I charge my batts every night. Is it better to run them out before recharging? I also leave them in the charger for long periods of time...any poblems with this?

I do not let it run out, but that is just me. I haven't seen a problem with it so I don't mind.
As for having them on a charger for a long period of time, I do that also, it just shortens the life of it. Basically you get 300 charges or 1 year if you charge it one time a day.

It's very unlikely that you'd get three hundred charge cycles with this ever-cheapening chemistry.
Lithium-* batteries don't have a memory (practically / over the expected service-life of these batteries). You can use them anywhere in the charge cycle.
Lithium-Ion hates being deep-cycled. You're better off not discharging them to the cutoff before recharging them.
In theory, you can leave them on the charger. That's assuming the charger is really doing the "right thing". I'm not entirely convinced that it is, but close enough as to make no difference really. Mine stay on the charger all night.
These are extremely cheap batteries, and incredibly disposable. Just plan on replacing them every couple/few months and call it "good".

Thank you addy, you always know how to make a post of mine better, I am so glad there is someone as intelligent as you on here! I really love to read what you have to say, I am so well informed from you.
I know it might sound like scarcasm but I really mean it. You are so smart, it is so nice to be able to understand what you say also lol!
Take care addy, hope to hear from you soon!

No problem, I am actually jealous of you. You are so book smart, I wish I was that intelligent, your brain just spits out these great facts!
And so who is demanding cheapening chemistry?
Not many, I woul think...Not the consumers, I would think
?I wouldn't mind paying 2 or 3$ more per battery than I was in March, and be getting better chemistry.
Naw, this is just what one would expect with the Chinese. They continue to cheapen the product until the VAR starts rejecting shipments. It's a cycle. They are trying to make a dollar too. At some point V4L will end-up rejecting entire runs and their manufacturers will bring it back up a little Rinse, lather, repeat until the product becomes mature and a middle-ground is found.
