Just like when you turn your mobile network off, you will inevitably save some battery life,

these Lithium Ion batteries like partial charges much better than full charges. You only get 300-500 full discharge/recharges. So use them wisely. I keep my phone at 80%+ most of the time.

It's a charger baby. Once per month, I let it drain to 10% and go back up. This keeps the calibration on, as the battery wears.

The batt will last way longer, according to Battery University, if you RARELY let the battery get below 20%.

Which will happen fast (for me) if I don't keep it on the charger!
