries are designed to charge the battery more intelligently.  From what is written, constantly charging them is less likely to have a negative effect on battery life.

Here's a solution for keeping an older battery ready for use at any time.  Plug a POWER STRIP into a 24-HOUR TIMER then plug the battery charges into the power strip.  Set the timer to come on for, say, fifteen minutes a day.  This method should keep the batteries  fully charged without shortening their life. See Ron Hazelton for the entire article.
