Impossible, I would have to move out of the house to move all of my garage and workshop in. What might rust, I spray with WD40. All of my batteries get a full recharge once a month or once every two months.
My Makita drop in charger comes on for an hour per day, via a time-switch, which charges other similar things - I just swap the battery pack when I remember, 1 or 3. After eight years the battery packs on my Makita drill began to fail, so I bought a cheap set of Li-on C cells as a trial to replace them from China. I replaced them in August and they have been fine. I will do a re-cell of the other two packs when the weather warms up a bit. The charger is designed for either Ni-Cad or Li-on.
