-//Battery murder// (or //Batterycide//) is the murder of batteries by newbs (new users), poor quality chargers, etc.  The term is commonly used by SternWake:  //"my goal here is to prevent batterycide."//((http://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/Thread-Intro-Solar-Questions?pid=192042#pid192042))+//Battery murder// (or //Batterycide//) is the murder of batteries by abuse, misuse, inappropriate charging, etc.  The term is commonly used by SternWake:  //"my goal here is to prevent batterycide."//((http://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/Thread-Intro-Solar-Questions?pid=192042#pid192042))
