I do check the voltages more often, just to make sure. Batteries not on a machine discharge VERY slowly

I've taken the batteries off my Segway and stored them inside the home for the winter. The i2 is living in the garage but I didn't want to leave the batteries out there. Sounds like - if I plug it in once in the middle of the winter, that should be plenty.

This'll be my plan for the not-winter seasons, when the i2 stays intact in the garage. I'll leave it on a timer. I have a spare timer I used to use for my pool pump; if I remember that has a 7-day clock on it so I might just be able to do what you suggest.
Looks like it'll be mid-60s temperature on Thursday this week so I may just get out on my first "official" glide. We'll see!
