ive heard that too. ive been always charging my battery when it gets to about 5% and then do a full charge back to 100. since i dont use the battery much i generally leave it out but its been at around 100 (although i realize it slowly discharges). i'll start doing it around 40% though from now on. any idea why that seems to be "the magic number?"
