2. If I do a full charge, and then the battery sits around for 3 or 4 days, should I recharge it before I use it again? (yeah, yeah, I know, what is it doing sitting around for 3 days? I got a flat on the rear tire and it's taking me few days to fix it....

Thanks!
I don't know where everyone is coming up with this 6 or 8 hour charging time. My battery never takes more than about 3 1/2 hours to fully charge. And maybe the newer Currie chargers are different than mine. None of this red light-green light stuff. When mine is charging, the light blinks. When it stops blinking, it's charged. If I let my battery sit a couple of days, it stays fully charged. I know this because I've plugged the charger back in out of curiosity and it doesn't blink. If it had drained even a slight amount, that light would be blinking until the charger topped it off.
