So if I understand what you are saying is a lithium batt has a useful range between like 30 & 70% above or below that is detrimental to the life span of the battery. This would explain why my cordless power tool batteries have not lasted as long as my old fashioned nicad powered tools which lasted so much longer. Even though they are larger and heavier I think for cordless stuff I prefer nicad as long as you fully discharge on a regular basis they do not build a memory and last a long time. Thank you for all of the great info now that I am educated a little I should at least be able to maximize the life of my batteries.
