No, modern lithium ion batteries have no need for that and even if you do it, it will make no difference to the battery. In fact you can use it straight out of the box.

Thanks for the reply guys. biggrin.gif
i see. so i just need to fully discharge it until left 1% and fully recharge again? This practice can ensure good battery life right?

For LiIons, don't let it fall below 5%, best to start recharging at 15%

In most cases, you should avoid full discharge cycles. Unlike NiCad batteries, lithium-ion batteries do not have a charge memory.

They have a limited number of charge cycles and letting it drop to 1% and then fully recharging would shave off one full cycle so if you purposely do it often, in the long run it could shorten the life a bit instead of just recharging it whenever the battery just kinda gets low in power.

Thanks again for the kind feedback! notworthy.gif
