There is no battery memory effect with a lithium battery - you can charge the battery whenever you like without fear of reducing its charge capacity, and you do not need to drain a lithium battery completely before recharging it.

MPS-60 Portable Speaker Review(Credit to sE_vIxEn)
------------------------------------------------
QUOTE
sound quality:yeap, it rocks to the max. quite astounding to get such loud volume from a small portable speaker. and the sound is crystal clear. however, it depends on the bit rate of the song as well.
bass elements:the difference between the EQ's really show when you change them. but sadly, when i put it to megabass it is quite disappointing. hissing will occur as the megabass is too strong for the speakers. sad.gif good news is the normal bass is good enough for normal music lovers like me. for those hardcore people i suggest plugging your phone to a real audio system. wink.gif
battery consumption:half an hour of songs robbed my phone of 10% ~ 15% battery. approx figure only. wink.gif not bad right?! slightly more consuming than using the earbuds.
design of the gadget:matches the W800i perfectly.
the size:same as what it is deemed. portable. thumbup.gif
price:RM148 at EricServ. SE Tech Center in KLCC selling RM199. go figure. wink.gif i got mine for RM150 and additional MXE-60~ tongue.gif
