Paul: I believe that all batteries develop some memory, although LI types do the least. Because the type activity is such that it is on the BN, batteries don't really have a chance to develop memory, like you probably have witnessed with Nicads. Don't worry about charging the BN, it won't allow you to overcharge it.
