does anyone actually let the battery fully charge up?? by "fully charge", i
mean where the messagepad does not trickle charge the battery anymore.. not
just to where the battery percentage reads 100%..

i do, but it usually takes two or more days to fully charge my NiMH
battery.. using the 9W adapter..

just because the percentage reads 100% does not mean that your battery is
fully charged...

i bet quite a few users are prematurely wearing out their batteries, by NOT
fully charging the battery..

has anyone other than myself taken this into consideration?
