Yes I have, and until now it has not been an issue. The pill is a "bicarbonate" base, as far as I understand. Kept mine in my hold, which is really nasty moist, and mildew prone, like most boats. The pill finally disintegrated last season. The recharge with pill cost me $40.00 bucks at West Marine, which means you can probably find it a little cheaper.
If I were concerned about accidental inflation, and the rain/wind/seas were that bad, I'ld just put a regular life jacket on. My concern is like seat belts, they do not work unless you wear them. Especially on those bluebird days and nights.
