Yes - I'd heard that...and to finish the story, Lead/Acid batteries (such as
car and motorcycle batteries) should NEVER be run completely flat as it's
very bad for them...completely the opposite of NiCads which should always
be run flat.
Dunno about the new Li-Ion's and other esoteric types though. I think the one
in my cell-phone says that you don't need to run it flat - but I don't recollect
any warnings about not running them down completely.
