As for your quote "Fully charge and discharge battery. Repeat when readings get inaccurate", that only applies to battery with charge indicators, that is, batteries with buttons on them that you can press which usually light up 3 or 5 LEDs to give a very general idea of how charged the battery is. I made sure to cover this in my original post. Our phone batteries do not do this. The purpose of the full discharge in this statement serves only to "reset" the fuel gauge. It does no good in our phones, and as the article addresses, full discharges are not recommended for Li-Ion batteries.

As for the rest you quoted, I do dispute it, and it was a direct copy (or nearly so) from the linked article. I'm not sure why you quoted it.

Putting your entire post in bold and slamming my thread, and linking to your own version in larger print is just childish. That's akin to shouting; can you not discuss things without shouting?

Agreed. What's wrong with you hypnotic? There is nothing wrong with his post and his intentions are very clear.

Your bold text and condescending demeanor is completely inappropriate.
