[Elecraft] OT sort of. Charging Lithium Ion batteries

[Fred Jensen]

My LiFePO4 charger has a charging program to stop at about 80% and I've 
been told that they like that if you're going to store them for awhile.  
Don't know if that applies to Li Ion, there are a lot of lithium 
chemistries these days.
