With lithium ion batteries, they will not overcharge. When the charge is done, the charge circuit turns off. It's not necessary to totally discharge these batteries, actually they prefer to be recharged at around 40 percent or so. The one time you may want to do this is to reset the battery gauge, but you should only need to do that once every few months. On May 22, 2011, at 11:32 AM, carolyn Haas wrote:
