I have the HX260S and wonder if I'm hurting my battery life.  I listen to the weather before I leave the house.  While I'm paddling, I leave it turned off, but after a couple hours, or if the weather looks like it's changing, I check the weather again.  Consequently, I only use it about 10 minutes for each outing.  At that rate, I can go many weeks without draining and recharging.

Am I okay, or would it be better to leave it on overnight to drain, and then recharge the next day?  How many days/weeks should I let it go before purposely draining and recharging?
