Re: How to prepair a virgin battery?
I disagree that draining a lithium ion battery diminishes its life.
Every phone I've ever had, the first thing I do when I get the phone is turn it on and completely drain the slight charge in the battery, then I do a full charge for 12 hours, and do a full discharge/charge cycle for 3 days.
Surprise surprise, I'm always the one who gets excellent battery life while everyone complains...
I've had the same Mogul battery for almost a year now... I get about 2 days of moderate use out of my phone while most of my friends running the same ROM and general programs as me get about half a day to a day... They never fully charge/discharge their batteries.
Technically, its supposed to be bad for them... but I've found just the opposite to be true in reality.
