Thx James,

I guess that means put the battery in a _really_ cool (AND dry) place,
right?

It's quite obvious for the dry, but really cool? appreciate if you (or
anyone) can help me with more explation or URL.

And about that once-a-month charge-discharge, is it fine to remove and
reinstall the battery once a month?
