It was always my understanding that LiIon of all sorts do work best when "topped off", as mentioned vs. repeated full discharges. Even laptop batteries last longer and retain more capacity (I think?) when used in this fashion.
Question about LiPoly batteries. Are they like their laptop counter parts in that when stored for extended periods it's best to leave them discharged to around 40%-ish? I ask because if a person has two batteries or more for theit NIT it would help to know what sort of rotation cycle will get the best useful lifespan (not runtime) from the batteries.

Eg "Batteries with fuel gauge should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely."
