oh.... <grin> I dunno!! If I leave it out, my daughter is sure to put it in the charger! I think tho, unlike some rechargables, it is better to keep putting it back in than letting it sit out. Just because my batteries last longer by doing that, than my son's friend's do. And I don't think he puts his in very often. I can ask him if he knows.
