iPod nano battery question

[hikeNM]

Is it still good to let a new battery run down and then charge it completely with a wall charger?

I have heard that good with all batterys... But I would hear what others say as well.

New batteries shouldn't be drained completely (it don't hurt much tho), but be charged when they are on approx 20%. Charging often even with more than half cap left won't hurt, but completely drain the battery approx once a a month to get full capacity.

Good stuff to know.. So when the battery is getting old then is it a good idea to drain it every time? Or is that just rumor that it should be?

Thanks
