My LiFePO4 charger has a charging program to stop at about 80% and I've been told that they like that if you're going to store them for awhile.  Don't know if that applies to Li Ion, there are a lot of lithium chemistries these days.

you are going to need full capacity.  Supposedly makes them last longer.

Anyone ever heard of this?

If true does this also apply to LiPO4 batteries?
