It never occurred to you to keep the nicad or NiMH battery bank full of charged batteries and swap them out?

You can't even leave the lithium ion batteries plugged in when you aren't using them for long periods, they swell. Which is bad.

I am not sure if you are making a joke or trying to troll me, but either way I laughed. So thanks for that.
