Battery Charging?
I've read in a couple different posts about people charging their cars two or three times between uses. Does this help performance? If so, does it make the car faster...or does it make it run for a longer period of time? Also, does it cause any damage to the battery?

well a battery gives off peak voltage when fully charged and gradually drops as it drains so yes you get a slight perfomance increase and the battery lasts longer between charges. as far as i can tell its not ruining the batteries. if it does they are cheap.

once a battery is full it starts to get hot which could damage the battery. 2 charges gives 5mins of peak performance easily. if i triple charge i get bored before the battery dies.

Just got my microsizer today and had a quick question about charging it.
When I but in on the remote to charge should I be lightly pushing down on it while it charges? The reason I ask is because it seems that if I just snap it on the charger, the charger LED lights up, but is a bit faint. If I apply a bit of pressure or wiggle it around, the charger LED sometimes lights up very prominently. I seem to not be able to get more than 2-3 minutes out of a charge, even if I try to charge it, remove it and then immediately charge it agian.
If anyone has any advice, I'd appreicate it. Oh yea, by the way, the car is completely stock at the moment.
