For the different batteries refer to manufacturers instructions on when to charge the batteries. The batteries I use at the moment say to not charge until a few hours before use. My Lipo's can puff if stored fully charged. My lipo charger has a storage profile for lipos. I have never used it and don't know how it works but it's there. My batteries also say that it is better to charge the batteries after a little bit of use then to discharge them fully (basically there is no need to discharge them at all other then in the car). I am fairly sure this applies to most lipos.
