Storing the unit with the battery in a state of discharge for long periods of time can shorten the life of the battery, or possibly destroy it. We recommend that the battery be kept charged at all times. The battery cannot be overcharged, so it is fine to leave the instrument plugged in, or to leave the battery plugged into an external charger when not in use.
