[TouchPad General] smithylovestouchpad:
As you pointed out the TouchPad battery is Lithium Polymer, part of a specific class of batteries and thus rules and guidelines for that class apply to all Lithium Polymer batteries, that's a fact no matter what you say. Just because a Lithium Polymer sits in a TouchPad does not make it different from other Lithium Polymer batteries.

The size of your six sided box must be huge to hold that big head of yours.

See what did I tell you. You found a way to make the blue sky black. Must be awfully dark inside that box of yours.

Actually, voltage is more important when it comes to Lithium Polymer batteries, it's a safety thing.

Here, learn something. Pay particular attention to the section on storage:

If you don't agree with them, you should email them and tell they how useless and full of crap you think they are.

Here, maybe this will help:

Lithium polymer battery life is related to the number of charging cycles completed, and is not directly related to the number of charging times. A simple way to think about it, that a lithium polymer battery uses half of its power on the first day, and then fully charged. If it is still the next day, you can charge it in half, and it will be charged twice in total. This can only be counted as one charging cycle. Therefore,it usually takes several charges to complete a cycle.With each completion of a charging cycle, the amount of charge decreases a bit. But the reduction is so small that high-quality batteries retain 80% of their original charge after multiple cycles. That's why a lot of lithium polymer products are still in use after two or three years. Of course, lithium polymer battery life will eventually need to be replaced.

The life of lithium polymer battery is generally 300 to 500 charge cycles. Assuming that the quantity of electricity provided by a complete discharge is Q. If the reduction of the quantity of electricity after each charging cycle is not taken into account, the lithium polymer battery can provide or supplement 300Q to 500Q of electricity in its lifetime. So we know that if you charge 1/2 every time, you can charge 600 to 1000 times; If you charge with 1/3 each time, you can charge 900 to 1500 times. And so on, if you charge it at random, the number of times is variable. In short, no matter how charged, a total of 300Q to the 500Q power supply is constant.

Therefore, we can also understand that the life of the lithium polymer battery is related to the total charge of the battery, regardless of the number of times of charging. The effect of deep charge and shallow charge on lithium polymer battery life is not much different.

In fact, shallow discharge and shallow charge are more beneficial to the lithium polymer battery. Only when the power module of the product is calibrated for lithium polymer battery, it is necessary to deep discharge and deep charge. Therefore, products that use lithium-ion power supply do not have to be constrained by the process. Everything is convenient and can be charged at any time without worrying about affecting life.
