Is discharging absolutely neccesary for a NiCAD battery?

"Absolutely? No. Good idea? Yes."

Will not discharging my battery damage it and/or cause it to lose power faster?

"It may. Since batteries can cost over $60, do you really want to take the risk?"

Is leaving the battery in the gun not good for the battery?

"Like removing the magazine from a real gun, remove the power source after use."

Should I be discharging my NiCAD battery after each use (how long can a battery safely remain charged)?

"Charge before a game, go play, discharge when you get home."

And any other info would be much appreciated. Sorry if these questions have been answered, I just have had trouble finding good answers to these questions.

"Did you read the FAQ section?"
