Batts sitting for a week--OK to top off?

[5r49cfu]

My batteries have been sitting around, starting at FULL, for a week--is it OK to top them off?

Thanks!

Yes, If you plug them in and they take a charge, let them charge. If they have not gone down enough to accept a charge, use them as is.

Interesting. I find that if I let my batteries sit for 2 or 3 days the indicator goes down at least 3 bars, sometimes more. I wonder if they need to be fully cycled a few times in order to be reconditioned.

Yes, that isn't normal. at least not for the 7 batteries I have. It takes about 10 days to lose the first light.
