The battery is lithium-ion and it is my understanding it is best not run it down just keep it charged. Lithium-ion does not develop memory like older batteries.[/quote]
Please run this issue to ground guys. Sounds like some disagreement here and the "correct" answer is pretty important for the user of the product to know, as the two procedures recommended here are pretty much opposite each other.

Thanks to all who engage in the discussion.
