When i got my 750 the guy in the store told me not to charge it overnight, but give it "2 to 3 hour bursts" as charging overnight damages the battery.

Where at the vodafone shop yesterday and listening to the staff telling a lady to charge her new phone for 14 hours(!) cuz it was new. The lady said she heard that you dont need that 14 hours anymore, cuz batterys got better , doesnt matter said that incompetent vodaf**ker, you have to charge a new phone for 14 hours or more! They have told me exactly the same when i was doing a mistake and bought a phone from vodafonestores. They are so incompetent! How many years was it when you needed to charge your phone for 14 hours the first time?

That's funny, it's the old nickel cadmium and nickel media hydride that need the longer initial charge...

The link to the battery university site (earlier in this thread) is a very informative site - http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm

Basically the 1st charge on a li-ion is no different to the 50th, in length or capacity gained. Li-ion chargers turn off when the battery is full, as an overcharge would damage the battery, and running a li-ion flat actually damages the battery also.

A thought is this quote from the batter university:

"Neither does a full discharge improve the capacity of a faded pack. However, a full discharge/charge will reset the digital circuit of a 'smart' battery to improve the state-of-charge estimation"

It says laptops use smart batteries, do the SE mobile phones use them?

My K608i gives estimation in %, which from this thread so does the K750i - or are smart batteries ones that give remaining time such as info lithium...

I think I may have answered my question with reference to my info lithium batteries comment.
