Li-Ion batteries prefer to be topped up rather than completely discharged.
Of course, they don't like being overcharged either, but that's not easily
achieved given the thought that goes into designing the built-in chargers in
today's equipment suited to these batteries.
The rule of thumb with these batteries is that you don't let them run flat.
If you've used it for a little bit, completely charge it anyway. Should your
capacity reach 50%, charge it. The idea is, Li-Ion batteries last for 300
complete charge/discharge cycles. By topping it up, you can "cheat" the
battery of its own death.

Subject: MD: Battery Question
I've a Sharp 722 with a Lithium Ion battery. After using the battery, I
plug it in to charge. Is this a good idea? I remember my dad having to use
a battery conditioner to drain all the power from his old Motorola cell
phone battery, but it was NiMH and fairly old. Does recharging after a few
hours use cause battery memory? advTHANXance
