I don't have a fancy smart phone so my phone battery lasts about 10 days instead of 10 hours... but surely in both cases the best thing for overall battery life is still to let it run down before you charge it (admittedly battery tech is much better now but it's still a good idea to do it for those of us who don't like throwing away a perfectly good phone every year). As such, having something like this at your desk at work for example you would still be better turning it off so your phone doesn't get automatically charged when you don't need it. |
You don't have to worry about that with Lithium ion. It doesn't have the memory affect.
Unless you're phone is ancient, you can also not worry about it.
I've owned phones for years and never had to replace a battery.
Same with portable game devices and PS3 controllers.
