Charging / Battery Treating

[lomaxx]

Unless i missed something, the wiki is short on information on how to take care of your battery.
What i found so far is this: http://pandorawiki.org/User_manual#Charging

I would like to add some more questions+answers to it, which might be partially redundant, but which i still would like to add for clarity. And because i do not want to write something wrong and i am not experienced with Lithium Polymer batteries, i would first like to ask people what's the right thing to do. So if you please could help me with some information on this topic. Also feel free to add more questions that you think are of interest.

- How long does the battery approximately need to charge fully? (is 8 hours only for the first time?) Maybe the different power-modes should be considered (login-screen, logged-in with full desktop but in power-save-mode, while working with it with wlan enabled)
- Is it healthy to keep charging over night even if the time is longer than a full-charge?
- Is it ok to keep power connected when i am using the Pandora at home and the battery is already at 100% or should i disconnect it once it reaches 100% and run on battery for a while?
- Which is a good value to charge the battery again? 50%? 30%? 10%? Or is it even unhealthy to go that low?

should cover most of these questions.

It ought to be safe to leave the charger on, and it is safe to go down to 10%, the biggest risk being to the filesystem if there is not time to shutdown cleanly, the battery contains over-discharge protection

Oh. There it is. Thanks a lot. I will create a wiki-account and will try to insert a reference to that page.
