Does anyone know if it's ok/safe to keep this battery (or even the lead battery) charging 24/7 when not in use? http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …ery_and.html/pr​m/alsVwDtl (external link)

I've heard that too.....but was talking purely from a standpoint of whether it'll harm the battery or shorten it's lifespan.

exploding will certainly shorten it's lifespan.

potentially your lifespan too.
