Not charging the battery full on the first use is hard on the battery, but not usually fatal. Just keep it as full as you can. As an example, the battery can be charged about 10,000+ times if it stays above 80%, but only 500 times if it goes below 20% every cycle.
last week i forgot gsplayer on (playing from shoutcast) and i fell asleep with the ax on all night, batter was at 0% :hide: I've only done it once.. it doesnt really hurt it right? usually i'll charge from 50% or so. sometimes 70% i'll charge when home
