nothing you do is going to destroy the batteries. basically
what everyone said is correct, but if you want to maximize the battery life and qualty, drain them to 40% and stick em in the fridge.
if you don't stick them in the fridge I don't think there will be a devastating effect.
if you don't drain them to 40%, I don't think there will be a devastating effect.
if you store them at 100% OR 0%, there might be a significant effect but I doubt it would be catastrophic or even noticeable.
If you leave the batteries in the Axim without connecting it to a power source, the batteries will go from 100% to 0% in probably one month.
If you remove the backup battery while leaving the main battery in, you won't lose your data until the main battery dies.
Whatever you do, take the backup batteries out.
If you do not leave the axim connected to a power source, all of the data will be gone because the main battery will die in about one month.
If you can't leave the batteries in a refrigerator, I would still drain them to 40%.
Litium-ion batteries die completely in 2-3 years, regardless of usage or storage conditions.
..and not to be incredibly nitpicky but Jefefef, you mispelled layman....
