    “Fully empty your battery before charging it up again, it increases the lifespan of the battery.”

    This was true before lithium-ion batteries became the norm. But for lithium-ion batteries, the opposite holds.

      Remembering which of my devices are old method charging and which are new method is a pain.

      I have several camping lamps from like 20 years ago that I almost threw out because they weren’t holding charge anymore, before I remembered to be fully draining the batteries and recharging them once a month. They work like new now practically.
