[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 495352, member: 12692"] Deepseeker, the 'memory effect' mainly relates to the old NiCad batteries. they were terrible for it, & had to be fully cycled to minimise it. Lithium batteries are generally happy with any state of charge, although I've read its recommended that they should be stored fully charged, & put on the charger at nominal intervals (2-3months or so) to maintain them. I believe you should never drain any battery dead flat, but Lithium batteries are apparently affected less than other types. What I have read is that most Lithium batteries with built-in charge controllers don't allow the battery to ever go truly dead flat anyway. [/QUOTE]
