There really isn't any memory in them. There is value to slow charging, but even more important is temperature and avoiding keeping them near full charge for an extended period of time.
- polshaw 14y ago>There is value to slow charging Only to a point. The provided charger tends to be well within this limit (no benefit to using USB).
- cbsmith 14y agoAgreed. The real trick is to not keep the charge up at full.
- bri3d 14y agoThere isn't any "memory" in a lithium polymer battery's chemistry like was found in NiCd and early NiMh batteries, but on some devices, a full charge/discharge cycle functions to program a true digital memory in the battery management controller about the actual properties of the battery.
