Iv done some google searches and cant seam to find an answer..I know they say to charge your battery before fully drained to prolong life..to not always wait before all the way dead..what about taking a battery off charger before its fully charged? Something tells me its not good for it. Figured id see if any of you knew ?

Realistically it doesn't make that much of a difference. If you take it off too soon, that just means you'll have to put it back on sooner. The number of times you charge a battery isn't really what determines it's life cycle even though that's generally how they're rated. It's the heat produced in the battery during the charging process.
Heat produced. Thats why they say put it on before its all the way dead. Less time it has to charge, less heat produced eh
Spot on! It's heat, not cycles. So don't leave them in the car with the windows up in the summer time, it shortens the life span.
Welcome...I direct you to a few locations

The heat cycle thing is really true of any battery. Ever notice your car battery tends to die in the winter? It isn't the cold winter that kills it. It is the hot summer damaging it and the the hard cold starts that push it over the edge.
Particularly, 1300 vision spinner. Also have a 1000 joyetech ego upgrade. And tomorrow i will have a mvp 2
Ok, all of those devices have their own built in protection.
They all shut the device down at a low limit, to prevent the battery voltage from going too low and damaging the battery. When your spinner or eGo turns itself off the battery isn't completely dead, it's actually turning itself off when the battery voltage has dropped to 3.2 volts. MVP will do the same thing. Running any of those until they turn themselves off it perfectly fine. In other words, they know what they are doing. It's the mechanical mods that have no circuitry at all in the PV where you have to start worrying about draining batteries too low.
On the other end, a partial charge doesn't hurt a Li-On battery either. It will most likely be the exception rather than the rule that you don't have time to do a complete charge, but it won't damage the battery or shorten it's overall life span. But the shorter run time due to a partial charge might annoy the bejeezers out of you.
