What are the optimimum recharge cycles for Lithium Ion type batteries?
I've read that Lithium Ion Batteries should not be fully discharged between recharge cycles. So what is the best recharge cycle to get the most life from lithium ion batteries? Should they be recharged as often as possible, or should they be drained considerably before being recharged?
This includes all sorts of lithium ion batteries in today's consumer electronics: laptops, cell phones, mp3 players etc. Note: this discussion has nothing to do with memory effects.
Whenever they get so low that they are ineffective you should charge them. If you run them down to the point of completely draining them you will kill them, so don't try to push them too far.
