How long can you safely leave the battery in? A few Hours?

1. They lie

I leave mine in all the time.

If you are not going to be using your camera for a while (weeks/months), remove the battery.

3. More like a few days depending on how much charge was in it the last time you used it

The problem is that leaving the battery in might discharge that battery to the point where it wont take a charge anymore, I've had that happen once and it was a fairly new battery with less than 10 cycles on it.
