>> ... To get the best life out of a battery you need to wait until it is flat before charging, and remove it from the power supply as soon as it is charged. "Topping up" the charge, or leaving it on charge when it is already charged will both reduce its life expectency ...
This is poor advice and NOT what anyone will find when researching consumer-grade Li-Ion battery packs.
So I guess I will cite my sources in this thread ...
SOURCES: "Batteries in a Portable World" book from Cadex Corporation, many chapters of which are available on their Web site at cadex.com; personal experience and training while working in the commercial and amateur radio equipment industries.
