Re: Battery Lifetime

It use to be said that a computer battery needs to be cycled ever so often to keep the battery memory at full capacity. When I got my first phone, t used that as my guide. With today's new batteries, I don't know if that is true anymore. I've read pros and cons on it. Any suggestions from the group would be helpful :-)
