I have several pieces of equipment containing nicad batteries (electronic
flash, etc) that I do not use for long periods at a time ( > 1 year).
What is the best way to store this equipment?  With the cells discharged?
Or with them fully charged, and digging the equipment out of the closet
every once in a while to top off the charge?  (I've heard both answers
from different sources; does anyone really know which is correct?)
