It appears that the batteries that came w/ the Freerunner are Lithium. These are much better at not developing a memory than the Nickle based batteries.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but you probably don't have to worry about charging while developing. . . .shawn C R McClenaghan wrote: > I would like some information about recommendations on how to use and > maintain the Freerunner's battery. > > I did not find anything explicit on the wiki.
