"1. Multiple Charges - It could only help... i do notice that when i do a "partial" charge it seems to make the battery last longer then on a full charge. I dunno, sounds like the whole thing where you're actually hungrier at lunch time if you had eaten a big breakfast than if you didnt eat anything at all..heh. Regardless, it seems the more you throw it on the charger the happier it is than if you just do a drain and recharge every day/night. Sounds obvious..i know."
As I understand the tech: Li-ion batteries will benefit from an initial "training period" of a couple cycles of full charge to complete drain, as well as an occasional repeat of this "conditioning" (every month or two). This helps the battery retain it's limits, max and min. They DO have a "memory", I have tested this.
The tough part about being as an#l as I am about treating a battery right is that when not stretching the limits of the battery, the Li-ion battery will have a better long term capacity if kept between 20% and 80% of it's full charge.
I think most people are fine with the occasional conditioning of the battery for maintenance.
I highly recommend the Seidio 1750mAh replacement battery, but treat it right or you'll have gremlins taking more than just your socks.
