So?  Are you just going to stop there?  :-)  Seriously, what should I be
concerned about in using/charging my camcorder batteries?  Should I use
a battery until it will no longer run the 'corder and then charge it, or
can I just throw it on the charger after each use?  Should I remove the
battery from the charger as soon as there's an indication of full
charge, or can I leave it there until I need it to run the 'corder?

Thanks,
Pete
