Hi Everyone!  I know that you are supposed to get 2 hours of run time on a charge, but does the battery deplete itself while it is sitting? I admit there are days in between when I don't get to play with my pink RB because I have just been very busy lately.  I know that NiMH batteries will deplete just sitting, but I didn't know about LiPoly batteries.  It also only takes about 2 hours for my battery to recharge when it is completely depleted and I get 3 beeps.  Is this correct?  Thanks!   (Sorry...I was hungry and I'm on a diet!)

I believe the li-poly batteries do discharge whilst just sitting unused, but not to the same degree that the old green NiMH ones did, or as fast.  It wasn't good for the old green batteries to keep charging them when not fully discharged, but the li-poly ones are different so I charge mine when it suits me and I'm not running Belle, rather than waiting for them to run out fully first.
