    Li-ion batteries do not store a memory, so there's no need to fully charge/discharge them every time
    True - in fact discharging them constantly puts stress on them and will degrade the battery faster

    Li-ion batteries cannot be overcharged while charging in a cell phone because the cell phone automatically shuts down the charging when the voltage reaches the limits of the battery.
    True - all cell phones have safety mechanisms built in to not overcharge a battery.
