Hi Mark,
All batteries, even the Li-Ions have a finite lifespan, primarily
governed by the number of times they are recharged. What I've not
been able to determine is whether a slow discharge from sitting on
the shelf counts as one charging cycle or impacts life cycle in some
other manner.
FWIW, I tend to just swap out my two batteries every 2-4 weeks,
mostly because it makes me feel good. :-)
Any battery engineers or web research analysts out there?
