Best charging practices

[gina$zanboti]

What are the best charging practices to use with the lithium polymer battery that's in the 2014? Given that it takes so long to charge the darn thing having it less than fully changed seems like a huge hassle and a problem just waiting to happen. My laptop has a lithium polymer and from what I've heard it's best to keep it charged around 60% as a full charge or very low charge could hurt the battery life.

I was hoping I could just charge the thing every night and wake up with a full charge, but if it's going to kill my battery life then I'm not sure what I should do.

I charge my 2013 Note 10.1 every night if the battery level is below 65% and if the level is above that I just turn it off till the next day. It has been working for me for 8 months now without issue.

Yea I'm using a family member's 2013 note 10.1 and the battery depletes really quickly. Also if I'm not mistaken the 2013 model uses a lithium ion battery. The new 2014 will be using a lithium polymer.

Maintain charge between 40 and 80 percent to increase the life of lithium ion/polymer batteries.

Haven't used my old Note 10.1 (or my brand new one) too much, but my Note 1, Note 2 and iPad 4 I keep charged constantly and every 2 weeks or so I fully discharge (=use it until it is 10% full). This way I can nearly always take it with me to some forsaken place (without electricity) for many hours. I discharge whenever convenient or when the battery has run below 80-85%. Battery after one year of use is excellent. Do not use this method with crappy chargers on crappy phones as they could overcharge the battery, which is bad for battery life. As an indicator: Your phone should be cold when on charger and battery full.

I found this link that I thought provided some more helpful info on how to deal with your lithium ion/polymer batteries:
