I had v1, but the good practise is connect it after run. This help you to discharge and prevent memory efford on NiMH cells. I do that frequently and notice there is some kick improvement.
Just becareful for batt sitting very long time. I had lose 3 packs due to this. People advice to cycle charge & discharge time after time. I hate to do this hence change to LiPo.
