the '4 hour cycle' is a myth for modern batteries. in fact, it isn't good to wait until the battery is drained completely every time before charging, low battery levels are harmful for these types of battery. I rarely do a 'empty charge cycle' myself, just every month or so to condition the battery and calibrate the meter.
you don't have to worry, you can charge your battery as often as you like. it wouldn't spoil the battery. what's more damaging to batteries are heat, and the aforementioned empty drain.
agreed.. Lithium Ion batteries is different compare to the batteries in the old days. We don't even have to worry recharging from 80% to 100% again as it's not complete as 1 cycle (as you guys know).you don't have to worry, you can charge your battery as often as you like. it wouldn't spoil the battery. what's more damaging to batteries are heat, and the aforementioned empty drain.
But as in general fact.. do not leave your Lithium Ion battery until totally depleted..this will cause the battery to ruin.
