Necessity of Previous Hints?

According to BatteryUniversity, you should avoid a full discharge cycle with Li-ion (as found in newer Powerbooks) as overall battery capacity is reduced.

The whole site makes interesting reading and there's a summary table at http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-21.htm.
