In which case, I'm not surprised that you knackered the battery. No rechargeable battery likes being completely drained, and with modern lithium-ion batteries it can kill them.
Yes. I was able to use it for a bit before it froze. I'm surprised it only took one instance of being completely drained for this to happen.

Although I did notice there were instances when I closed my third-party sleepcover and I can see light seeping from the PW3 so it meant that it didn't go to sleep like it should.
