as far as all information i have read on all lithium ion batteries, they do not keep a memory based on how they were last charged, but they do have a memory on there initial charge, as i stated earlier. the old nik cad batteries had a refreshed memory everytime it hit a charger. With the new ones, the initial charge is all that matters. Yes 2-3 hours is usually all it takes to fully charge a new battery, but leaving it on overnight makes the user less likely to play with it while it is charging initially and taking the change of it being removed from charger
