More or less everything does, because if you don't you get users reasonably asking "why does my battery only charge to 85%? Is it faulty?" and "why does it go off when the battery still has 15% left?". (In both cases the answer is "to avoid whiskering", plus, for discharging, "to make sure the battery circuit still has enough power for a long time", because recharging when the battery circuit has no power is *really* slow).
