well its a lithium battery so no thats not a good idea. with lithium batteries you have to drain the battery completely before charging it completely again. once it is charged completely unplug it and repeat the process. the battery actually gets better as you do this and the lifespan of it will increase overtime

never thought about this, but does it have any effect on the battery life if u use a different charger? I am using the charger i had for my T-Mobile MDA, not the one that came with my mogul. is that bad?

WTF?

Where do you come up with this #(%&?

Ni-Cd, or Nickel Cadmium batteries, are prone to the 'memory effect', not Ni-Mh (Nickel Metal Hydride) or lithium ion/lithium polymer....

Completely discharging and charging your phone is not necessary, and will actually decrease battery life expectancy, as batteries have a limited number of recharge cycles then they lose capacity , and will eventually stop working.
