It showed me the best charging cycle for my 650 was to power off during reading sessions, rather than put it in standby. The charge lasts longer and I dont have to charge it as much (50% less than standyby mode, once a month rather than once a fortnight)

Thanks for the information Max.
I have only recently purchased my 650 so as long as I don't let it discharge completely I'm sure the battery will last more than long enough.
I only had my 600 for about a year before upgrading so no doubt I will have upgraded the 650 well before the battery expires.
