I'd looked at that battery but figured I'd get the 27 size at Costco both so that it'll be easy to return if it sucks (or when I eff something up) and to avoid weirdness in shipping something like that. It's only $20 more. Any tips on how to most effectively charge it periodically when it's going to be sitting for a while to keep it good? I saw a lot of differing opinions in various reviews.
