Opinions on charging: is topping off partially discharged batts a problem?

[renstyle]

Morning all,

had a question regarding my KR808 batts. I have 4 batts in constant rotation, usually carrying 2 with me and 2 more at my desk.

I've got a PCC which seems to shut off once proper charge has been achieved, my 901/808 "dongle" chargers do not turn the end-LED off when they batts are charged, but the PCC does appear to do this.

I've been using my pair of batts during the first half of the day at work, after about 2-3 hours of medium vaping on batt #1 I swap it to the fully-charged pcc. I continue this until I leave for home. Usually I only have batt #4 needing charging, and I swap that to the PCC for the drive home (45mins).

The batts appear to stop charging on the pcc after 60-90mins (lights go out). I was hoping these light charges won't degrade the batteries, since Lithium batts aren't supposed to have a "memory" per se. I also never leave any batts charging over nite at home, even on the pcc.

Does anything in this rotation sound "bad"? The batts seem to perform nicely, and I'm not getting any of them to "blink" telling me to recharge.

Once I have more $$$ I'm going to get some higher mAh batts, but for now I am stuck with the 4 KR808.

Actually pre-drained charges work to lengthen battery life. See:

So... once you see a battery in the charger is charged (unless you're trying to get maximum time when you're out and about), it's best to change batteries.
