thanks for the info, i have read MANY articles on lion batteries, and i have come to the conclusion that they do initially need to be cycled, i am just an anal person and feel better if i cycle them
i do believe that they can go bad if they sit on the shelf w/ out first being charged, thats why i got a somewhat dud on the one i got off of ebay
and i know lion batts are the shit because of size/weight/capacity but why do they freakin die so soon in their life? 2-3 years is horrible, especially when 722 batteries are 40 dollars a piece for the 6600mah sony ones, cant they integrate an SLA/NIMH type battery that has the size/weight/capacity of a lion w/ the lifespan of a NIMH/SLA
i have had my 6v ecocharge SLA's for years, i had two die on me last year, but they were freakin 7+ years old
one is still going strong after about 5 years being constantly trickled
