Afaik that is bullshit, i've read (some years ago) on various manufacturer's pages that lion batteries like being full.
Best reference i can provide is: http://www.powerstream.com/li.htm, they say a safety mechnism for overdischarge of lion batteries should implemented: "stops discharge when battery voltage falls below 2.3 volts per cell"
Seems like the patent office is letting through all applications being paid for, they get the money, why shouldn't they? But this will cause an overflow of obsolete patents, which will undermine the whole system.

From my own experience, it's just about carma.
So keep 'em full.

In the end only the big buck(tm) rule.
Not nice, not fair, but that's the way it is.

Read the documentation in the Documentation/fs/reiser (or somthing like that).
I have hunch they told somthing about that there.
