Agreed, they don't have memory like NiCads did. But, what they do have is a finite number of charge/discharge cycles. They also can be damaged by over-heating.
In geneeral, you're better off trying to keep your phone between 20 percent and 80 to 85 percent charged. If you keep your charger plugged in, you risk damaging your battery, particularly if it is in a case that lets even more heat build up on the phone. I am aware that there is a charging circuit built in that will cut off the charge, but it doesn't at all mean that there is no degradation of battery performance. http://gizmodo.com/how-to-take-care-of-your-smartphone-battery-the-right-w-513217256 Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Batteries in these devices do not have such a memory. They are some kind of lithium batteries that do not suffer from this so called memory. > On 11 Dec 2014, at 21:52, Shawn Krasniuk <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi guys.
