That was true with Ni-CAD batteries that developed memories if only slightly discharged. The new chemistries (Li-ion in the Axim) do not have that problem and, in the case of Li-ion, the more deep discharges it receives, the fewer times it can be recharged. Here's a pretty decent web page about and and a search on Li-ion here at AximSite will turn up some more links.
