    Batteries and cold weather (brrrr)

    I'm wondering how useful it is to have this battery meter as mine seems to go all over the place and it can be confusing as sometimes you think you've got less power available than you really have. If it could show green for the first 50%, yellow for the next 30% and then red for the final...

    Leaving the battery connected to the charger
