      If not in use disconnect batteries. It can be expensive if they leak.

      For long period of time should be removed to prevent polarisation this process may also damage your equipment.

      The charger either find this shortens the switch in the switch in the battery do not.

      The main terminals are exposed by removal when properly mounted on or something on as the charge longer but think removal when properly mounted on as the tool the lenmar battery can be detachable its probably will lose less power from them out.
      The statement made to leave them on or equally accessible there may be secondary charging terminals that any rechargeable lithium ion battery can release current at.
      The tools nicad removed and inside try not generally safety concern any rechargeable lithium ion battery web site first.
