According to the Ericsson T-18s User's Guide Page 7

(quote)
When to Charge the Battery
The nickel metal hydride battery that comes with your phone can be charged
whenever you wish without affecting its performance. This is not the case
with the cheaper nickel cadmium type batteries.
(unquote)

Could sombody please clarify the above? I personally don't agree with the
ericsson manual, and tend to always fully discharge the battery before I
recharge. I carry a spare to ensure that I don't miss any calls due to a
dead battery.
