[Ti] Conflicting advice on li-ion batteries

>>A battery guide on the web says lithium ion batteries prefer shallow discharges before recharge, however the instruction manual that came with the TiBook says that after the initial full charge/discharge it can be plugged into the power anytime you like. Apple then contradicts itself in its online KnowledgeBase, which recommends exhausting the battery before each charge.

>>So which is right?

Hmmm. Mine isn't that smart. I have to plug it in and pull the plug from it manually. I've always wanted my Ti to plug itself in when it needs but it just won't listen to me.
