My understanding re battery care is that it depends on the technology
1. NICAD battteries need to be fully discharged frequently and if
possible always.
2. NIMH batteries were supposed to fix that problem but don't.  They
need to be fully discharged but not every time  ie fully discharge
them every couple of weeks

BUT

Lithium Ion batteries as used in [hones like the Nokia 6110 etc  DO
NOT LIKE TO BE FULLY DISCHARGED.  For maximum life with LhI batteries,
charge them frequently and avoid fully discharging them if possible.
I am not an expert on battery technology.  Perhaps someone who really
is could confirm this.
