People don't need to "discharge" their batteries anymore. You had to do this in the past because of nickel-cadium batteries. They retained a "memory" after every charge cycle and would lose the power unless they were fully discharged and lost the memory.

Today we use lithium-ion power cells and they benefit the end user by frequently being "topped-off".

I've heard this argument over and over...but remember before you upgrade it is general practice to fully charge the battery before doing so. Also try taking out the battery for a few moments and if that doesn't work, hard reset the device.

Hope this helps somebody out!!!
