Everything I have ever read about lithium batteries suggests that this is complete poppy**** and that only nickel cadmium batteries suffer from significant "memory effect" (and nickel metal hydride ones only a little bit). However, I'm a doctor, dammit Jim! Not some pointy-eared electrical engineer!

I'll see if I can come up with another battery to see if it behaves any differently.
