How often should you drain the battery?

So do you literally run it until it turns off?

This is new to me. I always read that lithium doesn't have memory and it didn't matter when you charged and that it was bad to let them run all the way down

because they say drain it once a month to keep the battery % calibrated! nothing to do with battery conditioning or memory

so would letting it drain from 100% to 1% not be good enough?? that's what i tend to do once a fortnight........but do u actually have to let it drain till it's completely dead and turns off??

 

[this is funah]

You should drain it about once a week. For good battery tips, look here:

they need a copy editor... "commonsense" is not a single word, though good attempt in making it an adjective. heheh

but seriously, thanks for the link... i always thought people had no idea what they were talking about when it came to battery life and this seems to make half the rumors official.
