However I can't guarantee that the Ebay and the link are both accurate. &nbsp;However the dealer selling it should know how his product works ...<br />
<br />
Anyway that cyciing shouldn't hurt the product (battery). &nbsp;After that the recommended advice I've read (from Apple) is to keep the charge between 60 and 80% for the longest life in the battery. &nbsp;No need to go to 100% or to fully discharge the battery.<br />
<br />
There are lots of links on the Internet on how to care for your battery. &nbsp;And most of them disagree in some form or another.

These folks know a little about the technology.<br />

Although I stated 50%-60% for the &quot;happy&quot; zone they state 40% for storage. &nbsp;I would take their word.<br />

Hello, I just purchased this:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://r.ebay.com/k7Nbn1" rel="ugc">http://r.ebay.com/k7Nbn1</a><br />
<br />
It says it's Lithium Ion, and that I should use it completely, recharge it fully, and repeat this 3-5 times. &nbsp;I read elsewhere, though, that LI batteries don't need this. &nbsp;Your thoughts?

Hello, I just purchased this:

It says it's Lithium Ion, and that I should use it completely, recharge it fully, and repeat this 3-5 times.  I read elsewhere, though, that LI batteries don't need this.  Your thoughts?

Should I drain and recharge a Lithium Ion battery?

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

A cellular phone (also known as a mobile phone, cell phone, hand phone, or simply a phone) is a telephone that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. Mobile phones that offer services such as text messaging, email, Internet access, business applications, gaming, photography and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.

Cell Phones

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).
