Why put in
fuel when ya can't put in more fuel?

Two reasons:

1) The OP said the owner's manual said to. Don't you think the manufacturer
knows their product? I suppose they could be "in bed with" the electric
utilities, lol.

2) Unlike the fuel in your car, a battery, particularly a Ni-Cad, will
discharge while just sitting there. Ni-cad's actually have a pretty
pathetic shelf life. The battery will thus quickly discharge while in
storage, and this is bad for ni-cads.
