From what I've read in these forums and most other places, all lithium batteries do not need to be conditioned/calibrated. I'm assuming this applies to cell phones too? Here's one that I thought was just ridiculous:





  1. Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more
  2. Unplug the charger
  3. Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour
  4. Unplug the charger
  5. Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes
  6. Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour
  7. Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better
People are reporting great results too.



Now from what I gather, these batteries are controlled by microprocessors, once it reaches full, it stops charging. So it doesn't matter how long you leave it on the charger after 100%. Am I right?
