[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 985586"] NiCad and NiMH batteries needed that cycling periodically to avoid buildup of crystals in the battery that shortened the capacity (the so-called "memory" effect). However, LiIon and other Lithium based batteries don't like the deep cycles the NiCad needs. In fact, LiIon batteries like to be topped up! See this website for more information: [URL="http://batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm"]Battery University[/URL]. Note that the recalibration needs to be done every thirty cycles, not thirty days. And also note that even well-cared for Li batteries start to decay 2 years after manufacture. [/QUOTE]
