I use rechargeable batteries in my 2 cameras, can someone who knows about these things answer a couple of questions for me.
1. Is it ok to leave batteries charging in the charger until I want to use them.
2. When you charge the batteries up how long to they stay charged up, or do they run down when not being used....
Any Info one chargeable batteries would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Usually chargers stop charging once the batteries are fully charged so its perfectly safe to leave them in the charger.
Batteries do tend to loose charge when not in use but it is very slo, especially in lithium ion batteries.

1. its perfectly fine! it will stop automatically, it wont explode.. haha
2. how long they stay after charing depends on the battery life, and usually, they will save most of their electricity when unused..
