Hi Sue, Yes, you should definitely give it a full charge before any known long absence from using the braillenote. The battery will drain even if the unit is left off. Make sure you remove any compactflash cards, because the insertion of these devices make the battery drain a bit faster. Also, be aware that if the battery goes completely flat, you probably will lose all files stored on the flash disk. so, make sure you make backups of some sort if there is a possibility that your battery will go completely flat.
A better alternative would be to try and find some outlet where you could leave the unit plugged in, if you do not plan on using it.
