You are used to dealing with NiCad batteries that should be FULLY discharged and recharged. Our phones use LiPoly batteries. Not only is it not necessary to completely discharge them, but you will actually damage the battery by doing so. LiPoly batteries must be kept at a VERY specific voltage range. Over or under charged, will damage it. Your phone knows when to stop the charge AND when to stop the drain.
