Most li batts have low voltage protection and will shut off automatically before damage occurs. Li batt chargers stop charging when batt is full. U can leave on all night without risk, but can also charge up within an hour or two. This message was posted from a K750

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.

I've heard that they aren't. Even a non-smart batteries available charge can be estimated.

Everynight before i go to bed, always means the phoen is fully charged and it wont run out on me unexpectedly.

I use the walkman on my w800 most of the day so the battery takes quite a hit sometimes

If I just use it for calls/texts/organiser/pic taking it usually lasts me 4 days at least. A bit less if I use the radio/MP3 player/games/video recorder in that time. Rarely wait for the low battery warning and start charging when it gets below 10%.

Now that I have a desktop stand, my phone is getting charged for most of the day and overnight. I am not sure if it does more harm than good, but it is handy.

If it's lithium, and as long as the charger isn't faulty, it won't overcharge. If it doesn't overcharge, then it won't affect the lifecycle of the battery.

For example if you charge the batt all night, it will actually only charge long enough to top up the battery, after which the charger will cut out. So if the batt needs half an hour charge, it will make no difference to the battery life cycle if you leave it on the charger all night or just for half an hour. (since in either case it is only being charged for the half hour)

However since batteries lose charge slowly when not in use, if you leave the phone on the charger when not in use for more than a day, it will be fully topped up when you take it off the charger. This means every few hours or so the charge circuit will kick in for a minute or two and top up the battery. This is different to a trickle charge, which would overcharge a lithium battery.
