I've seen a lot of debate about this, but the most even-handed sounding things I've read on the subject state that in practical everyday use LiOn batteries really get nothing extra good from being totally discharged. They have basically no "memory effect" and unless they're treated very poorly somehow, perform steadily for people under most conditions and can't be "tricked" into doing anything miraculous.

I personally think that the people saying it's the TP's meter that gets less sensitive and more realistic, and not altogether the battery itself after the "break-in" period, are closer to the truth.
