I agree. But I was not debating that. All I was saying was that you can't really fully discharge the battery. These batteries do not hold a memory like NiCad batteries do. So the discharge and recharge is not really necessary. BUT you still need to do this at lease once every 30 or so charge like you said or once every two months to three months to exersice it.

There is a max charge and min charge with these batteries, so doing one or two full discharge/charge cycles will ensure that you are charging and calibrating it to the full capacity.
