Yes, you definitely have a point there. I just meant that it's not a condition that should be encountered during normal use. If it sits unused long enough that the batteries do drain, it just means that you won't get an LED after connecting the charger until you flip the power switch to boot it back up. IMO, not really a big deal. If that's the biggest problem we have to deal with, I'd be pretty happy.

BTW I have empty batteries once every month. I don't put book down in the interesting place unless something will make me.

It's actually not good for the batteries to let them drain completely before recharging. Your batteries will last a lot longer if you can keep them topped up as much as possible, rather than let them go through a full charge/discharge cycle every time.
