Standard advice for rechargeable batteries is to use them, you get your money's worth that way. If you don't make use of them, it's a waste. Likewise for artificially using them. Some products actually do get designed to give you good usage of their batteries (the device doesn't over-flatten, the charger doesn't over charge, etc.). -- (This PC runs FC4, my others FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
