You should try it out, you might be surprised. I'm not attacking you, but it's real information, tested by XDA and by several of our own PPCgeeks users. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=125622&page=2

This issue happens to me, and when I did some tests, I saw that my battery life was drastically increased. I had been getting garbage battery life, and now with light use I have 45% left after 15 hours, and usually after heavy use get about 8 hours.

I know you not trying to attack me, we are having a pretty decent conversation. Its just that my friends and I havent had any issues with battery life and believe me, we all love the hell out of our evos and we used them almost not stop. I have already read through that thread you linked to and again I am not disputing it does or doesn't happen, it just may not be as wide spread as some people are making out to be but who knows.

Considering how cheap batteries are, it seems like a pointless discussion. I just plug and unplug as needed, and my batteries generally last a good year or more. If everyone wants to save real money, consider driving habits and how you use your brakes. Those habits can cost or save real money.

No, these batteries (taking into consideration you are using the oem) are Lithium Ion, not NiCad/NiMh, so no memory effect.
