What is better to keep a battery charged or fully drained?
 
Hi guys, I'm wondering this, to better preserve the life of a battery it is better to keep it charged or drained for example if you're not gonna use it for a week or even a month. I'm using an infolithium battery. I know they slowly discharge and that you can keep them half-charged and alike, but there must be something perjudicial about it, or not? :confused:

1. Do not try to drain Lithium-Ion batteries.

2. Actually keeping them at a half-charged state is considered good, but difficult to do at times.

Thank you! I kinda thought keeping batteries drained was best, now I'm just charging it!
