My wife gave me a Torx string (grass) trimmer, as a present. It came
with two, 20 volt battery packs. I now know that I can edge my house
several times. with but one charged battery.

I know that rechargeable batteries have a limited life - attributable
to the number of recharges and years of use. As I will never need to
ever use two packs, what should I do with the likely unused 2nd pack?
I am inclined to leave it uncharged, for _?_ years, until the initial
pack loses the capacity to edge my house.

Would storing that spare battery, in a "hermetically" sealed package
in our refrigerator (or freezer) be a preferred storage option?

Is rthere a different stategy, for the unused pack, that would be
more appropriate? I know that replacement battery packs are $$
expensive.

I suppose it would be dependent upon the type battery, NiMH, Li-Ion,
Ni-Cad but I wound up with a surplus of Li-Ion batteries for my Bosch
cordless tools. I charged them up and placed them in individual Zip-Loc
bags and stashed them in the garage refrigerator.

Time (and comments) from others here will tell me whether that was the
thing to dog

Mine is B&D 20V Lithium one. Came with 2 batteries. I use them
alternatively. I fully charge them before storing in winter. They
sell rebuild kit for this battery pack on eBay I noticed.

Swap em would be my first guess too. I really don't know. It is the
same thing with cell phones. I don't use my cellphone much for
talking, but you still have to keep it charged.

What do you do? Leave it off the charger for a few days or plug it in
with a 90% charge every day.

I don't think Lithium batteries have memory like NiCads.
I recharge cell phone when low battery warning beeps.

Same problem with laptops. I only use the laptop when I go out of town,
and I don't do that much.

I'm told Li laptop batteries run down even when taken out of the
battery.

Not only that, I'd like a new battery before I take a 3 month trip, but
if I buy it now, it will be old by the time I leave. If I wait until
just before I leave, they may not sell them anymore, or it will be old
anyhow because they made it last year.

And, you live in a trashy trailer park, and sit outside on the "veranda"

I got the PC version, though it really eats
up mouse, with the mouse cord going around at
several hundred RPM to get the weeds. I don't
have the bump feed drivers for my PC weed
whacker, yet.

YOU live in a ****ty trailer park next to Walmart and drink warm beer with
fried mudcat. I bet you've got more tattoos than teeth. And YOUR wife's
