Is no longer than a few days safe to say that it does no harm?
Also dont forget how the batteries are being used.
For RC racing, we want the lowest internal resistance possible. Gives more power during a race. We have chargers that track the IR so you can monitor the health of the battery. I note how much capacity and IR my batteries have when new and every few months. Its important.
For air soft or non racing hobbies you just want power in the batteries and most applications dont use that much amps. It doesn't matter nearly as much that storing at 100% capacity harms IR and all the other things discussed. It still happens though its less noticeable.
