They do like you to give your Lithium battery a good healthy charge "like 12+ hours" to equalize all the cells before using... in case the battery has been in storage a very long time.
But Lithium in general has phenomenal shelf life with no memory... in other words, you can leave it near dead and it won't hurt it.
While its true if you drain a lithium battery to
dead dead it can reverse the voltage and kill the cells, that really can't happen as these cell
protect themselves and shut themselves down when a low critical voltage is reached.
In other words, when your battery acts dead.. its really not as it has protected itself.
They have made these batteries pretty idiot proof otherwise so many people couldn't get away with using them so successfully all over the world.
Some of these "techs" don't really have a clue as they went to a class and was either taught buy another clueless newbie or misunderstood the lecture.
Please check what I tell you or anybody else with at least 3 reputable sources. Talk to people that sell and deal in batteries everyday rather than some gal behind the counter thats trying to be an expert in everything while getting paid 8.00 an hour.
Just a suggestion!
