Hi antrad , the instructions I got with my previous battery which was a polymer , said they should be discharged once a month and kept fully charged when not in use . There were times when I just didn't ride it for a couple of months so it did sit in the garage during that time . I always unplug the battery when its not in use , and keep a full charge up even if I just go a short distance . It always makes me feel good when it goes for a long ride and gets a good charge afterwards .
