Well then I guess you knew better than me all along -- makes me wonder why you bothered asking. sheesh!
Really, I had no idea you had a lab there and could monitor the charge level from a rate somewhere between a conventional slow charge and a rapid charge and that you could effectively slow charge it the last 10-15% of its charge cycle! Why didn't you say so? :roll:
You see, most of us simply have to rely on our Pocket PCs taking care of that for us.
Oh, by the way, you must have missed the quote from your own link that said "Lithium-ion batteries do not develop the "memory effect". " That basically means that you don't have to discharge the battery all the way. You can charge them a little or a lot.
However, you have to also take into account that maybe the people here are at least a little experienced with Pocket PCs and know how they behave over the long term - you don't have to believe me when I say that topping off your battery more frequently leads to more battery life. Yeah, maybe I made that up, or maybe I've learned the hard way over the past 4 years in the industry. You decide...
