[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1240902"] schweb's reference is pretty good. Basically, the only reason to deep-discharge a Li-ion battery is to reset the battery calibration, not for the chemistry in the battery. Deep discharges are harder on Li-ion batteries and are not recommended for typical usage. They prefer to be kept topped up. Nevertheless, all Li-ion batteries start to slowly degrade two years after manufacture, regardless of duty cycle. The decline is, however, very slow. [/QUOTE]
