Use it or lose it. I'm not sure if the same rules apply to the new Lithium type batteries as applied to the old ni-cad’s.

I do not believe the Lithium's have a memory. Please correct me if I am wrong

Running the battery through an occasional deep discharge is *supposed* to be good for the battery. Truth be told, I’ve never had the diligence to do it, though. The only deep discharge mine gets is what happens naturally on airplanes.

I’ve also never EVER had any good luck with aftermarket batteries. About a year is all I have ever gotten from one. The only replacement battery that’s done me right is the Lenovo OEM battery I bought to replace my dead Lenovo battery. So far it’s working great. It’s LiIon, though, not NiMH.
