Is there any problem with leaving the Ryobi 18v batteries in
the charger for days/weeks/months after the green light
comes on? In the past I have removed them soon after the
green light comes on, indicating fully charged; it later
appears that after days or weeks much of the charge has been
lost.

Enlightenment appreciated.


NiCd batteries have an inherent self-discharge rate,something like 5% per
day.
Some chargers may slowly discharge a pack if left in.
I suspect the cheaper brands may be that way.

Perhaps the Ryobi website has a FAQ?
