    does anyone know if the battery included with the motorola v60i has a
    memory characteristic. Should it be let to drain completely before
    recharging. tia

    It's Li-ion no no, it will not have a memory effect. Always good to let it
    run out sometime though

    Ya it can never hurt to let the battery drain completely then charge up
    fully, repeat

    If you read the manual it says the first three or four times you charge it
    you should let it completely die before recharging. I did this with mine
    and have been very happy with the battery ever since. The first three
    charges I literally ran it until it stopped beeping the low battery warning
    and died.

    But it should be conditioned when new.

    I'm not so sure, Steven. I don't drain mine completely before recharging and
    it's still working just fine.

    From GE Tech Notes ....

    "Among the many users of batteries in both the industrial and consumer
    sectors, the idea of a memory phenomenon in nickel-cadmium batteries has been
    widely misused and understood. The term 'memory' has become a catch-all
    'buzzword' that is used to describe a raft of application problems, being most
    often confused with simple voltage depression.

    "To the well informed, however, 'memory' is a term applied to a specific
    phenomenon encountered very infrequently in field applications. Specifically,
    the term 'memory' came from an aerospace nickel-cadmium application in which the
    cells were repeatedly discharged to 25% of available capacity (plus or minus 1%)
    by exacting computer control, then recharged to 100% capacity WITHOUT OVERCHARGE
    [emphasis in the original]. This long term, repetitive cycle regime, with no
    provisions for overcharge, resulted in a loss of capacity beyond the 25%
    discharge point. Hence the birth of a "memory" phenomenon, whereby
    nickel-cadmium batteries purportedly lose capacity if repeatedly discharged to a
    specific level of capacity.

    "The 'memory' phenomenon observed in this original aerospace application was
    eliminated by simply reprogramming the computer to allow for overcharging. [Note
    that no mention is made of adding an intentional *discharge* to clear the
    problem - RLM] In fact, 'memory' is always a completely reversible condition;
    even in those rare cases where 'memory' cannot be avoided, it can easily be
    erased. Unfortunately, the idea of memory-related loss of capacity has been with
    us since. Realistically, however, ' memory' cannot exist if any one of the
    following conditions holds:

    1. Batteries achieve full overcharge.
    2. Discharge is not exactly the same each cycle - plus or minus 2-3%
    3. Discharge is to less than 1.0 volt per cell.

    "Remember, the existence of any ONE of these conditions eliminates the
    possibility of 'memory'. GE has not verified true 'memory' in any field
    application with the single exception of the satellite application noted above.
    Lack of empirical evidence notwithstanding, 'memory' is still blamed regularly
    for poor battery performance that is caused by a number of simple, correctable
    application problems."

    End of quote ... Basically memory (loss of capacity) due to discharge is a myth.
